95 camry idleing up and down repeatedly every second, any thoughts?

Hi , my 4cyl. 95 camry was running perfect and all of the sudden it does not idle right. It normally idles around 1000 rpm, but it now drops down to 600 and back to 1000 rpm every second, at one second intervals and it does this over and over again. I cant for the life of me figure out what is causing this problem. I thought it might be an air leak in the air intake hose, so I removed it and it still does it with it taken off the throttle body. There doesnt seem to be any hesitation at all when I step on the gas or floor it. The only other thing I noticed is my fuel economy seems to be suffering badly, I havent tracked it yet for MPG but I find the needle falling fast. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.

Steering Wheel Shaking at High Speed?

Hey guys, When driving around 80 mph I notice my steering wheel starts to vibrate abit and when I step on the brakes it would vibrate even worse.. Could it be that my wheels are unbalanced? Maybe a wheel alignment?? Help guys... Thanks

Reply 1 : Steering Wheel Shaking at High Speed?

If the steering wheel shakes at speed, one or more tires are out of balance or a wheel is bent. If it only shakes when braking or it gets worse when braking you kikely have a warped brake rotor. All of this information is readily availble if you would only read.

x2 have your rotors checked.

if your steering vibrates when braking its your rotors

supercharger Q

How many miles is too many for the TRD supercharger. i have two tacomas, a 2005 TRD sport with 138Kmi and the other is a 1210 TRD offroad with 7Kmi. i know 138k is too many but how long can i wait on the new truck?

Reply 1 : supercharger Q

I don't think that's really a valid question. With proper maintenance, neither motor should be too old or too new.

Reply 2 : supercharger Q

+1, very odd question!

Reply 3 : supercharger Q

it's not that odd of a question, i've been asked several times.



to be honest, you could put one on either and i bet it would be fine.



one or the other though, i would put it on the low mileage one.



my dad put his on when it was brand new (98 bodystyle though) and he has 250k or something, maybe more. (i forgot) and it's been fine.



we would put superchargers on new trucks at the dealership and sell them off the showroom floor that way too.

Wont really matter but I like to think of it this way.



The sooner you put it on the longer you have to enjoy your moneys worth!

I agree with 6 shooter. Not an odd question at all given how frequently it is asked with regard to SC installs in general across all makes and models. I also agree that it can be put on either truck, but the new one sounds better to me. Not just because it has lower mileage, but also because you will probably be keeping it for longer.

09 corolla LE keyless entry programming

does anybody know how to program an 09 remote keyless entry to the 09 corolla LE? I have the key with the 4 functions all in one (everything is on the one key)



any help is appreciated as it would save me anywhere from $40 at a local locksmith to $105 at the dealership to program it X(

Reply 1 : 09 corolla LE keyless entry programming

a search on this would show several threads. I do not believe you can do it

Reply 2 : 09 corolla LE keyless entry programming

not 100% sure but don't beleive you can do it yourself....special software and computer harness are needed to get the code from the car itself...

yea I've been reading the same thing, and from what the locksmiths tell me they need the computer too. at least the locksmith will save me $60 compared to the dealership

Reply 4 : 09 corolla LE keyless entry programming

i went to a local shop today to program my alarm and key and everything, they took out a computer to change my settings and everything so im sure we arent able to unless theres a secret procedure to do.

Reply 5 : 09 corolla LE keyless entry programming

Just wanted to share that the instructions for programing just the keyless entry can be found on the thread below, again this will program just the keyless entry on a key that is already program with the imobilizer system:



http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=367010



I didn't see the above thread until I had already programed my keyless remote built into my key but I found similar steps that worked for me on a different website but I'll share them here just in case it might help anyone else.

Quote:

To program the remote part of the key you do the following: -Open driver door only with no key inserted -insert key (don't turn) and remove 5 times ending with key out -close door and open back up 2 times, then insert key and remove it -close door and open back up 2 times, insert key and close door with key inserted -turn the key to the "on" position (not start, just on) and then all the way back to off/lock position -now press and hold BOTH the lock and unlock buttons at the same time on the new remote key for 2 seconds, release and then hold just the lock button for 1 second. -You should see the locks cycle one time to confirm programming, it will cycle 2 times if it failed -note this is timesensitive and frustrating, try to do this procedure rather quickly without pausing, you may need to try several times -turn the key to the off position to close programming mode. If you mess up any step just wait 30 seconds and start from the begining. This will activate your remote function of the key. Note that this key also has a immobilizer starter system, for the new key to start the car you must have the dealer do this with the sccan tool, there is no procedure you can do on this, it MUST be done with the techstream scan tool.

