Burnt oil SolvedSolved

Toyota Corolla 2001  280000 miles
Hi, I am having problems with the Corolla 1.8 engine. I park my car with the rear end facing a wall and, every morning when I start the engine, there is a black stain in the wall. It seems as though burnt oil is coming out of the exhaust. There is also black fume when I speed the car up, and black ashes can be found in the exhaust. When I change the oil I leave it at its corresponding level but, after 15 days, almost half a liter is consumed. Only when I drive along a downhill road, it is white fume that comes out of the exhaust. Thanks to anyone that can give me a hand.

It is the valves' rubbers that are worn. You should change them as well as the spark plugs lid rubbers and your problem should be solved.

Your problem certainly is due to the valves' rubbers. Change them but be careful the place you choose for this to be done. I tell you this because of my personal experience. Good luck.
Martha from United States 11 years ago
Thank you very much for your comments. I changed the rubbers as you said and problem solved. It is not burning oil now and the exhaust is clean. Thank you buddies!

There are a few things that could be causing the issue with your Toyota Corolla not shifting gears properly. Some potential causes could include:

A faulty shift solenoid: Shift solenoids control the flow of transmission fluid, which is necessary for proper gear shifting. If the solenoid is faulty or stuck, it could cause shifting issues.
A damaged or worn clutch: If the clutch is worn or damaged, it may not be able to engage and disengage properly, which can cause shifting issues.
A transmission control module (TCM) issue: The TCM is the computer that controls the transmission and gear shifting. If it is malfunctioning, it could cause shifting issues.
Transmission fluid level or quality: If the transmission fluid is low or contaminated, it can cause shifting issues.
It's worth noting that these are just a few potential causes, and there could be other issues at play as well.

. . . The better way is to scan your car, its the quickest way too, because it could be a lot of things, it can be the crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, the anti thief system, short circuit, cut cable or other think, if the check engine light is on, you can scan without a problem, but if is not that could be more serious thing because the ecm computer isnt working because doesnt getting any electrical current for a reason or the worst think is that have some burnt component, can buy a little scan device, those are cheap in amazon or ebay, no more than $15.00 us dlls

Back to basics three things your engine needs is fuel, spark and air. Spark check voltage st plugs or injectors. Air ristritions or leaks or loss of vacuum mass air flow sensor or restricted exhaust eg. Plugged catalytic converter. Fuel put gauge on fue rail and check pressure.

Gear Shifting with major Jerk

Toyota Corolla 2018 Sedan, Automatic, GLI 245560 miles
My Corolla GLI 4 Speed Auto 2018 model is now 25560 kms driven. Since last year i’m facing the problem in it’s gear on high RPMs. Car runs smoothly in city travel where RPMs are relatively low but when on Highways, the car jerks very badly when the gear shifts to low gear on acceleration.

I’ve tried changing gear oil and gear oil filter and also checked if the mountings are ok. What further could be done to resolve this issue?

Screen Notification

Toyota Corolla 2019 Hatchback 65000 miles
My car has been showing a pop-up message that states that my engine needs maintenance. The message appears every 3 to 5 minutes. I have checked it three times with three different auto shops and they cannot find what is the problem to it. We have tried to clear the message, but it keeps coming back. it is not the oil change because it is a different message and I get those on time always. Please someone help.

im no expert but it could be something like a bad knock sensor or usually in corollas the camshaft position sensors tend to act up causing check engine lights. soo get these two sensors checked.

Vibration on reverse gear

Toyota Corolla 2005 Sedan, auto, 1.8l 100000 miles
Engine vibrates on reverse gear, all engine mounts are normal and serviced there is no problem with the engine mounts, all spark plugs, coils and fuel injectors are cleaned but I still have the same problem. Is it possible that it can be a wiring or electric issue that my car shakes and vibrates when I put on reverse gear?

Were you able to repair it? I’m having problems not only with the P0741 code, but apparently there’s also an issue with the transmission. When I put it in D or R, it gives a strong jolt. Also, the second gear shifts badly, and lately it won’t reach 100 km/h at 2,000 RPM.

No Spark But Still Turning Over Just Not Firing up

Toyota Corolla 1993 AE93 Corolla CSI  200000 miles
Hey I have a AE93 corolla I've recently done a service to it that includes, (oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, dropping the oil flushing the old oil out and refilling it with new oil, Cleaning the throttle body with Carby clean) once I did all that I went for a night drive and as i was coming back home the car made a small thud noise then there was no response to the accelerator as I lost speed, I got it back home and went to diagnose the problem but no luck the car still is turning over just no spark I've pulled the rocket cover to see if it just stripped a gear but the distributor is strait connected to the cam shaft were unsure on what it could be were expecting it to be the coil in the distributor unless you guys know anything else it could be, cheers
