I've had several codes coming up on my 2003 Corolla. Engine running lean, Multiple Cylinder Misfire, Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1... All related. The amount of time I wasted watching other videos about is is REDICULOUS. Too many who can't speak the language going over every irrelevant God damn detail making it so painful to get through. Daniel, this 1 video nailed them all. To add, you speak clear English. Had I watched this one first I would have saved myself a lot of time and irritation. Keep up the good work!
Try my temp fix it works till you get to replace the gaskets. Now you should always doubt all that nonse regarding artificial intelligence. No such thing. It still took a human to figure all this out. Once you see cylinder 1 intake you will know why it leaks in that area.
Thanks for this video! I just recently acquired a 2007 Toyota Corolla S model with a 125K on the meter. I got it to replace my 06 Corolla that was totaled in an accident . that one had 243K on the meter. Never had any problems like this but now I know to keep an eye out for it. so far other than dirty transmission fluid, this car seems to be in excellent condition for a 10 year old car.
Excellent video, thank you. I just replaced the intake gasket, injectors, coils, plugs & valve cover gasket yesterday on my 08 that has 250k miles. Runs perfectly smoothly now and more importantly cleared the lean code that recently cropped up. These Corollas aren't sexy but they run FOREVER if you take care of them. I was confused why coolant was routed to the throttle body but your video tipped me off. Thanks again
Great detailed video. These codes were my exact codes. This repair is exactly what it needed. Great idea removing the whole throttle body...saved having coolant all over my garage. My advice, when you order the gasket, order the throttle body gasket as well. Mine peeled a bit when I removed the throttle body...save yourself the extra trip. GREAT VIDEO
Mine peeled also, but I didn’t think much of it, im still getting misfire on cylinders 1&4 and lean code p0171. Think it could be the pealed gasket on throttle body?
Hello, you did a good job except you should never bend the air intake hose. Just unscrew the 2 bolts of the air intake body and turn it over 90 degrees, now is safe and out of the way. Toyota orange gasket part #17171-22060 and throttle body gasket part #22710D051. Hope this helps someone.
Got P0133 last winter and this winter as well: "Oxygen Sensor Slow Response (Bank 1, Sensor 1)". Both MOT inspector and mechanic said it's the Oxygen sensor. First thing that google gave me was a service bulletin stating it's the gasket if the issue happens in subfreezing temp (which is the way it's behaving so far). Already ordered the gasket and will DIY this like in your video. Thanks for showing us how it's done without needing to mess up with the coolant lines (like it's shown in other youtube videos). Thanks!
Many people automatically assume that when the output from an O2 sensor is incorrect that the O2 sensor itself must be the cause. What they don't realize is that the mixture control function is done by a closed feedback loop. This means that a problem anywhere in the entire control loop can cause an incorrect output from the O2 sensor. For example if you have an air leak in the intake system the O2 sensor will show a lean signal. Then if you have a stuck fuel injector the O2 sensor will show a rich signal. But in both cases the O2 sensor is good and its delivering the correct output signal for what's actually happening inside the engine while the real problem is located elsewhere.
@@saheedakorede5749 My failure was when the car was idle, it was not idling at the correct rpm because the mixture was a little lean and the computer raised the rpm to compensate
I like this video, useful for me and for others. Direct and well explained also, that TB taking our is a great idea to prevent those coolant for leaking ad prevent air in the system as well.
My 2007 did the same thing. I replaced the gasket and the Engine light didn't come back on for about a year and a half. The code came back so I replaced the gasket again, but this time the code would not go away. This time it was the intake manifold itself. It cracked at the heat weld seams. I cleaned it really good and took black silicone gasket sealant and squeezed it in every seam. 4 years later and it runs fine. Just an FYI. Hope that helps.
