'04 Solara Moonroof Problem by buffalonickel
Dec 19, 2004 (6:48 pm)
Having a problem with noise in '04 Solara moonroof. When it opens in the tilt or the full open position the roof shutters and rubs as the glass rises up out of the locking position. This is especially evident in the summer during the heat.
 
Toyota has had a service bulletin pertaining to this that dates back to July '04, but there is still no answer here. I know that this is exclusive to certain VIN's and was wondering if any of you fine folks have experienced similar episodes or have heard of this?
 
I am surprised that it took almost 9 months (it took them many months to have enough complaints to generate the service bulletin) to get this far and still Toyota hasn't figured out a fix. I am also wondering if other Solara's won't experience the same dilemma over the next few years.

Hello, I have an '02 Camry Le.All you have to do to fix the noise is spray WD40 w/tube attached, around the steering shaft where it enters the floorboard's rubber grommet. Toyota says the noise is from the steering column moving against the rubber seal. I did this fix myself ,six mths. ago and not a sound since. Now, if Toyota would replace the stupid center exhuast pipe, hanging 3 7/8" from the ground. Looks like the exhaust system is falling down. Scaping on bumps like a cheaply made old car.

Our 2002 V6 LE gets an oil and filter change every 3 to 4 thousand miles. I also have the tires rotated every 5,000 miles. There is a cabin air filter behind the glove compartment that should be changed once a year or every 10,000 miles. I have changed ours twice and the old one is quite dirty.
 
The Camry has been one of our best trouble free autos we have ever owned.

Lug nuts question by cam2003
Dec 20, 2004 (12:16 pm)
I have OEM alloy rims with lug nuts, now I change to metal rims for winter. Do I need a different set of lug nuts for metal rims ? It seems lug nuts for alloy rims do not fit well.

cold start problem by ricarey
Dec 21, 2004 (8:41 am)
I've been having cold start problems since the summer. Since then I've replaced the spark plugs, battery, and had the IAC valve/EGR valve cleaned, as well as frequently using fuel system/fuel injection cleaners. Nothing seems to make the problem go away and it is fairly unpredictable. Will not start without using the accelerator in the morning or after work, though this is not 100 percent consistent. It will turn over but then idle down and die out. Anyone with any suggestions other than the IAC or EGR valve is much appreciated.

cold start by typesix

If car does not go to high idle after starting, it's IAC problem. If car needs several cranks to start when engine is cold, especially as outside temp falls, problem is likely cold start injector system. The cold start timer is common part that gets replaced.

I haven't ruled out the IAC completely, though it didn't work any better after having it cleaned out. Is there a way to see if it's totally shot? Is the cold start timer easy/not too expensive to replace or is that the same things as the cold fuel injector?

cold start by typesix
Dec 21, 2004 (1:14 pm)
The IAC will provide high idle after the car starts by sensing the coolant temperature(you did not say what year and engine your Camry is, mine is 89 4 cyl).The IAC should not affect the cold start. The cold start timer also senses coolant temperature and sends a signal to the cold start injector to squirt extra gas(besides the regular injectors)when the coolant temp is cold enough. The timer on my Camry is located on same side as distributor and is below it with an electrical connector that plugs into it. I think it's a brown color on mine. Need to take resistance reading of the timer when the car is cold and it should be a certain value(don't have the info with me, it's at home). Part cost is $120-140 at dealer.
