I got the same problem within this couple weeks, but mine doesn't have heating problem, just loud noise (vibrating sound) when increase the acceleration. Anybody know what is the problem? Maybe btsridhar, could give me some update about his/her car or fellow Corolla users that have same problem?
I appreciate for any helps or ideas.

It's your valves before the oil hits them to lubricate them. Do you have enough oil in your car and the correct viscosity? This is a normal scenario.

30K maintenance on Corolla

Hi. I own a 2006 Corolla. It's due for 30K major service. My regular toyota dealer quotes it for $450+.
Question: Is it worth it? I might get it cheap at other service stations.
Are there any pros/cons either way?
Thanks.

You can check what is actually needed here: Maintenance Schedules, Recalls and Technical Service Bulletins. Some dealers are known for wanting to do more work than the manufacturer specifies so it's always good to check.

FYI, I own a 2001 Corolla as well as a 2009 Corolla and a 1986 Tercel which I bought brand new in 1985. I have never had any preventive maintenance done on any of my vehicles by the dealer. All I do is regular oil changes, spark plugs on the "86" occasionally and rotate the tires occasionally. It is also important to make sure your fluids are always at there required levels. So in my opinion skip all the little stuff and just do the necessities and you'll save a quite a lot of money and your Toyota will be fine. Also, note to keep records of your oil changes so your warranty is not voided.

I wash yesterday under the hood of my corolla 2004. Water spry was just for few second.
Problem starts after wash the engine, engine yellow light show up in dash. Driving fine under 60Km
But refuse to speed up to 100km looks like gear shift don’ want to go in 4th gear.
I went to my garage mechanics check with computer and got Code# P2770. He don’t know because description wasn’t available on his computer any way he rest and yellow engine light going.
Then I test the car on highway everything is fine car went over to 100Km. now next morning on start my day again engine check light show up.
I just find out Code#P2770 desecration: DSL Solenoid Circuit High (Shift Solenoid Valve DSL) Electronic controlled automatic transmission (ECT)
Please advise me how I can fix this problem. What need to replace.

My answer would be to keep the water off of the engine. Not sure why you would want to wash your engine with water anyway, water doesn't cut grease! I would guess your problem might disappear when the effected part, whatever it might be, dries out.

Either have a professional shop do it, or if you are the patient sort---what I do is get warm water and Simple Green, mix it up, and use a paint brush to clean things up while covering up vital electronic parts with plastic or tin foil. This is far more precise than something like a hose or steam wand at a car wash.
