There is a crack in one of the hose connecting the filter and the throttle body.

ControlModule:

from this picture, all those pipes/hoses blocked are for the EGR system. however that shouldn't be causing a "brake and stall" problem. i suspect the "new hole" he blocked only helped to reduce the multiple vacuum leaks u have been experiencing initially.
The pipe he blocked from the air filter might be the PCV hose. that might not solve your problem. at this point i will advice you try find a competent tech to help you check your car.

i would further suggest you check the following;
1. dirty throttle body
2. failed/dirty idle control valve
3. leaking brake system (brake diaphragm)
4. multiple vacuum leaks

Should I replace the four things you just mentioned or go for scan?.

Yes he did block it and two other external hose. I will change the throttle and look for mech to do proper fixing.

How about starting with cleaning of the IACV (idle air control valve) it's mounted beside the throttle body which is on the intake manifold and your throttle body is cable operated.

Notice that sensor indicated with the orange colour arrow? That's it. Usually, kazeem do block a valve hole with piece of rag or paper or polyethylene. All you needed to do was get a proper cleaner to clean it after opening it, after you're done cleaning it, recouple it back properly.

I always frown at people add or removing stuff from components of cars, Check you car brake booster as advised most importantly Scan ur car for fault codes.

the two ports were blocked before I bought the car. Then the mech opened the bigger hose that is connected to the filter and block that with a paper and glue. The car has been driving without ac. With all these blocking and blocking I am suspecting a bad throttle body.

The break is very okay. I will take a picture of the place

ControlModule:

well i presume the paper wasnt enough to block the vacuum leakage.
however just to better understand. pls can you possible take a picture of this mysterious hole?
also have you noticed any hissing sound when the engine runs? where does it come from?
when you depress your brake, have you noticed any reduction in braking performance?

My brother the hole came with the throttle body but he decided to block it a paper.

erico2k2:

Please what kind of hole? one that came naturaly with teh car? or one dug in by our Mech or where a tube is missing from?

Thanks. This morning the mech blocked a hole in the throttle body. I drove for like 8km without issues, just when I was happy issues came up again. It’s sickening. Should I go for scan?.

ControlModule:

sorry about this unfortunate ordeal.
the issue is with your brake booster. the diaphragm is most likely torn resulting in vacuum leak btw d braking system and the the engine.
solution would replacement of your brake booster.

I will try that. Do you know how much that cost?. Thank you so much for your response.

This is suppose to be a spare car. But it’s a pain in the ass. I bought the car from nairaland auto section

It is a common and well known act where by mechanics do side talks with car sellers or let me say reach a bargain on how a good or bad car can be certified by the mechanic in order for him to give the car a pass mark.

Mechanic == oga seller how much you go gimme make I fit tell them to buy this car. If you no shake body I go tell them say your car no good o.

Seller === oya na I go give you 20k

Mechanic observes the car wayociously,drives and certifies it,buyer pays and later he runs into series of problems which same mechanic will fix and collect some cash as well.

With a crooked mechanic,you can't win when it comes to purchasing a car.

Advise!! Inspect car yourself b4 making payments even if mechanic gives it a a green light. Sorry man! Hope you get help fixing your Camry.

We didn’t clean this!

This was the leftover I used for my other car. It was cleaned this morning. We discovered a paper blocking a small hole of the throttle body.

Good Day. I recently bought a car (used)from this forum, Camry 2001, Auto Transmission, i4. To be honest it’s a big regret. I live in Benin and I had to send a friend, who took a mechanic along to inspect the car. Car was certified okay by the mechanic. But when I came for the car I discovered that whenever I am driving and I apply break it shuts off. I managed it to Benin like that and the next day I took it to the mech for repairs.
Fuel pump was changed, engine sensor, to cut the long story short, I have spent more than 28k trying to fix the issue of break and quench with different mech and electricians. Right now I don’t know who to blame, the seller or the mechanic that inspected the car and certified it okay. Please help is needed urgently on how to fix this issue. Thank you.
