Weld it and flush. 2.2 Camry condenser has larger fins, I've never replaced one throughout my years of repairing those cars.

That's what one AC man told me. Another said it might affect the compressor.

That it work doesn’t make it the right thing to do. In this thread, we preach about the right way to fix cars and not some rather shoddy under tree shade repair style.

Thank you.

My 2005 Corolla sport doesn’t go past 90km/h even when you are on full throttle. Scanned it and the result had to do with throttle position error or so. The mechanic drained the gear box oil, serviced the filter and the throttle sensor and said it was okay. So I took it home. Driving it again yesterday I realized the car still doesn’t accelerate beyond 90km/h

Hello House,

Just changed my Camry 2011 AC Compressor to Tokunbo Manual Compressor , few hours ago.The belt was changed too. But I started noticing funny sounds coming from the AC vent. But the AC is very chilling..

Could this be, that the compressor is not a good one or it was replaced with something different from the initial one, that’s not compatible with the car ?

I hate hearing funny and uncomfortable sounds from my car.. Kindly help out..

Thanks

Is your car an electronic throttle pedal and throttle body or a cable operated type?

I think it is electronic. It has sensor. I complained to the mechanic again and he is saying we will replace the fuel pump. I just don't want to buy a fuel pump and at the end the result is the same. I will be furius

Replace throttle pedal with a tokunbo unit complete with the sensor.

My foreign used es330 recently started doing hard starting. I will turn the key up to 4 times before it starts. Sometimes it starts at a single key turn. Sometimes at 2 or more key turns.

It doesn't happen only in the mornings. But once it starts, it starts easily at the first key turn.

I also noticed if I rev the car at gear one, it moves slowly before changing to the second gear and then it moves well after that.

I haven't repaired anything in the car except change oil and clean the air filter.

What could be the problem?

They’ll not open the engine. Wha mr they’ll do is to take off the intake and the knock sensor is in the belly of the V. I suspect rodent infestation. However, pls scan that car engine and transmission then post codes.

E get one codes I no understand here. Was this car flooded or was the ecu replaced?

That said, check if the car has adequate fuel pressure going to the engine and also check if the security light goes off when key is inserted into the ignition

I am the first owner in Nigeria and it wasn't flooded nor is the ecu replaced.

I will check the fuel pressure tomorrow.

What about the TRC OFF and VSC lights on the dashboard?

Also, what about the knock sensor? I changed two different knock sensors and it's still not working.

Did you check the wiring harness that sockets into the sensor and how sure are you of the sensors good state?

kingreign:

I am not. I intend to take it to a different, and hopefully, more knowledgeable mechanic tomorrow and I will ask him to check the whole wiring that connects to the sensor

yes, the security light goes off with the key inserted and the car get adequate fuel pressure.

I changed to another knock sensors and the engibe light still came on after clearing it.

The thing is, na tokunbo sensors they get here. Is there any way to get new or original tested knock sensors?

And you’re sure if the wire is not severed by rodents?

Pls drive for some days, scan and post here.
