My 2004 Toyota [Camry](/topics-camry/) has about 280,000 miles on it. I recently was running low on oil but it was not quite do for an oil change. so I put in a couple quarts of oil and some [engine](/topics-engine-toyota/) cleaner In it thinking that by the time the engine cleaner circulated it would B time for an oil change. I have never used the engine cleaner before. After a few days and maintenance light came on. The car stalled a few times while sitting at a light. And then today while I was driving it it made one loud pop. What should I be watching for? Mechanic's Assistant: Where exactly do you think the noise is coming from? And how long has this been going on? I'm guessing the engine. The loud pop is only happened this time Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Camry yourself? What have you tried so far? Nothing it just happened

The engine cleaner has been in there about a week and my daughter is using the car and she is the one that told me that it made the loud pop. Yes the engine has been running.No thank you

Ok. If the "pop" is not currently, happening, that will be hard to assist on. However, if the "service engine soon" lamp is on, we will need to know what fault codes are causing it to illuminate. Most parts stores will pull the fault codes for free. Hope this helps, thank you.

Thank you