My 2000 Corolla CE (1.8 L engine) had this problem and plugs, coils, injectors and cleaning of the IAC and throttle body did not resolve the problem. But the valve cover gasket had been replaced after an oil leak surfaced at a local garage (car is 20 years old with 277K miles). It made sense the intake manifold gasket would also be old and starting to leak when this showed up. Replacement was simple (local mobile mechanic) and problem went away!
Thank you man for this video. God bless you. I have so much trouble with 2000 Toyota corolla . It runs lean 171 error code. This morning driving early to work I hear some "" gun sounds "" from the exhaust. Seeing your video I was happy. Hopefully it will help me fix my only transportation.
That little vacuum leak was a real gas saver. But after this last winter turned into a drivability problem. Plugs came out at exactly as he says - .085 to .090" gap, and Clean ! Some loose manifold nuts as well. Went with the upgraded gasket and she drives like a dream. Need to put a rev limiter on it though !
Mr. Daniel this video was very outstanding great job best video I've seen I have a 2007 Corolla S automatic and it high revs right off the bat and stays at about 2000 RPMs it will idle at stop lights like it wants to give out sometimes it feels like a misfire though the car will rattle noticeably but im for certain that this is the problem because I've had the same mishap a numerous amount of times, but great camera edits, great how to do, great step by step structured process as far as how you did it hands on, please make more videos Man Ive gone through so many but they don't do them as thorough as you do definitely worth a like And subscribe 👍
Just a heads up. Be careful with the brake cleaner and plastic intakes. I have seen them in the shop backfire up through the intake when checking for intake leaks and bust the intake assy. I do enjoy watching the videos they are very informative.
I have a 2006 Matrix with 125k. Runs perfect. However, it's great to have your.video as this is a common problem. I've also heard of spraying water to see if engine stumbles.
Nice Job, one small critique, I am not confident of my ability to keep something from dropping down the intake by accident, so I would have waited to install spark plugs until after I had the manifold back on, or at the very least stuffed rags in the holes to keep me from having to remove the head because I screwed up!
Hey Daniel, I know you've been at this longer than I have, but I wouldn't trust those little drivers like you used most of the video to put manifolds back on securely. I used one when I had to take my exhaust manifold off on my truck and when I used it to tighten it back down, the manifold leaked like mad. When I went back over by hand, where the driver stopped wasn't even tight. It was a snap on like yours and still did that.
I definitely going to try it I have a multiple misfire cilynder 1-2-3-4 I replace the coils and spark plugs and still have the same codes P0300-P0301-02-03-04 thank for this video
Interesting, I'm trying to chase down similar error in my 2000 Corolla, I get misfire and was told to review coil packs and injectors. Coil packs and all plugs are new. Upon inspection, coil packs look good, no il and no tears. One plug however looked worn after less than 25k miles. I never thought t review intake gasket - that causes lean running that could damage a plug? Also loss of power (no climbing power)? Very awesome.
Had this problem too. The only problem is you installed the same nitrile gasket which will fail again. You need to install the updated orange silicone intake gasket from Toyota that fixes the problem permanently.
Got same happening to my 2004 Corolla, have not done this yet, but after chasing the misfiring codes found engine running way too lean; this is an overhauled engine job with standard sizes pistons and rings; head was done by a shop it was shaved minimally that toyota recommends not to do so, I installed cheap injectors from Amazon for the sake of refreshing the injectors not because it really needed, well, by second tank of gas after using a lucas cleaner for the fuel system the codes started; this morning I replaced the injectors went back to the OEMs after cleaning them; got no codes now but the ECM needs to go through driving cycle again for 50 to 100 miles and see if codes comes back; I have not done anything significant so I expect them to come back. That intake and throttle were cleaned really good and have new gaskets. I do have a vacuum gauge but I just don't know where to connect it to make the test and cant find it here either. A compression test at operating temperature gives me way under specs; I am around 131 and holds steady for few min, where manual reads should be normal 189, minimum 145. Head was torqued to specs very carefully and what I think is the shop that did the head may have screw me on the valve job; I can not guarantee any mechanic work on the car done by others; I am NOT a certified mechanic by a long shot and did this engine on my own over the course of the years with whatever pieces of information I can get here, in the manual and asking mechanics who are willing to share; very difficult with zillion of questions at every turn and not everything is easy and readily available online. I am thinking that I may have a vacuum leak somewhere but have yet to find it; that is a far cry from having bad coils which I have 8 of them and bad spark plugs, unless these misfiring destroyed those parts, I had also issues with the VVTi solenoid but added half quarter of oil and has not shown much; weird as Toyota burns oil for fun even new oil as the oil was filled to spec but seems it went through half quarter in the first 100 miles triggering the P0010 code; so besides that code lately are chasing these P0300, with P0351-4 and here we are. Dealer service manager told me my timing may be way to retarded causing the issues, or because head was shaved threw out the timing hence misfiring but it may be as simple as vacuum leak done by a poor job on the head that can't see or my choice of crappy Chinese injectors which I corrected this morning; I can't wait for 100 miles to roll!
