Starting a Toyota Camry After 9 Months! Will it Work?

- I had my car in a garage for 9 months unused. Luckily, I had it under a car cover, disconnected the battery, and topped off the gas tank before leaving it. It definitely needed servicing after I started it up, and everything worked as expected!

The drives with AK are soooo relaxing. Thanks AK I needed that.
You're welcome
You looked like a surgeon operating on your car with the rubber gloves. 😆 Good to know the car was able to start after connecting the battery cable without needing a jump start. 👍 I'm glad your car works, and you made it safely to the Toyota dealership despite the detours. Thank you for sharing this informative video, AK! 🤗
The rubber gloves did it
I'm happy Kenny your car still works after 9 months in storage and keep doing the excellent job
Thanks! I was happy too!
I'm impressed you did it yourself!
Lol I feel like Ken just went to Miami to start his car and then turned around and went right back to NYC 😂
You just never know where in the world he will be tomorrow!
😀
😂😂😂
Hey Ken!.....can't go wrong with Toyota. Mine is a gem.🇨🇦
Yup, can't go wrong!
The dishwashing gloves are hilarious
It’s like something I would do. 😂
I love Toyota cars. I had both Celica and Camry. They both lasted 13 years, each with only needing to do regular maintenance on them both.
Every GM car I've ever owned has been completely problem free, other that regular maintenance and wear items.
I concur, I drive a Corolla and I’ve driven a celica. I was eyeing the Toyota Avalon but I decided to go with the Corolla to save a bit but I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase over eight years later
They're reliable cars!
😂Those Cybertrucks remind me of Minecraft for some reason, AK.
Me too. lol
I always admire how calm you stay. I’d be so frustrated with those closed roads.
Thanks for the ride around Miami, glad your car turned on!
Much appreciated, it worked!
The ActionKid needs a car 🚗 to navigate in south beach & his Toyota proves reliable. 🐼
Definitely need more Ken DIY and maintenance videos.
Glad it started. One thing you might want to do is put in a fuel treatment or additive like Seafoam if you didn’t before you left. It will help with the gas you left in for so long.
Never put anything in your fuel!! I learned my lesson there and my engine started to sound loud... I would rather just put a full tank of gas🤙🏼
@@user-vx6uk2es2u I’ve put Seafoam or Stabil in my gas for years and have never had problem one.
I'm glad too! The old gas is already used up and replaced with fresh gas
YAY you did it. 😊👍💪💙
@Colleen, the car worked well 😃🚗, hope you are well and happy my friend 🤗
@@Daniel-yb7mx Daniel Hello my chat Son I am doing ok. I hope I find you 😇 and Mom 💙 doing well 🍰😊
@@colleen4062 Hello Colleen. GTSY 🙋🏽♂️😊
@@surfboard396 Hello hope I find you doing well. Have a good weekend. 😊🙋
Toyota makes one helluva car.. those things last almost forever
Yep, my grandmother had one that lasted so long the odometer didn’t even work anymore lol. We have no clue how many miles it had, but when the odometer stopped, it was already over 350k miles, and she had it about 6 more years after that 😂
For sure
I guess this is the same car that AK drove to NYC from Miami and from NYC to LA across the USA . Go AK !
I drive a Mazda so I can say with confidence you can't beat the Japanese when it comes to reliability, all models take some beating.
Thx for the vlog AK.
Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice. Get your oil changed and fluids looked at. You'll need a drive on the highways after resetting the battery before getting your inspection. The sensors need to cycle through. =)
I own a 2018 Toyota Corolla - bought it 3 yrs ago and I loved it! Enjoy you Toyota lol ke me!😎🇺🇸
Glad u are back in miami❤❤❤
Maybe this is your calling to start a mechanics channel😁
I would suggest that the nest time you put the gas additive in after you fill up the tank. I had a motorcycle that I let sit for 3 months and the gas went bad....they had the flush the entire system .. it is more common with motorcycles . the dealership total me to alway use the gas additive . for any extended ength of time...It help if you have a garage and it is not left outside ..Most people do nothing ...I read it is even worse with e car to let them sit fro extended period of time expectably in the extreme heat ir cold
Unhooking the battery was the right call but with a little planning any car will start and run just fine after sitting for an extended period. Tens of thousands of cars that are 60 or 70 years old, even older, sit 6 months at a time in the winter and will run just fine the next spring.
