There’s a weird cranking noise that sometimes emanate from the engine of my few months old RX 350 (2009) Lexus. Bought the car directs Tok and engine is still very sound . I usually notice this weird engine noise whenever the vehicle is parked for a few hour’s especially on hot afternoons


My mechanic said it happens due to oil circulation when you start a car and its normal.

Another mechanic told me it could be that the filter under bottom plate is dusty or it could be that the chains in the engine need to be adjusted. That I should bring it for him to access it .

A friend who uses ES 350 is also experiencing similar issues and his mechanic said it’s the oil circulation when a car parked for a few hours starts

I’m still not satisfied with the mechanics response

I use the normal Mobil sold 9500 at Mobil stations and I’m thinking of switching to Mobil 1 hoping that would correct the noise. A colleague using RX350 uses Mobil 1 and has never encountered issues like this with his car



Please I need the views of experts/engineers in the house

Anybody here experienced a similar issues before ?

Is it a 2-3 seconds ‘krrrr’ sound when the car starts up after sitting for a while?

Vvt-I rattle. It’s fixable. If you’re in Abuja, feel free to patronize me for the repair. Also, that oil you’re using isn’t the right oil type for that car.

Pls if you’ve not used the car for more than 6months, you may switch but religiously monitor the oil levels and tail pipe.
Where in the south south are you located?

I don’t know the competency level of mechanics in your locality, as for the oil, I don’t know the actual state of your engine and it’s internals. If there’s sludge or not, if it’s worn out considerably or not.

I never said so pls. By the way, run a live scan on the following:
1. your short term fuel trim,
2. your long term fuel trims,
3. your AF sensor Voltage activity, and
4. your Mass Air Flow sensor reading.
Post screen shots let us observe.
Good afternoon king reign, the see below results from live scan;
1. Cylinder 1 injection vol = 0.120 mL
2. Catalyst monitor = not available
3. Monitor of fuel system = not available
4. Oxygen sensor (o2s)(A/FS) monitor = not available.
5. State #1 of fuel system = CL
6. State #2 of fuel system = unused
7. Monitor result of fuel system = Compl
8. Heated catalyst monitor = not available
9. Temperature of catalyst Bank 1 sensor 1 = 407.8°C.
10. Temperature of catalyst Bank 1 sensor 2 = 202.1°C
11. AF Lambda Bank 1 sensor 1 = 0.988
12. AFS Voltage Bank 1 sensor 1 = 3.18v.
The engine type is 3ZRFE, toyota avensis 2011.
Honestly, the fuel consumption of this car is huge. 60 ltrs can only cover 410km city driving and I rarely use AC.

PS. The scan suggested that my engine system is OK. The air filter is clean, the spark plugs are clean, the exhaust is not clogged. The only issues are VSC/ traction control and headlamp.

Please assist me.. thank you.

Hello Salbis, the live scan did not depict any LTFT (long term fuel trim or STFT short term fuel trim.
Please do and I prefer if you have screenshots of the scan results and videos too so you share them with me for the purpose of this remote diagnosis.
I await your response on this.
Cheers!

Hello good morning

I once had an issue with my car not being able to start but the lights were coming on. I got a roadside mechanic and he tried checking the fuse, kick, and it all, he said they were all fine. He had to run a wire from the kick to the battery so I was able to move pending when I get a rewire.

My mechanic took it and got it fixed up but not up to a month again, I wanted to start the car day before yesterday and noticed a 2 seconds delay. I decided to put it off and on again with another 2-3 seconds delay. Tried putting it on again, but it wasn't able to come on. the lights were just on.

I ran a wire like before from the kick to the battery to start it.

Any idea of what can be done or what is causing this issue?

car is toyota matix xr 2005

@ kingreign
My mechanic noted the rewire will check to see what is making the fuse fail when I bring it

Issue may be with the starter or live wire to the starter.

If starter was failing and was "serviced" by rewire, then it has failed again.

Replace starter.