just a quick question about the intake ports on the engine block. the three rectangular ports between the intake ports, what are they meant for as i would like to know what their purpose is .. cheers :)
Hi Dan im new to your channel and liked it do straight forward with the problem, no unnecessary explanation about each step and fast explanation. I have 09 corolla 1.8 with code p0301 and I changed spark plugs and still have code with miss fire in 1piston can it be same as this video, bad intake gasket? Hope you can help thanks.
Haven't had to do that on my 05 yet but it only has 96k on it. Belt tensioner has been replaced once under warranty and again by my with a upgraded one though
99 lexus es300 throws lean bank one, cylinder 2,4,6 misfire. cleaned mass airflow already, replaced spark plugs, what do i do now misfires are random i can tell when light flahses
I had a strange occurrence today was driving and got bad hesitation(barely made it back home)I read obd it said misfire cylinder 3(i figure coil)so to make sure I switched 2 and 3 coils,erased codes and the problem went away?Bad connection maybe?I'm stumped and i have children and dont wanna get stranded if it decides to do it again.What would u reccomend?
Need your opinion. Have P0171 on a ‘06 Corolla and misfires in banks 1-4. I changed out the spark plugs literally 4 months ago, so I have completed the following: cleaned MAF sensor and throttle body. Put in new intake manifold gasket. Same codes are throwing. Do you think I could have bought a bad batch of plugs? What would YOU do in this situation because I am stuck. Thanks.
JaWe and that's where I realized while editing this video, I should have clarified exactly why I used a light impact while installing the spark plugs. If you look closely, you'll notice I start them by hand and ensure a few threads have seated. Then to save time, I run them down the rest of the way with a 1/4" impact before giving them one final tightening with a 3/8" ratchet. But you are correct, you would NEVER want to install spark plugs only using an impact. Imagine the headache if one cross-threaded....
Yep, I've cross-threaded one before in a motorcycle (aluminum will happily cross-thread as I'm sure you know). No fun. You're a mechanic so I figured you have a well-calibrated feel for what you can get away with - I just wanted to highlight it so DIY mechs who watch this aren't running out and blasting their plugs in with their 1/2" Milwaukees. :P
Michael Lux There are a few reasons behind the removal of those videos. Here's the situation, recently I was promoted to shop supervisor. Certain videos I had taken at work went viral to the point of my coworkers seeing them online. Now that I am managing these people, it's my responsibility to ensure I'm setting the right example. While there was nothing wrong with the videos themselves, taking videos at the job site or on company time is not good leadership practice. Because I am liable for the content I post on this channel, I decided to remove any videos taken at my workplace. It was not an easy choice, believe me. But I have to do what is right for my career and for the company. I'm doing my best to keep my subscribers entertained and informed, and I greatly appreciate the understanding from everyone.

I need help with my cylinder 3 misfire and lean Fuel code, my mechanic replaced coil packs and plugs and still causing missfire in number 3. Would I have a pontiac vibe with similar engine. I wonder if this is the issue.
