Intermittant engine management light.

Toyota Corolla 2002 Corolla 46000 miles
Hi, my engine management light comes on whilst driving maybe once a week. Then goes off after I restart car. I have had the camshaft sensor replaced as this is what the fault code was signalling. However, the light still comes on but not so often as before. I have had many different diagnosis from garages /mechanics (without seeing the car). I have been advised to get the serpentine belt changed, timing chain slipping, wiring fault or sensor is misplaced. Can anyone shed any light without me having to spend a fortune please? It is a vvt-i petrol engine. Thank you

Engine running roughly, loss of oul

Toyota Corolla 2003 Hatchback automatic  290 miles
Loss of oil but no leaks on motor or underneath the car, no smoke either

Drove one night and was perfect, next day drove 5km and it was almost bunny hopping and sounded like a VW. Engine lights or oil lights have not come on at all, and i constantly check after owning a piece of crap Holden. Find it strangefine one day screwed the next. Any suggestions? ???

The car acts like it's misfiring

Toyota Corolla 1999 4cylinder 190000 miles
When I've been driving the car for about 20 to 40 minutes it flickers off and on like a m8sfire. The actual engine light will blink on. No codes shown accept bad cadalic converter. That was on at one time and I replace the ignition coils all wires and plugs. It fixed the problem then. There is also a flicking sound under the dashboard like a relay going off and on

Electrical issue

Toyota Corolla 2007 S 163000 miles
As I was driving to work yesterday my car did a sort of "kick jump" and all the electrical accessories went out except interior light. No windows, no wipers, no temperature control, locks onlyneork manually. No dashboard at all except open door, seat belt, and check engine light. Only thing that works is the interior light and emergency lights. Furthermore in order to shift out of Park I have to use the emergency shift override button. Battery is fine, car still runs but no electrical accessories. I checked all the fuses and none are blown. I'm stumped on what the issue may be
