Battery Replacement and Engine Hesitation by craznazn
Oct 29, 2008 (8:55 am)

Just replaced the OEM battery (24F) for my 2004 Camry LE (4Cyl) with an Energizer that I bought from Sam's Club. Now, I'm experiencing hesitation at idle. In the store's battery catalog, there was a mention on ESP incompatability with replacement batteries which can cause hesitation.
 
Any one else have that experience and what countermeasures were taken?
 
Thanks!

Check to make sure that the battery is good, delivering the voltage needed. It may have low voltage and need charged, or a bad cell....causing your hesitation problems. You should have close to 14Volts on it.

Squeal may be the plastic rubbing on the steering wheel not a normal maintenance thing but find some lithium spray grease in the the same section of the store and spray it on the area where the steering wheel meets the column

Price for timing belt change.
  
Sometimes I see dealers run specials for this service. Id walk in, not drive in and ask about any service special. Of course this dealer has already gave you a price. Im guessing a 4 clyinder is about $200.00 labor plus $55.00 for the part.That's 3 hours tops at $65-$75/hr. A master mechanic specializing on this car will have it done in 30mins.
 
I do my own for the price of a belt from the local parts store which is about $30.00.

To check your evap system it starts in the area behind the gas tank beneath the trunk. A bunch of hoses are there.
 
 I doubt if this area is bad, but another area possibly with a tube off is the VSV next to the MAF flow sensor in the duct from the air filter. The VSV(vacuum switching valve) could have a loose tube, hose. It is to the right of the MAF, and related to the EVAP canister in the trunk area.
 
This is for a 2AZ-FE engine (4 cylinder).the fuse for EFI main is forward right corner of fuse block

When you replace the battery all of the "learned" parameters concerning the optimal operation of the engine and transaxle will be lost and replaced by the original factory default parameters. Engineering "best guess" parameters that only apply to a completely new car as it rolls off the factory floor.
 
Within ~500 miles your engine/transaxle control ECU will have (re)learned, corrected, the parameters in order to again have optimal operation of a well broken in, well worn, '04 with XXX miles accrued.
