haykay2005: Will it still take time to for the ecu to learn after cleaning this? The rough idea has reduced at low speed but still there. I have cleaned the idle control valve as suggested. Extremely smooth in Park and neutral, to the extent that I will think my engine is not running rough idle is not an iacv matter. |

ranz321: Good day, I have a pencil light camry, I have this issue. When I am driving, the car jerks, my mechanic has changed fuel pump, plugs until they changed the coils it now stop jerking. 1. Now the car sometimes goes off when I stop in the traffic light and takes a lot of starting before it comes back on. 2. the jerking happens when I start moving sometimes (maybe when the engine is hot) then sometimes when I am on the express. 3. Also when I just start moving I have to remove my leg from the acceleration slowly before it change gear.
Please what can I do, I have spent a lot. you need to take vehicle to a proper workshop. |

haykay2005: @gazzuz and all. My car vibrate towards the engine bay at low rpm especially when am applying break,Most of the time when I put on the Ac. The vibration goes away at high speed. I just serviced the car and no code whatsoever. New plugs, throttle body cleaned, new fuel filter, no fuel pump problem, engine mounts in good shape. What could be the problem pls? 1999 toyota camry
GAZZUZ, you Said in one of your old posts and I quote
[b]This is most likely what is happening with the idle on your Camry: Over time their is a build up of deposits in the throttle body that will slowly restrict air flow. If nothing was done the engine idle would slowly become lower and lower. The computer will adjust for the lower idle using its idle control system. Over time the computer will "learn" a new "base idle". When the battery goes dead or is disconnected the new "base idle" is lost from the computer memory. Once the "new" base idle is lost the engine will not idle properly until the computer can relearn the new base idle. This should happen much sooner than 100 drive cycles. One way to speed this process up is to clean the deposits from the throttle body using a spray type parts cleaner and a rag. With the throttle body clean the base idle should be much closer to the computers original base idle and the engine should idle almost normally until the computer can relearn its "new" base idle"[/b]
Could the newly cleaned throttle body the problem here? May be I should just remove and insert the battery for the ecu to learn the new base idle. Cos this suddenly started after a thorough tune up that involves throttle body cleaning Clean IACV

henrygale: Hello chief...thanks for your responses. My mechanic eventually changed the actuator, but the check engine light came up after he finished the job. Car started, the rattle stopped but the check engine. And I noticed the car laggs a lil while going uphill or about to pick up from a resting position. I scanned the car today and got a P0016 error code. What do u think pls? I belive we settled this on whatsapp right?

How a regular 4 stroke engine works.
Most spark ignition engines since the dawn of motoring have employed a four-stroke thermodynamic cycle developed in the late 19th Century by a German engineer named Nikolaus Otto. But in more recent years, a modified version of this ‘Otto’ cycle has grown in popularity.
Commonly known as the ‘Atkinson’ cycle, it has been employed in all vehicles with Lexus Hybrid Drive technology and has now been adopted in some of the manufacturer’s latest high-performance models, such as the Lexus RC F.
Why is this the case, and what is the difference between these two cycles?
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/4StrokeEngine_Ortho_3D_Small.gif
The Otto Cycle Four-stroke engines have four separate phases within a traditional Otto cycle, produced by two revolutions of the crankshaft and precise valve and ignition timing. As you can see from the animation below, these phases are: 1) intake, 2) compression, 3) combustion and 4) exhaust. Each corresponds to a full piston stroke inside the cylinder.
The cycle begins with a downward piston stroke, which draws a mixture of air and vapourised fuel through the intake port into the combustion chamber. The upward stroke of the returning piston compresses this mixture to around one-tenth of its volume, at which point it is ignited by the spark plug. This explosion drives the piston downward in a stroke that gives the engine its thrust. The final return stroke of the cycle evacuates the spent gases via the exhaust port so that the process can begin again.
But while this relatively straightforward cycle produces a satisfactory power output, it is not the most fuel-efficient means of generating power from a four-stroke piston engine. That accolade goes to engines running the Atkinson cycle.
The Atkinson Cycle
Patented in 1882 by British engineer James Atkinson, the Atkinson cycle significantly improved the fuel-efficiency of a four-stroke spark ignition engine through one particularly ingenious modification.
The four basic phases of the Otto cycle remained but Atkinson introduced a new timing sequence to delay the closing of the intake valve during the compression stroke. Keeping the intake valve open slightly longer effectively reduced the engine’s displacement during the intake cycle but retained the full ratio of expansion in the combustion or power stroke.
In simple terms, the Atkinson cycle was designed to minimise the use of fuel during the intake stroke yet exploit the part of the cycle that generates power.

obekediamondfuto: Nice suggestion but I think the Camry deal is already underway.... And the exhaust thing will create unnecessary stress....
One stone will be used to kill 2500 birds...
Get a Camry, while doing the necessary and possible leg works and general servicing, take down the engine and possibly gear, when on the ground change all changeables then install other engine.....
If both engines are even perfect, we may not have any need to return original Camry engine 
 Not same engines....
