Good day all...
I have 2 problems with my 1997 Camry LE auto tranny,

1. When I leave the car under the hot sun with Windows all shut say like 2hrs, the screen that displays mileage upon starting the engine goes blank! Now when this happens, gear shifts (gear 1-2) becomes difficult/sluggish even at high rpm.
This also happens when I use my full light, the display also goes blank after 15mins of using full light.

The only way the gear shift goes back to normal and the mileage display return is when it cools down or I turn on the A/C for like 15-20mins max while driving... thereby cooling the dash area.
Why

2. My timing belt is always snapping...I have used 4 this year!!!
Why
I have used so many brands from so many markets with divers kind of packaging/writ ups on them.

I have used the car for 6yrs+ with no major issues,
Still does Abuja-Owerri till recently,
...help a brother please

for the odometer reading, check VSS and cluster....
your vehicle should be OBD1, dunno how scan works with that, but if u are able to scan and the problem is from the vss it should pop up in the scan.

for timing belt, my brother.... u need a qualified mechanic to check it.... no remote assistance for that one oh..

Thanks for your response...the deal I think is getting an experienced hand to put things in order. But come to think of it, that car is neither recent not complicated, I wonder why my mechanic is at loss!

Well, I've been a wannabe when it comes to making cars, most especially Toyota Camry and corollas. Sometimes I hear Big daddy, Sports, Pencil and many more..

Please, how do one differentiate these vehicles from each other? Is it based on the trims?

I just got a Corolla (Nigeria used) and while I was driving I had to park to drop someone. I didn't off the engine,I just put the car on park and thereafter I continued with my driving,but to my surprise I tried to press the break of the car but I couldn't,the break wouldnt press.I had to hit the car that was parked on the street. Pls what could be the possible cause?

Perhaps you drove with the emergency brake on? Or may be your brake master cylinder is faulty

The 2azfe Engine is a known oil burner, check if your exhaust is smoking, tell someone to hold the throttle at 3000rpm while the car is parked and check for smoke.

if smoke is visible there is fire on the mountain if not check for external leaks and be weary of the type of palm oil you use for servicing

There are more 03-07 Corolla forsale than that year. You only believe that because that's the car you want to buy.

As far as am concerned the car has no issues
