Pls Help My Car by JoinMarco: 9:30pm On Mar 04, 2022
Okay, I'll go straight to it.
I'm going to explain what has been done to the car to paint a clearer picture and rule out areas already looked at.
My car is a Camry 2004 with 4 cylinders(i4)

The car has been having acceleration issues.

The prob became very noticeable when my fuel finished on the road.

Anytime I match d throttle pass 2000rpm is struggles to pass beyond that point. The engine makes a noise as though the exhaust has blown. I'll have to match d throttle to the end and hold on for some time before it will jerk and accelarte a slowly while making a loud rev noise.

I took d car to a mechanic when the car started making reving noises (like ur exhaust had blown) and was vibrating Eve when the car wasn't accelerating (When the ignition was on)

The tank was emptied and cleaned while a new fuel was added the problem persisted
The fuel pump was replaced with another but the prob persisted
The four spark plugs were changed, the problem persisted.

One faulty coil was changed, the car became much quieter (no more reving or vibrations) but the car still had acceleration issues.
Injector and nozzles were serviced, d problem still persisted.
O2 sensor/fuel air sensor was checked and nothing was wrong with it.


All these and the prob still persists.
The mechanic suggested that it's probably bad fuel again that I should burn it out and refill with a better one.

I'm tired.
Is there anything I'm missing or haven't checked. Pls suggestions.

Is your car automatic or manual? I had similar problem with my first car, it was manual.

Why do you guys waste money on your cars without proper diagnosis?

That's why I advise every car users to get the OBD2 Bluetooth car scanner. A simple scan may tell you the problem of this car.

Try and scan your car today and stop wasting your hard earn money on parts and repairs

And you know this how?
Those are signs of transmission failure, but they are also signs of other issues including engine failure.

Only a scan tool can give you an idea of what is going on.

It has entered loop mode,either throttle sensor is bad
Re: Pls Help My Car by Alvin007: 7:51am On Mar 08, 2022
Check your catalysts…I hope your exhaust system is not blocked?
Re: Pls Help My Car by xperiencelove(m): 11:57am On Mar 08, 2022
Bro, there is a sensor called crankshaft position sensor which our mechanic calls starting sensor, it is beneath your alternator and its wire pass through under the alternator belt. Check if the wire insulator has not been peeled by alternator belt. You can test another sensor with correct camry starting sensor.

do you scan vehicles or sell vehicle scanners?

What your car needs is not just a scan, but a competent mechanic. Competent techs, don't just repair vehicles, they check the fault codes first.

It not just about scanning, but getting a lead on the cause of the malfunction, and fixing it right afterwards

The car has finally been fixed, Glory be to God.

Here's what actually happened.
After reading through what you said (I really appreciate the input) I suspected the exhaust was blocked.

I took it to another mechanic(God bless him) and he checked the exhaust system and discovered it was actually blocked due to wrong placement of the filter thereby disrupting the Air flow system.

The fuel pump was also not working properly.

Now the car now runs smoothly even faster than before.

We move. See u all on the road.

Alas…I was right. I once experienced this and it damaged the engine before I figured out
that it was a case of ‘blocked exhaust’. I’m glad you still have yours running. Cheers.
