The shift lock actuator is actuated when you push on the brakes. If the brake lights do not work then it will not release the shift lock. Check the brake lights to make sure they work properly. If they do...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The fuel pump is part of a unit called the fuel module. The module also houses a float that raises and lowers with the level of the fuel. That movement is then translated into...
You need to have the fluid reservoir removed and tank cleaned out. The screen inside will get clogged and not allow good flow of fluid into the pump. Make sure the system is purged of all air and reservoir is...
Hi There, What you are describing sounds like a bad or worn out ball joint. A ball joint is designed to pivot through multiple planes. Of course, because the ball joint constantly pivots at different angles, it tends to wear...
The position of the steering wheel has no effect on starting the car. It is just a coincidence that the car doesn't after you turned the wheel to a particular position. If the starter motor is not even cranking the...
The fuel pressure should be checked to see if the new fuel pump failed. If pressure is below 40 psi when the key is turned on then replace the fuel pump and filter. When the tank is out you should...
Hello. If the manual clutch does not have very much resistance and you are having trouble shifting into First Gear and Reverse, the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder need to be replaced. These components work together to allow the...

Hello. I don't know how often you check your oil level, but I would certainly check it now. Turbo-charged engines consume a bit more oil during an oil change interval than non-turbo engines, and it's possible your oil level is...
Yes, this can happen from time to time. The entire fuel system will need to be drained and flushed, the fuel filter, which is in the fuel tank as part of the fuel pump, may need to be changed. The...
The mileage is not excessive. If the engine was maintained as required, and the car was not abused, you could get another 100,000 miles out of it if you take care of it. The price is in an acceptable range...
Hi there. Check the ECM (computer) for any active or pending codes that are contributing to the engine light being on. This will give you a location to start with for diagnosing your vehicle and why it is running sluggish....

There is no history of premature failure of Toyota OEM coils in this application. Aftermarket coils might be a different story, though. A typical cause of coil failure is faulty spark plugs that create a high resistance (or faulty wires...
Hi there. If this occurred right after an accident, then it may have damaged the wheel speed sensor. If you have the spare tire on the vehicle then this can occur also. Usually when this problem starts happening it is...
Watch my video on how to fix the suspension on your car. Jack the car up, pull on your wheels, and then you can see. Are the wheels moving? If they do--they are not supposed to move, so look inside....
Hi there. It's very possible that the source of your non-starting problem is not related to the oil pressure sensor. In most cases, when this occurs, it's caused by a faulty crankshaft position sensor or other ignition timing component. It...
Hi Gavin. Thanks for submitting your question today. In most cases, grinding while applying brakes is caused by worn brake pads (which you indicate were recently replaced), debris trapped between the pads and caliper, or using lower quality pads than...
If you have the 4 cylinder engine, the sensor is mounted in a hole in the engine block that is accessible once you remove the right wheel/tire assembly. If you have the 6 cylinder engine, to get to the sensor...
You will need to have the computer tested to see if your computer is storing a possible code, and then the code will give more information about finding the problem. You can then monitor the data to see if the...
You will need to have the computer scanned to see why the light came back on. If you continue to get codes to the mass air sensor then you should have the pinpoint test completed that will test the system...
