Well, NO cel
But my car kinda runs like poop. defiantly noticeable at 4000rpm and up under powered and sounds and feels rough. (SUBARU MUCH?)


No cel I have the battery unplugged to see if it changes anything
Will go to Toyota with it if nothing fixes itself.

Mods: engine mount, and secondary cat and baffle removed.

there's no noticeable smoke from behind,

Any ideas?

 

Someone else here did that. I think it happens when you float your lifters. Sometimes it seems like it's covered under warranty but you definitely need to take it in, it won't fix itself. Search the forum, someone just recently did this

 

Ya thanks im searching around now. :/

gotta get a short throw made up so I don't do this again!

Ill try to take it in as soon as I can, holiday on Monday.

 

Here you go, found the thread. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=223628

 

Get the twm short throw, plus the bushings and the supertek or TRD short shifter. Makes for super short shifts. Way tighter.

 

Yes, buddy was gonna make a setup for me aswell. not produce them because theres other cheap options to go with.

But ya I was reading that thread, kinda taken some stress away knowing it could be something little.
Ill let you know what the dealer says when I get it in!

 

Yeah that's me. But this was because of an overrev. I don't think just fiddling with the exhaust would do this.

Wait, what? You actually over-revved it ? According to OP it was just deleting 2nd cat and motor mount. Oh well I'm with you on this. I was sad until they fixed it. Took a good month for them to just find the issue.

just hope they fix it quickly not keep my car forever to only tell me im ____ out of luck. Ill try every dealer, one here has a bad REP

 

Not like I was ____ing around with the car. Just a ____ ___ gear box grrrr. Worse then my old beat up Sentra I sware. Lol

Okay got car back from dealer. They blamed it on modified exhaust hitting rack causing the knock sensor to retard engine. Good theory. I put the car on hoist. No way it hits! I even tightened it up higher no change. 74$ they charged me!!!

Dude, if all it's costing is $80 and you don't have to buy a new engine, I would be a happy camper.

 

80 to tell me my car is fine and its exhaust hitting?
My car is still broken. Runs horrible they tell me its fine and say my exhaust is hitting and its not at all. They winged it. So I'm not a happy camper I can't travel on my long weekend.

 

here's an idea,

put the original catback exhaust back, and see if the noise will go away. if same issue occur, bring it to the dealer have them take a look at it. this way they won't blame it on the exhaust.

 

That has to be the dumbest ____ I have heard a dealer say yet. If a knock sensor picks up an exhaust hitting a steering rack or anything other part of the car, Toyota has some re-engineering to do then.

P.S. Go to a different dealer, from the looks of it this current dealers service reps need a 3rd grade English class.

 

Oh my bad, I thought they fixed the valves and blamed it on the exhaust

 

I wonder who's retarded... Your engine timing or them?