Cody Arndt the vibe and matrix are practically the same car. I would recommend giving this a shot. I did it myself in less than an hour and the gasket cost me $11. Couldn’t hurt
Would this cause a car to not drive? Car has bad misfire when I put it in reverse or drive I have to hold throttle down almost all the way to get it to move at all.
Had I known this I would have fixed my old 2000 Ford Explorer all by myself. (Don't get me started on that it was a Ford and that was the real problem, that car was amazing).
Zachary Bornhoft Yeah fords are great my grandfather loves them and I'm going to trust his judgement regarding solid engineering given he was part of the team that engineered the engines for the 747 amongst other aircraft lol.
Super. , Excellent ， I got code PO171, PO300x PO 301,2,3,4 and po133 together on my 2004 Matrix , I replaced MAF sensor, air filter, four spark plugs and two coils , and PVC hose and breathe hose, but nothing changed ， car shaking a lot on idle , should replace of gasket kill the problem?
I have a 2003 Matrix. I just sprayed the car with brake cleaner before this video and have the same issue. I ordered the upgraded gaskets Thanks Daniel for the quick fix. Thanks @ trumpetpatrick for part number 17171-22060. Part arrives tomorrow keep you posted. 🙏👌
The step by step on the intake gasket replacement is great, but why do I cringe everytime I see you use that drill driver to tighten those new spark plugs 🤣
Exactly..I used one on my very first car I owned and snapped it in half lol.... was very upset in my yard trying to get it out with a flat head in the dark lol.
Need help - I got 2013 Corolla LE with 194k KM, changed oil regularly. When I bought at 151k KM, it used to give me 600KM for full 40L Tank. It gradually decreased to only 450KM for full tank. Also sometimes I smell gas or rotten egg smell while driving. No codes or error comes up. Any advice?
Sir!!! I have toyota MRS 2000 with 1zz engine, my engine light turns on after 10-15mins idle/driving, I'm also experiencing misfire in my muffler, I have the same error code P0171, what should I do? I don't trust the mechanic here, he's just also searching in internet how to fix P0171, I'm just afraid of spending money to replace every parts that might cause P0171.
DanielJaegerFilms my mom got a '05 Vibe. Has that same code. Replaced the intake gasket, code came back within a few months. Researched online, there's TSB on the engine computers cause of that lean code. I gotta do more in depth diagnosis on it before I go and replace the computer. I'm hoping, it's the gasket. Maybe I messed up installing it or something.
DanielJaegerFilms like I said in my previous post I haven't had any problems with my Corolla so far. But thanks for alerting me to this so I know to keep an eye out for it. the Corolla you were working on only has 50k more miles than my current Corolla does.
I had all 4 cylinders misfire codes after having a brand new transmission replaced no air leaks 2003 Toyota matrix automatic. I'm thinking it's my flexplate that's worn out. 258,000 miles
Had this same issue with my moms 03 corolla. replaced the intake gasket, shortly after I had a lean code again. Could never figure it out, did smoke test, fuel pressure test, etc.. I eventually changed the injectors by throwing parts at it cuz they were cheap and it fixed it. The car doesn't even have a fuel filter......
