I experience a slight jerk on my camry 2.4 while in motion, that kind of jerk you experience when there is a change in transmission, especially as experienced in manual vehicles, but not as a result of change in transmission.

It makes my driving experience horrible.
I have changed and adjusted plugs severally, i have changed my fuel pump and filter to a new one, i have changed my engine mount at the top and still problem persists.

My check engine light comes on.

The last time i did a scan, it only showed there was something wrong with the coolant termostat, and my engine does not overheat.

Please i am almost giving up on this car, who has the solution to this problem please?

Dash me nah

Have you replaced the thermostat? What type of scanner was used to test vehicle?

ignorance sometimes can be bliss, I'm sure it's the skeletal obdII generic scanner.

@ op sometimes go the extra mile, gather info from all around and then u will enjoy what life has to offer.

get in touch with a good technician with adequate tools, jerking isn't a big deal when it comes to Toyota, let the tech scan ur vehicle with a more holistic scanner that can read gear codes. u will discover some other faults. engine and gear mounts ok?
confirm if ur thermo has been removed, revert the vehicle to factory specs and enjoy life

Each time the check light comes on, a car should be scanned before parts are replaced.

Apt and concise! Sometimes, people forget those Bluetooth scanners are just for basic faults only.

Thanks so much, i will go to a better scanner, i used a technician who uses a hand held scanner.
Can i get a good recommendation on a good diagnostic centre in Abuja?

[s]contact me on Monday within 9am-4pm working hours.

Diagnosis cost 5,000 naira only. [/s]

Date for subsidized diagnosis elapsed.

I have that problem currnetly but when I want to diagnosis the vehicle I was told to change a wire connected to the exhaust both up and down and that's all as for the check engine it will keep showing only if you made the fan permanent.

O2 sensors kazeems call it exhaust sensor. u should pay more attention to what ur mechanic changes, in ops case it's actually different. @op kingreign has offered u an option to enjoy life once again. I suggest u take it.

Check engine and gearbox sittings.
Sometimes they give similar symptoms when they are bad.

�� You are free to thank me later.

I had something similar with my Acura 3.2 TL V6
after servicing the gearbox 3months earlier, I noticed the oil gauge was almost double it normal level when I drew the attention of the Mech he told me not to worry that it was OK, fast-forward to three weeks ago, I noticed the vehicle disengages anytime I slow down to pass through gallops, and also it does not engage at all when am driving out in the morning, but if I put it in reverse (R) it doesn't have that issue,
I went to another place where they reduced the transmission fluid, and it's started working perfectly.

My take here is, most inexperienced auto mech are the problems we have.

Hope you know theres differences between the O2 sensor and AF sensors?

Don't go mix them up.

Thanks guys


i met another guy who also scanned, and it only revealed the same problem with coolant thermostat only.
but he suggested that it was something wrong with a plug valve in my transmission after driving the car.
but i still feel it might not be something that serious with the gear box itself.
as someone rightly suggested above, i will check the gear box sitting, that is my next area of suspicion.

Post the codes and their definitions. That's when you can get suggestions based on experience of others.

Your engine basically needs a tune up and it's even better if you have fault codes to lead you fast to the problem. No need to be fed up as this is not a serious problem, it's a common problem with Toyota cars when you don't follow the routine and interval maintenances.
