Replying to: gmbailey21 (Apr 14, 2009 1:50 pm) I’ve read this “complaint” many, many times, and I’ve read the answer (it is normal, it does it to warm up the car faster to reduce emissions) many, many times. I currently have a manual Corolla and manual Camry, so I don’t have first hand experience with this exact car, but I do follow this and another Toyota only website, so I have good sources, along with first-hand experience with a 4 speed automatic '01 Rav that also would not shift into overdrive when the engine coolant temp. was low. So we are talking about something that has been common and normal for at least 8-9 years. I hope this will put your mind at ease. Also, I have not heard or read about any big, widespread problems with changing their own oil, after they purchased the correct-sized wrench (around $6). You can look here and another Toyota only website for info on this. |

As for changing the oil, all you need is the special wrench and you are set! Good luck finding the right kind of oil! Where I am they had to order it for me because it's not a popular type in the south. I just call a month or so before it's due and go get it come home and change it. Simple as pie.

hey guys. ok. my car has 5,900 miles on it. i purchased it in Sept 08. i do the oil changes my self and all of that, but it has nothing to do with it, because the problem i am experiencing has been happening since i got the car. ok what happens is when the car is warmed up and i am driving lets say i am coming to a stop the rpms drop to about 600 and the car almost feels like it is going to die, i let go of the brake and the rpms go back up. i can do this repeatedly if i want to. no matter how fast or how slow i drive, when i press on the brake just before i come to a complete stop the care idles very weird... it like shakes, feels like i am driving a stick but my car is automatic... i took it to the dealer and the dealer drove it and the guy said he did not experience anything and the car did not give out any codes or whatever. has anyone experienced this issue ?? it pisses me off because it is a NEW car and i should not have this idle problem and feel it all the time when i am coming to a stop.... any help would be appreciated thanks guys |
