Bizzyliss:First question I'll ask is if your vehicle is moving very well. You may want to check your fuel pressure and also check if you have vacuum or exhaust leaks |

Bizzyliss:First check your oxygen sensor heater status if okay, then proceed to check voltage reading when engine is in operation under close loop. If reading are perfect, suspect your vehicle wiring from the sensor to the ECU. There might be some point without good electrical contact. That is my take. |

Bizzyliss:Check the sensor fuse to be sure it hasn't been replaced to d wrong one sir |

My Camry 2013 (4 cylinder) vibrates at around 40 to 80km/hr, changed the complete shaft and still no difference. Recently it began stalling at 38/40k/hr for about a second and re-engage back I scanned it and this is what came out. Anyone knows?

gemiclem:You see that vibration, it's likely the torque converter. That model of Camry has a factory defect that's called torque converter shudder. And the only way to solve it is to change your torque converter. Or just continue to manage it like that. Or sell it and buy the V6 as the V6 doesn't have that defect. Na why I no buy the car be that. I really loved the shape of the car, but I researched extensively. And saw it had that factory problem and ran away from the car. Now I'm enjoying my 2013 Corolla. As for the other codes, you may need to clear the codes, drive around and scan again. You can also use carb cleaner to clean your throttle body. When my former car, a 2007 corolla was throwing up that same throttle code, cleaning the throttle body solved it. So it may work for you. The other code there is for catalyst. And absence of catalyst shouldn't really make your car stall. 1 Like |

Most of the obd2 scanner, you will have to subscribe annually for you to have access of later update. I just need a good one with moderate price, that does not require annual subscription, some sub is not less than $25 [quote author=lawmanlala post=136850292][/quote] |

Hello Guys, Please what kind of mainteneance tips should i expect on a GS350 08-010. Is the GS a reliable car? I realise it might be abit more costly mainteneance wise than the ES/IS. Is getting parts for it going to be frsutrating? Just need something more different from the regular Lexus Sedans. |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by iykecollins1(m): 2:53pm On Sep 22, 2025 |
dejavu2018:GS is okay though the parts can be more than Es but on par with IS My main issue with the car is rewire issues And steering rack issues The steering is electric and can be very frustrating 1 Like |

Please between a toyota highlander 012 and 2013 camry which would you advice a 1st time car owner to buy... Note that my area (the road) is very rough/bad thats why I am considering the highlander.... But I believe it may be expensive to maintain...e.g fuelling... |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Grupo(m): 7:55pm On Oct 07, 2025 |
Omini247:Get the highlander. But since you are concerned about fueling costs, you can get the four cylinder of the car. Since the road in your area is not good, the Camry may be a bad option for you as it has low ground clearance. But if you decide to get the Camry, avoid the four cylinder version. It has a factory error that makes the torque converter to shudder at a certain speed. You can go for the six cylinder. The ball remains in your court. 1 Like |
