Good afternoon,
I've been having this issue with my Toyota Camry 2009 2AZ-FE for a while now.
Driving without using AC feels smooth but once I switch on the AC and at a stop, car vibrates if I change gear to neutral or park vibration reduces if I switch the gear back to drive, vibration continues.

Help needed here please.
I'm tired of this issue.

Check Throttle body/IACV. Inspect engine mounts.

@Gazzuz,

My Camry has this drama it does sometimes. Lets say I drive with AC, music or lights for long, once I park the car somewhere and turn it off, coming back to it a few minutes later, it wont start.

Unless u bring another battery. I bought an extra battery thinking it was battery ish yet it didnt work.

Someone said I should change alternator as my battery isnt charging. It happened again today. Both batteries couldnt start the car. I borrowed from another driver and it didnt start still until we waited a while.

Meanwhile my own batteries started his own car. What could cause this?

faulty starter motor or faulty electrical connections to starter motor. Poor grounding can also be part of the problem.

Boss I am sure that if you are the Mechanic you will surely give her time to come pick her car.... But in this case seems like the Mechanic is playing some pranks... He should have explain to her when to come for her car

Please house help me answer o. So I just changed my transmission on a Honda Civic. They brought the car today.

The transmission is perfect but I hear a funny sound from the engine and when I took it for a test drive and put the AC it looked like the engine was lagging.

My mechanic is saying the reason is because my transmission is new and the sensors need time to adapt (Whatever that means). He said I should give it a week and give a report next week. Alternatively he saying I might need to change the engine over time (No money ooo).

Please what do you guys think?

There is nothing adapting anywhere. If the issue wasn't there initially, something is wrong. You should probably start with a scan to see which codes come out

Please, what can make a car to keep shutting off whenever it's in traffic especially in afternoon. And also the rpm is usually less than 1000 during that period.

What car? How low does the rpm goes before shutting off?

It's a bus(1tr-fe). It always goes less than half of 1. I don't even know when do shutdown.

Less than half of 1 means below 500rpm. If I can recollect well, the 1tr-fe should have an electronic throttle body. Clean out the throttle body itself. I suspect a lot of gunk has accumulated at the butterfly.

It's there any nickname mechanics used to call it?

I would have scan it but the bus is already heavily kazeemised

Throttle body is called "injector mouth". Tell the guy to clean it out with carburetor cleaner.
