Hello, boss. I don come again. My 2007 Camry 3.5ltr revs on it's own and jerks when I change gears sometimes. It doesnt happen all the time but I'm really bothered. The gear shifting isnt hard but the jerk happens mostly when I put reverse.

Car has a check engine light and I scanned it and saw:
P0031
P0051


@Gazzuz, guys abeg I need help here. Tired of mechanics.
Something to with air to fuel heater temp being low. What can I do?

My mechanic claims it's not a problem but I think otherwise.

been having a really shitty spambot filled week.



P0031 - Oxygen (A/F) Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 1)


P0051 TOYOTA - Oxygen Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 2 Sensor 1


Replace both upstream 02 sensors on either bank , this will not solve the current reving on its own and jerking

grey area, but if the oil gets really dirty after draining just wash the filter with petrol.

Something made the fuse to cut.. Find that & your problem will be resolved..
Did you replace your fan motor recent? Or maybe drove inside water

Do you have a check engine light on? If yes.. Please scan & post the code here..

Is the temperature gauge on your guage cluster working? Asin does it get to red when the car starts overheating?
1. I didn’t replace my fan motor, didn’t drive inside any deep pool of water or can’t remember if I did before the issue started (what could be the implication if I did)
2. No check Engine light.
3. The temperature gauge is working fine.

How did you know that the vehicle was overheating?
What was the temperature the fans worked without the AC on?
the temperature kept rising above where The needle would normally stop.

I has happened to me.

Its not your thermostat, it is you coolant temperature sensor 2. Yes there are 2 of them but the 2 controls the fan. It is located at the bottom left of your radiator.

You have 3 options,
1. Replace the sensor
2. Bridge the connector (Fan will run with IGN II ON)
3. Constantly drive with AC on
thank you for your input, sir
