Question:
I have a 1996 Toyota Camry V6 with 210,000 miles. I recently changed the timing belt, drive belts, water pump, transmission filter and fluids, and tuneup with new plugs and air filter.
I had no problem before the maintenance. A week later a check engine light came on and stayed on. I took it back to the mechanic who did the tuneup. He put it on the scanner.
From 0-1200 rpm no problems and above 1800 rpm there are no problems. Between 1200 and 1800 rpm it shows a problem with 1-3-5 cylinders.
My mechanic put another new set of plugs and now a new set of spark plug wires.
The engine doesn’t seem to be running rough, but the check engine light won’t go off. Any thoughts?
Answer:
Wayne: All I did was tell my son timing belt changed and check engine light on for 1-3-5 cylinders and he said the timing belt is off one tooth on the right bank. Take it back to your mechanic and get him to reset the timing belt. The check engine light won’t go off until you do and you are loosing some performance in the mean time. Good luck.
Question: I’m not sure if this the correct place to ask the mechanic a question. I have a 2001 solara. It makes a loud squealing noise, when the car is cold is really bad. I had the water pump changed. It noise doesn’t change when i turn the wheel, but does stop some when i put it in gear. Once the car is warm(2 minutes or so) the noise stops. Could it be my power steering pump? please help. Thanks.
Answer: Sounds like you have a loose alternator belt. When you first start a car it uses power from the battery and the alternator initally has to work a little harder to charge the battery back up. If the alternator belt is loose it will squeal until the battery charges up. Could be who ever changed the water pump didn’t tighten up the belt or the belt tensioner is weak.
I have a 1991 Toyota Mr2 and im trying to change the waterpump in it can you give me some advise on how to change it out the easiest way, and what else should be changed out at this time.
