Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Auto Trans Erratic - Engine Stalls After About 10 Minutes Of Driving


May 13, 2014

I'm experiencing erratic shifting ending in a stall after about 10 minutes of driving. The trans seems like its searching for the right speed then the engine stalls. I've heard about air in the trans fluid, which is caused by fluid overfill and I've heard about MAF sensor which I replaced to no benefit. Right now I'm going to drain the pan, install a filter and refill accurately, especially as I have the pan off?

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Toyota Echo Motor Start To Idle Really High For A Couple Of Minutes

I've always find solution to solve my little issues with my Toyota Echo 2004 Hatchback. Since last summer, my car seems to have a lot of problems to idle well with the fine rpm. Here are all the events :

-it all started last summer, when the motor would start to idle really high for a couple of minutes, before getting back to normal. When this happened, a p011 check engine would light up. I switched to synthetic oil, and it greatly reduce the number of time this happen, but it didn't solve it entirely. It usually happens when the motor is warm, but still not hot.

-Only once, during a long ride, I got a check engine. When I left the highway, my motor wouldn't stop idling high. stop/start the motor wouldn't change anything. I checked the check engine codes, if I remember well : p011, p016 and misfire. With a friend, we checked the crankshaft sensor, and it was really dirty, so we washed it, and it solved the problem! A few days after, I also change my spark plug because they were starting to be old.

-A few weeks ago, I started my car and it was idling high as usual to heat up faster (it is winter now). But then, the rpm suddenly drop really quickly. The rpm was really low for may be 2 seconds, and it nearly chokes, but just before it went up back to normal. Then low/high/low/high until the motor was hot. No check engine. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes, and when I reconnected it, the problem was solve. I also checked the air filter, but it wasn't dirty.

-Then, sometimes when I start my car, idling is fine but suddenly at a red light the motor start to run really low with a lot of vibrations and a bad smell. Stop and restart the motor solve the problem! But only until the next red light, or until the motor is warm enough. Still no check engine.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Toyota Echo 2002 Noise When Driving In Reverse

I have an automatic 2002 Echo. Like 2 or 3 days ago I started hearing a noise when I drive in reverse. Is a mix of friction and vibration and it gets louder the faster I drive, only in reverse. I read that this could be the symptom of a bad engine mount but I haven't been able to pinpoint it.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Tick For A While That Goes With Engine Revs

Back in September '12, I was on the freeway and merging quickly into the fastlane/passing lane on the freeway-- third gear, near 80mph. Going for fourth gear was a brief misshift into second that apparently happens often with cars with the 1NZ-FE.

Because of that over-rev, I've since had an annoying tick that goes with the engine revs. It's been going strong regardless for over 10,000 miles, but it's frustrating nonetheless. Compression seems fine on all cylinders, and according to a shop I'm not primed to believe, the shims for the valves are fine and these engines "always sound like that." My video begs to differ.

For those who've maybe had the same sound, what's your take? I've heard of stretched timing chains/chain slack, water pump, clutch issues, etc., but want to narrow it down.

You get the contrast here, and toward the end I nearly over-lap the shots to hear them closer together. [URL] ....

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Check Engine Light Came On

The check engine light has been going on and off for a couple of months. I took it in to be looked at and the mechanic said they couldn't get a code, couldn't get a "good read" on what was wrong. They said I could take the car back (but they couldn't give me an inspection sticker) and drive it for a couple of days and if the light comes on, take it back to them. If the light doesn't come on after a few days, they will give me the sticker. I can't believe my car is going to act any differently than it has for the last few months -- light comes on sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. Shouldn't the mechanic be able to tell what's wrong.

have a 2005 Scion with about 60,000 miles.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2000 Echo Squealing While Driving Or In 2nd Gear And When Brake Pedal Pressed

The front end of my Toyota Echo has been squealing but only when it's either in drive or in 2nd gear and only when the brake pedal is pressed, once I release the brake pedal it only squeals for a few seconds then once the car moves faster than 5 miles an hour it goes away.. I completely replaced the suspension late last year. I just replaced the belt a few minutes ago and it still does this. I noticed that when the car is off and in park, when I shake the car forward and backward I hear a slight squeal coming from the front. I think it might be the engine mounts and or the transmission mount. What could it be?

