A 2010 Toyota Camry le with 2ar-fe engine was having a problem. The problem is when starting for the 1st time in the morning, the car will attempt to start while jecking and then switch off. On the 2nd attempt, it will start normal as if nothing happen on the previous attempt.
No check engine light seen while the engine is on but seen when you turn on the ignition.
A scan was performed and p0015 was seen as a pending code.
But the code disappeared after an oil change and driving for about 50+ miles.
My question is can this code cause the starting problem because the car still starts like that especially after being parked for about 6hrs even if you driven it for the day.

This sounds like a fuel system issue

When I had fuel pump issue, my car didn't start on the first turn of the engine. But when I changed it, it was always one hand.

Good day Ayo,
My ford Explorer 2005 I noticed lately that whenever I first engage the gear in drive or reverse it make this sharp noise "Gah". Please note when I first bought it in 2015 I changed the Gear filter and so the oil which I used Motorcraft ATF. What do you think might be the issue to get rid of this scary sharp noise. Thanks

Boss run a scan if there is a CEL.
But from what you said prolly an Engine Seat or An internal issue with the tranny.

This sounds like a fuel system issue

Cleaned and tested ok the fuel pressure regulator with a guage but still hoping on checking for leaking injection.

Erratic Performance After Warming Up

A Toyota Sequoia 2005 starts up well, sometimes the idle will sound a little low, but it has never stalled out while idling. If the idle is rough. When the car is taking off from a standstill it moves smoothly, there is no misfire/stuttering problem. But when the vehicle has warm after driving some distance, the vehicle misfires/stutters very badly, misfiring/stuttering also occurs after shifting but seems to only occur below about 2,500 RPM

C1201 – Engine Control System Malfunction

A fault is found in Toyota SUV engine control system and is detected through the CEL (Check Engine Light) and running a Diagnosis, the fault code that came up are P0430 and C1201. The fail-safe feature of C1201 that came up on the dashboard bans the operations of VSC and TRAC. When the signals from the engine are input normally, the fail-safe is cancelled and the DTC is not stored.

One major issue with this C1201 code, it comes with other fault codes; mostly

P0455: Evaporator Emission Control System Leak Detected (no purge flow or large leak)

P0441: Evaporator Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow

The 3 codes are related to each other.

The C1201 code is the one which tells the vehicle to turn on the light of the check engine and to disable the traction and VSC. Basically, when the other two codes pop up, this one is responsible for letting you know that there is a problem there. This one can also be solved by changing the other codes because they are the ones that caused it.

But in this case I have to deal with[b] P0430 – 2007 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER[/b] – Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2.

Causes

Faulty Three-way Catalyst Converter Bank 2
Exhaust Tube
Intake Air Leaks
Faulty Oxygen (O2) Sensor
Faulty Fuel injector(s)
Leaking Fuel Injector (s)
Faulty Spark plugs
Improper Ignition Timing
Dirty Air Filter and lastly but rarely
Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)

After fixing the P0430, the next step was to check if the VSC [/b]light on the dashboard was gone or still showing. Which was showing with the [b]CEL.

C1201 codes is mostly corrected by changing the gas cap tank to an OEM gas cap to solve the issue.

In conclusion we decided to order for a new one online to solve the issue and the car now run smoothly.

My car finds it difficult to selecting gears easily these days. When you move after the light turns green, it'll select 1,2 then instead of 3, it'll do as if it pulled off gear. Then I'll have to reduce acceleration then it'll gradually select 3 and above. Then cars behind you will notice you aren't picking pace and start honking. Any idea what the problem might be?

Good day sir, from this result I can categorically tell you it's more than that. Why don't you run a freeze frame?

But O² sensor going bad and VSS can be replaced.