Hello Daniel, Thanks for the video. My situation is a little different. 2007 Corolla, same engine. Just turned 30k. (Purchased from Elderly women, didn't drive much) Showroom cond., no codes, runs great..except: Were feeling an occasional "hiccup" mainly when 1st starting for the day. You may only feel it 1 or 4 times during a 5 mile drive. -Due to age , we did put oem plugs in -cleaned maf sensor with crc spray -cleaned throttle body and blade -checked for vacuum leaks -ran a bottle of gumout (with p.e.a.) in last tank full Can you think of anything else I could try? I know this engine is one of the best built and should not be doing this as infrequent as it is. Thanks Tom
You should give us ball park prices for these fixes you do. I know the customer has some privacy but at the same time they are complete strangers to us so they do have privacy
Great video I test mine the same way and guess what intake leak at cylinder 1, as a temporarily fix I cleaned the area of the leak started the engine and then I Brushed on engine oil over the leaky area and the vacuum sucked in the oil and sealed the leak. It's been a week now and no codes. If I get another code I may brush on gear oil this may last longer and I will replace the gasket when the weather gets warmer. Very cold her in Toronto Feb/18 2020. The gaskets are cheap always go with Toyota or Fel-Pro bet they will be very close to same price
Sorry I meant to say Jan/18 thinking of my birthday in Feb. But the fix the temp fix works great, once you see cylinder 1 and you will know why it leakes in that spot
I wish u could come to Trinidad and check my car I have dis same engine I get a vibration on a red light or a stop on d left side. and I have a misfire to and dem mechanic don't know shit.
Melody Today's Intake Manifolds Have Improved Plastic Composites And Designs In this overhead view of an original factory Ford 4.6-liter plastic intake manifold (left) and an improved replacement (right), it's easy to see how the improved one features fore-aft structural reinforcements, aluminum structural support in critical areas, better silicone seals, and strengthening around fitment areas. Look for as many of these features as possible when purchasing a replacement plastic intake manifold. More and more automakers are switching to plastic intake manifolds. After decades of testing and studying common failure points, optimum blends of plastic with 35% fiberglass or related glass elements have been perfected to enhance both strength and elasticity. Today's plastic intake manifolds are more than just mere plastic. Greater strength from engineered compounds resists cracks under pressure where it's most needed, and greater elasticity yields the ability to stretch and snap back - preventing permanent warpage which causes leaks. Failure rates of quality plastic intake manifolds manufactured in recent years have dropped significantly, and high reliability over long-term use makes them a smart purchase. Thicker construction in critical areas prevents erosion from dirty coolant, and the addition of aluminum reinforcements provides increased load-bearing capacity for external fittings and components. Plastic compounds dissipate heat better than metal, so air flowing through intake tubes remains cooler to aid combustion. Sound-deadening acoustic qualities of newer compounds have been improved, making them as good as their metal counterparts in eliminating raucous and unwanted engine noises. Silicone-based gaskets allow better flex between dissimilar materials, and they help eliminate corrosion and vibrations. If you're considering purchasing a plastic intake manifold, finding one with these improvements will be your best bet to insure that you're chosen the best part more details on - www.carid.com/articles/why-does-my-car-have-a-plastic-intake-manifold.html

Dealer service manager told me my timing may be way to retarded causing the issues, or because head was shaved threw out the timing hence misfiring but it may be as simple as vacuum leak done by a poor job on the head that can't see or my choice of crappy Chinese injectors which I corrected this morning; I can't wait for 100 miles to roll!
Nice work, as always. thanks
This will most likely solve my CEL issues. Currently have the same codes pop up.
just a quick question about the intake ports on the engine block. the three rectangular ports between the intake ports, what are they meant for as i would like to know what their purpose is .. cheers :)
Hi Dan im new to your channel and liked it do straight forward with the problem, no unnecessary explanation about each step and fast explanation. I have 09 corolla 1.8 with code p0301 and I changed spark plugs and still have code with miss fire in 1piston can it be same as this video, bad intake gasket? Hope you can help thanks.
I have a 06 Toyota matrix and replaced the intake manifold gasket and im still having misfiring in all for cylinders and suggestions
Thank you for your great video
Haven't had to do that on my 05 yet but it only has 96k on it. Belt tensioner has been replaced once under warranty and again by my with a upgraded one though
does this apply to the 99 model also? i've replaced .... plugs, wires, coils, o2 sensors, injectors ..... still a misfire
Does this code apply to 2001 Corollas as well?
Still ,best damn tutorial on Toyotas
My 2006 Pontiac Vibe had this same problem. This fix is extremely easy for any beginner DIYer.