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2008 Toyota Check Engine Light Comes On - No Oil Cap

In January I had taken my car in for an oil change. About a Month later my check engine light comes on. I pull over and there is no oil cap. Why the light hadn't come on before then is beyond me. I also park on grass so didnt notice it. I took it to advanced auto to see what the code for the light was and it said that the engine was running lean. Is this connected? and if so how? I am driving a 2008 Toyota Yaris Hatchback

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Engine On 2001 Echo Stalled When AC Tried To Engage

Earlier today, while waiting at a red light, the engine on my 2001 Echo stalled. It has automatic transmission, so it wasn't me manhandling the clutch...

I started the engine, and as soon as the A/C tried to engage, it stalled again. I turned the A/C off, restarted the car and moved on.

When I got home I tested again, and the engine stalls when I try to turn on the A/C. If the car is moving when I push the A/C button the engine coughs and the car buckles.

It sounds like the compressor is seized. How common is this? I've never had this happen before in any car.

It's a 2001 Echo with 205,000 miles (trouble free I might add, other than consumables I never had to fix anything).

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2000 Engine Bog Down, Loose Power And Skip

I am looking to troubleshoot the problem I am having with my 2000 Toyota Echo Automatic with 253,000 Kms

Engine will at times bog down, loose power and skip, usually giving it more gas will straighten it out. Car is now stalling after driving and stopping unless you rev the rpms higher. The car will start in my driveway and idle with no problems however sometimes it will skip after a few minutes.

Codes I keep getting is P0171 Fuel too lean bank 1 and P0301 cylinder 1 misfire (for cylinder 3 before we cleared the codes)

Here is what I have done as I am lucky enough to have a 2000 Echo so we could switch some parts for testing:

Switched the coils, spark plugs and MAF sensor (didn't look dirty) What concerns us is when you unplug coil 1 from the engine there is no change in the idle (as there is a difference when unplugging the other coils)

We have checked for vacuum leaks but cannot find any.

Should also mention the engine is not overheating or burning oil.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2007 - Check Engine Light Comes On With P0011 Code

I have a 2007 Yaris, 180,000 miles, The check engine light comes on. With a P0011 code. I know that that could mean either:

blocked oil passage
Mechanical timing fault
Camshaft position a timing over advance
Failed OCV
Or VVT controller assembly fault

Since it's been really cold out I figured maybe it was a blocked oil passage, but after an oil change and quick check - I no longer think that's the problem.

The car runs great and it doesn't seem anything is wrong at all ...

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: Echo 2003 - Check Engine Light But No Code

Recently changed a front pipe manifold on my Echo 2003 4doors Five spd.

Noise I was reporting ealier thread seems to have subsided somehow but I did not hit the high road again, since the repair.

But I have this check engine light that went off 3 days ago and stays on.

Tried 4 times to read the code of OBd II reader and it pulls nothing. As if everything was normal.

I changed the batteries but it acts like it does regularly and it shows like there is no code to pull out.

Could that be a Ghostly Check Engine. It is still on at the moment meaning every time I drive the car.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2001 Echo Engine Light Came On / Code P1349

My great 2001 Echo is acting up for the first time in 11yrs!.. This weekend I decided to have my mechanic change the manual transmission fluid and do a general inspection of the vehicle. He found nothing wrong. I decided that before embarking on a long trip, that I would change the oil/filter, flush the radiator and put new antifreeze, change the airfilter, replace the alternator belt, added a small bottle of Lucas complete fuel system and a new battery.

I was proud of my DIY performance except that the next day the engine light came on! I took it to AutoZone where I purchase all the supplies and battery and they came up with CODE P1349 which I researched and found out about VVT(variable valve timing) malfunction. Some of the reasons for this malfunction are: low fuel pressure due to clogged or bad injectors..... Fuel pump regulator....camshaft malfunction or ECU (engine control unit) problem.

1.This morning the light was off then ten or fifteen minutes later it went on and at the same time the iddle got much faster for about two or three minutes, (in other words the engine was running faster even when I took my foot off the accelerator) and then came back to normal.

2. Later on the light was off again followed by the same sequence of events. Then at one point later I could tell that the the engine was running fast again for a couple of minutes.
