To be honest no much difference in fuel consumption but from related studies I found out that a defective electronic control throttle system could be another reason for the high fuel consumption and that's why I want to get that fixed then evaluate the overall fuel consumption of the ride.

ok good....

Factory recommendation for your vehicle is Toyota WS transmission oil grade. Anything other than this might cause a damage to your transmission. Pls try as soon as possible to replace the oil with the recommended oil which is WS.
Thanks.

Good morning house,
My 08/09 Camry starts and stalls after some 5 seconds.
I changed the battery earlier today, that's when the problem started.

Thanks. Problem solved.
I revved the engine a bit and drove the car around. AutoMoTech advised that I do that.

Since it wasn't there before, there is chance u either got a wrong seating, its improperly fixed or the seatings are bad.
Except if the vehicle has been vibrating before but you didnt notice because of the previous bad engine seats

Get a Mechanic to help you check the gear lever and the mechanism for the shifts.

Took of the one on top of the transmission today and put it back ,
The vibration has greatly reduced. It’s stilk present but not as hard as before
The vibration is only obvious when seated in the car

Can you confirm the engine is not misfiring?
Also this vibration is it at idle, at a certain speed or everytime?

Personal opinion: any competent Technician should be able to help resolve this issue provided its just the fuel rail pressure switch fault. So you just might need a good diagnosis also.

Good morning AutoMoTech,

I use a Honda Civic 2008, and after entering one dangerous pot hole, the radiator started leaking, it was fixed, but still getting short of water and over heating, then it was bleeded and still the same thing.

morning sir. there is a high chance you have a leak somewhere else. either internal or xternal. persoanlly is don support fixing a radiator. it works o but i dont suggest it to my customers. replacement usually gives better peace of mind.
now do you experience misfires? after fixing the radiator did you pressure test to check if the system can hold enough pressure? also have you tested the radiator cap if it holds pressure?

alright...do you still feel the vibration when compressor is off? or regardless its always vibrating?
vibration at idle, when ac is on etc could be as a result of a dirty throttle body/ idle air control valve. check your throttle body (the one they call injector mouth) if its dirty, clean it and see.

My 2007 Toyota Camry vibrates when I start it. And d check engine light blinks too.
Re: REMOTE FAULT ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS GUIDE By AutoMoTech by spencekat(m): 4:21pm On Aug 14, 2020
AutoMoTech:

Restricted fuel/air supply could cause this among many other things. However consider the following;
1. Scan the engine
2. Service injectors
3. Clean throttle body too.
4. Test fuel pump pressure
5. Clean MAF sensor...



Thanks!