I’ve opened my hood dozens of times but always have to look for the latch! Never remember where it is ! 😮😊
Nice car bro! Love Camrys
My mom and I really wanted to see your premiere of this, but we are on west coast time. Too early. Lol you are WONDERFUL AK. Please just keep being YOU!! That’s your charm! Great video!
I had a Toyota Avalon with about 200k miles and every oil change the oil was still clear on the oil dipstick. That tells you their engineering is superior to many others!
enjoyed the driving video didn't know you had a car looks really nice.
It's a Toyota, of course it's gonna start :)
I love the look of downtown Miami. ❤❤. Always have!
That is a good thing that your car start up good. I remember one time in the pre recorded video you had car trouble and you had to call your friend the NYC Walking Show Sifat for help. He had to walk you through the steps how to get your car running again.
Now I seem to recall your having to go through the same thing happen last year :). Maybe have someone start it occasionally while you're away?
Never saw anyone wear rubber gloves to open a hood…
This was better then the last time when u had to get a battery charger
Enjoyed your video AK. I bet you don't miss the BQE!!.. LOL. :- )
Aside from a flat battery it should start with jumper leads. Is the battery stuffed well that will soon be evident. Said this before watching the video.
You really ought to have someone there start it and run it a few minutes, every month , while you’re gone. That would be my suggestion. Keeps all the fluids from coagulating, keeps parts lubricated, etc. If you do that then you won’t need to service it when you return from a voyage.
Succesful car start🎉😎I was quite surprised that how easily your car started after such a long time😀Thank you for sharing this cool driving video A K🙂👍!!!
Here we go again.....Lol!! The 1st time he tried to start it up last year, he had to call Sifat to help him. 😂 Hopefully, he will remember what Sifat told him (I'm sure he does)
Sifat has a Honda, though
@zythr9999 It doesn't matter, Actionkid didn't know how to start his vehicle at all. Honda, Toyota, or Nissan Sifat talked him through how he had to hook up the battery, etc, to get the vehicle to run so he could drive it to the Toyota dealership. And he was live on the phone talking to Sifat.
@@sswan9689 Thank you. I missed that video.
God Bless You Ken.
And God Bless Your Camry Components.
3:43 the grounding isn't tight enough, it's need to be tighten till u can't move it
Do some driving pov, around Miami or Florida in general, keep up the good work
AK always has Angels that watch over him. One of them re-tightened the ground cable for him. LOL.
Just to add to the comment before, loosen the negative terminal a bit more and with a push and twist motion, the terminal will spread open more as it slides down the battery post, it's tapered thicker at the bottom.
The thin metal things that Toyota calls battery terminals stretch over time.
wow actualy something different lol
Actually he does this routine every time he comes to Miami from a long vacation/job. 😂
I see that no one in the comments checks the tire pressure before leaving.
@@AngelDarioDeLaPuente I always keep one of those tire pressure gauges in my center console. Only during the winter and when I’ve had a slight puncture in my tire was when I needed to fill it up, but my 2016 Toyota still runs like a charm. I also have one of those Dewaltz tire inflators. Thing is a life saver when gas stations charge like $2 nowadays for 2 minutes’ worth of air..
Scotty Kilmer approved
😂
Love Scotty!
I left my 2000 Honda CRV In Storage in LA for over 3.5 years! Put in a new battery in 2018 still running like a dream after I gave it a good service.
Do you have aaa auto or some other auto club service? They would make a good investment! Just saying?👍😊
Amen
Toyotas and Subarus.....tough as nails.
😂My Cuss totally totaled a Subaru in the 90s by slamming into a tree when we were teens.
And Hondas
@@chiefjoes.wiggumindonutswe5662 I didn't say anything about crashing into trees.
Good morning everyone
what services were needed after 9 months?
Can always count on toyota reliability
next time use a trickle or a float charger. add some seafoam 90 octane ethanol free to the tank then after just an oil change and add air to the tires worst case for long long time is the brake fluid going bad the dealership can bend you over
What, you're changing the channel to be like the CZcams channel Vice Grip Garage (VGG)?😂😂
What year is ur car 🚗
Miami is huge, how many miles did you drive.
You did it
Highly unlikely, unless you re charged your battery first...using jump start kits, you may be successful....good luck AK
No way. Lol. 😂. Cant wait to see what happens
haha
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I knew you wouldn't have any problems with getting your car started. You were just worrying about it too much I guess.
He was just being cautious because it didn’t start the last time he went on an extended trip, and this time he was gone was even longer. But Toyotas are tough as nails.
@@ninja_tony Exactly so no need for worry.
Go electric. Gasoline is pollution.
