Good evening all.
I'm getting tired of this bank type corolla fa. It has emptied my pockets and drawn me into debts.
The problems I try to fix keep resurfacing.

Ac gas was leaking. Ac man said it was the evaporator and valve. Changed those, leakage still occurred after 2 days.
He checked again and said it was a hose. Replaced it, same thing. I met someone else in apo who told me the culprit was the compressor.
That's not all. Engine vibrates violently in the engine bay when I try to reverse (its a manual transmission)
Car also bounces noticeably when I switched gears. I've changed the back and right mounts so far.

Now the engine is shorting oil. Only me o cry

What do I do?

[s]None of the codes posted will cause transmission shift issues[/s].

U0101, remove battery, check harness connecting transmission ecu, it's not commented properly.

Once chrome trims are faded it's best to replace. To make chrome on surface, one would have to electroplate the items. It's not really a cheap work.

Oh okay. If it's removed, it could be stuck back. Snap and upload pictures of the items and place where it came out from.

scan the car and post codes.

as for fuel consumption what is the engine size and what do you record for your city and highway currently

it's a V6.
thanks for the quick reply. the code is P0003. Like I said it's a tokunboh and have not even been to a high way. While driving you will literally see the fuel gauge running down.

fuel volume regulator control is faulty reason for the high fuel consumption. Do you have smoke coming out of your tail pipe?

yours engine is the 1mz your fuel regulator assay is located in the tank along side your fuel pump. The way the tank is built and fuel pump location if the tank hits something hard it always affects the fuel pump.

I want you to check the fuel tank for deformity like caving in, severe scratch etc.

most solution point to wiring and injector cleaning only the gurus with experience can assist you though

Both. Better question is what is "high" and is this a sudden or gradual development?