Cruise Control Instal

Hey guys



I've got a 96 corolla and it doesn't have cruise control. I've been looking around to but the parts to try and convert it. Well i've found:



- cruise control ecu

- and the actuation motor



Is there anything else i need? I know the control on the steering wheel. How about anything else? And has anyone ever tackled this job?

Reply 1 : Cruise Control Instal

dont forget pedal switches!



-SP

Reply 2 : Cruise Control Instal

there is only one pedal switch and its on the brake pedal. the cruise control actuator (near the pass. side motor mount) has a cable hooked to it and links to the gas pedal. Also you will need the cruise control ecu, but im not sure if it will hook into your existing wiriing harness

Reply 3 : Cruise Control Instal

I've been tackling this job for probably a year now or so haha but seriously its been awhile, I started a thread awhile back but I keep working at it for a few hours and then getting discouraged for a week, so I still haven't completed it. Your harness is NOT prewired for it (assuming its like mine; base Corolla without factory cruise, mines a 95 but I dont think that would effect it too much). So its a matter of removing the fender and dash, and stripping the entire harness out included related components, which is why I've been slow at it not to mention the cold weather is keeping me inside...but nevertheless I'm still determined to try. I picked up an old 93 corolla for $150 and it happened to come with cruise so I can take my time. I would suggest doing the same because it's a big job. I'm running into extra hurtles because i'm taking it from an automatic and putting it in a manual. Keeping all that in mind, i'm not trying to rain on your parade, It's just that its not a plug and play type of job, it'll take a bit of time and determination.



I'll be sure to make a thread if I ever getting it working, or find out that it's impossible. I'm still yet to know, but i've removed about 70% of the harness and im leaning towards "a pain but possible"

Reply 4 : Cruise Control Instal

Really eh. Well i've only looked quick time. But i've seen one car with cruise control. And the place the actuator motor was sitting under the hood. Is the same place i have a taped up wire under my hood so i'm assuming that's the same place. i would hock up the motor that i buy.



That leads me to my next question. Does anyone have any close up pictures of the cruise control hook up under the hood. Or can take any pictures of it?



Thanks

sure, see the windhield washer fluid reservoir, it's that black box with the cable going to it behind it

Reply 6 : Cruise Control Instal

Wow the one i saw didn't look like that. But i may be confusing it with my girl friend corolla. and it's the 8th gen. Does anyone else have a photo of there curise control. I have a 96 corolla dx. Or are they all going to be the same like that??



Thanks

Reply 7 : Cruise Control Instal

well, the black box is really jus a plastic cover. But yes, the modulator should all look like that. I haven't seen any different. Now the switch near the steering wheel had an old and new style switch. One was on the left side and looked like a turn signal switch stickin out. The newer ones is on the right and is a bit more nice.

Reply 8 : Cruise Control Instal

I think it mattered if it was factory installed or dealer/port installed. Port/Dealer used a toyota specific "universal" kit that was plug and play from ROSTRA. Came with all the connectors that just plugged right between factory harnesses. Only "hard" connection on mine was where you had to splice into ECU lead I presume for VSS. At the time I sold mine there were a couple of the same exact ones on ebay. Mine was mounted in same place but looked like below picture and tapped into vacuum line. Cable ran along firewall.

Wet Floor Pan

My 86 - 4door Corolla Hatchback has a leak somewhere??The passenger side/front carpet and floor pan are wet after driving in the rain??Anyone had the problem and solved it? Thanks. ~ dale

Reply 1 : Wet Floor Pan

that sounds like your heater core is gone.... but i would check and see if your floor pan is rusted

Reply 2 : Wet Floor Pan

Not losing any water so can`t be the heater core,and caulked and undercoated the floor pan and there is very little rust anywhere on this old Corolla,but thanks for the input. ~ dale

T4R newbie questions

Just bought a 04 T4R SR5 V6 4wd w/3rd row

What maintance is needed when you hit 100k?

There is no schedule maintance list in the owners manual.

I see a tag saying antifreeze needs changed at 100k



What is up with the second air filter behind the replacement. Does it need changed and how does it come out?



I have the engine tick on driverside when up to temp. I seen alot of info about this. I check manifold bolts and all are tight. How worried should I be of this?



Can I run with the plastic engine cover off? and does it help with heat soaking of engine?



I sold 3 cars to get into this one. When We bought are HL a year ago I knew the T4R was going to be are next vehicle.
