Hi, some days ago, the idle speed started being unstable. I noticed this when braking at a traffic light after driving at high speed and also when turning the engine off and starting it again; it starts with around 500 rpm and it is only after some minutes that it normalizes. The other problem is that there is a terrible smell coming from the exhaust, and also that, when changing to first gear, a strange noise is heard. It seems to be a clutch or bearing sound. Please help me. Thanks.
Well, I finally discovered that the noise is coming from the thrust bearing and, talking about the idle speed unstable, I cleaned the air flow meter, throttle body and oxygen sensor.
My vehicle suddenly stalls when driving. I've already changed the fuel pump, temperature sensor, catalytic converter, crankshaft and camshaft sensor and the oxygen sensor that is right after the catalytic converter, but still it starts, works perfectly at idle speed and, when I start driving it, it loses strenght and stalls. Does anyone know what it might be?
I have a yaris 2012 model and we are the same problem i also change all sensors including maf sensor and i change also the fuel pump but still the problem not solve. Any one can help me?
I have a Toyota Yaris 2007 model and it stalled when stopped at lights and when I would drive slowly through traffic. 4 mechanics could not locate the problem. I went to black label automotive in Nerang and they managed to find the problem straight away. They replaced the oxygen sensor. There have been no problems since :)
We are replacing an o2 rear sensor to see if it solves the problem. If not it may be the catalytic converter. I hope the sensor fixes it. Hate to think about buying a converter when we only paid 5000 for the car
