HI and welcome. How many miles are on your Camry>

This is probably the most clear case of a warranty issue I have seen in a while. Take it back, and get the dealer to give you the warranty diagnosis in writing. As for the starting RPS, my Camry starts a little high but runs great. You might have an electrical issue, but the car is brand new--have you looked at your idle screw?

Yup. You just gave him the best advice. If he wants to do it, once each year he needs to swap it out. And then of course swap it back 12 hours later. Liquid Wrench is totally in order here. Plus a set of crowfoot wrenches that go on the end of a socket extension. http://www.gunk.com/oe2.asp?pic=L204

Thanks for posting this. I have not yet worked on an '05.

You definitley have an intermittent problem with your car. Are you having any problems with the tilt wheel? STEVE

which model and year?

Hi--did you send me your email address? I'll send the scans of the 2 pages. STEVE

Welcome to the club, and a big hello to all in Cook County. Chitown has some of the best places to eat in the whole world. Berghoff. Portillo's. And of course, the biggest auto parts place in the nation, J.C.Whitney is there.

did you turn the rotors when you put the pads on? they might be out of round.

If you give me your email address I will send you the 2 pages of the manual on this. Unless Fidgits tells me that there is a way to post the images.

UPDATE: TSB'S: Toyota released two Technical Service Bulletins on 2002-2003 Camry's. First, steering wheel noise while turning--ST002-03 2003 Camry, second, front suspension knock or thump--SU001-03. So this should apply to all the 2002-2004 Camry's.

1. What is the pad material? 2. Sis you get anti-squeal shims to put under the pads? 3. Did you use any silicone anti-squeal compound? 4. Were the rotors turned?

Usually you can tell between which 2 cylinders the leak is because they will be next to each other. So you pulled all 4 plugs? or is it a v6?

Fram G7767. His fuel filtr is a replaceable one. Crowfoot wrenches come in handy for this----Metric, regardless of vehicle location.

I just sold cars for 2 people (1-a Mercedes) and (2-an Infiniti) by listing them on www.sharpcar.com. It's free. But you need to go ahead and list the car.

There is a possibility of a CV joint problem here, especially since you say it happens more when turning one way.

Have you pulled the spark plugs yet?

This is for all 2002-2005 Camry owners: I have had several weeks to peruse the Haynes repair manual for 2002-2005 Camrys. The manual also included Solara and Avalon models. Let's just suffice it to say that my HP 7290 Scanjet and I "took a few liberties here". Anyone who needs information just ask me, and as time permits, I will step up to the plate. This is the North America manual. However, because there are Britons posting to this site occasionally, I would like to point out that there are numerous technical differences in the Toyotas sold to our very very good friends just across the big pond. And we all ought to give a righto! to Fidgits for being a great site administrator.

I am curious to see what Fyrwall says when he lets us know. (re: CV joint)

Yeah, its just like checking your engine oil--do it on level ground. Overfilling an automatic tranny will cause foaming, and all kinds of problems. So I assume it is similar for a manual tranny.

Mike, as a X-mechanic, let me thank you for posting the information that you did. There's going to be 1000 other people looking for that information. By the way, Liquid Wrench works wonders with O2 sensors that are frozen. I know, it recently happened to me with my girlfriend's Sentra. Liquid Wrench was just the trick! Also, whenever replacing an O2 sensor, because they are mounted in the exhaust, use the copper anti-siexe compound to prevent it from happening again.

Hello! Welcome. Vilkommen.

Yes---run the filter first and see how you do with it before purchasing the spacer. quote=PeteA,Oct 3 2005, 10:38 PM] Actually, it's on it's way now, any advice on the Airaid Poweraid? ←

By the way, Toyota Corolla 1992-96 automatic transmissions (though yours is an automatic) also have a 24 millimeter drain plug for the differential. 24.5 millimeters equals an inch, so a 15/16 socket works as well. In fact, the easiest way to get to the differential on the aforementioned is with a 15/16 inch open end/closed end wrench.

If you don't end up getting it, at least consider a K&N air filter. 1 or 2 horses added.