There Is A Updated Gasket For That Car. Other Then That Good Job!!
99 lexus es300 throws lean bank one, cylinder 2,4,6 misfire. cleaned mass airflow already, replaced spark plugs, what do i do now misfires are random i can tell when light flahses
I had a strange occurrence today was driving and got bad hesitation(barely made it back home)I read obd it said misfire cylinder 3(i figure coil)so to make sure I switched 2 and 3 coils,erased codes and the problem went away?Bad connection maybe?I'm stumped and i have children and dont wanna get stranded if it decides to do it again.What would u reccomend?
Need your opinion. Have P0171 on a ‘06 Corolla and misfires in banks 1-4. I changed out the spark plugs literally 4 months ago, so I have completed the following: cleaned MAF sensor and throttle body. Put in new intake manifold gasket. Same codes are throwing. Do you think I could have bought a bad batch of plugs? What would YOU do in this situation because I am stuck. Thanks.
A leak somewhere else would be my guess. A smoke test would be a quick test.
Nice work, only bit I wouldn't risk would be using that impact to run in the spark plugs.
That's exactly what I thought of when I watched it. I'm too much of a wimp to use impact on the spark plugs.
he still had to run them down a thread or two by hand, good drill control
JaWe and that's where I realized while editing this video, I should have clarified exactly why I used a light impact while installing the spark plugs. If you look closely, you'll notice I start them by hand and ensure a few threads have seated. Then to save time, I run them down the rest of the way with a 1/4" impact before giving them one final tightening with a 3/8" ratchet. But you are correct, you would NEVER want to install spark plugs only using an impact. Imagine the headache if one cross-threaded....
Yep, I've cross-threaded one before in a motorcycle (aluminum will happily cross-thread as I'm sure you know). No fun. You're a mechanic so I figured you have a well-calibrated feel for what you can get away with - I just wanted to highlight it so DIY mechs who watch this aren't running out and blasting their plugs in with their 1/2" Milwaukees. :P
Why are some of the videos on your channel gone? Did the old shop you worked in get mad that you filmed some of the vehicles you worked on?
That's what I was wondering too.
Michael Lux There are a few reasons behind the removal of those videos. Here's the situation, recently I was promoted to shop supervisor. Certain videos I had taken at work went viral to the point of my coworkers seeing them online. Now that I am managing these people, it's my responsibility to ensure I'm setting the right example. While there was nothing wrong with the videos themselves, taking videos at the job site or on company time is not good leadership practice. Because I am liable for the content I post on this channel, I decided to remove any videos taken at my workplace. It was not an easy choice, believe me. But I have to do what is right for my career and for the company. I'm doing my best to keep my subscribers entertained and informed, and I greatly appreciate the understanding from everyone.
DanielJaegerFilms well congrats on the Promo!
Cool video very helpful
I Thz 2-VERY MUCH indeed (!)-Nathan Glentworth-4-updated infor to use "updated orange silicone intake gasket from Toyota dealer parts department!" We all know nothing is permernant, but the oragnge gasket likely made 2-3 times longer than "black gasket" I hope. I will try oragne color gasket THANKS so much 2 Nathan...
I have a 2000 Corolla with a P0300 or P0304. I wonder if it’s the same issue. I’ve never done this work before. ... a little skittish to try.
Same codes 02 Toyota Celica 1.8 engine, testing this tomorrow.
90s v6 Explorers have the same type gaskets. Just did them on my 96/
I had a cylinder 3 misfire in my xB (camry motor) and it needed a new ignition coil.
Just replaced my ignition coil on cylinder 4 on my 04 Altis
Sure beats doing the intakes on a Chevy V8 any day. Only thing I may advise, is there was an updated gasket for that car.
I need help with my cylinder 3 misfire and lean Fuel code, my mechanic replaced coil packs and plugs and still causing missfire in number 3. Would I have a pontiac vibe with similar engine. I wonder if this is the issue.
Cody Arndt the vibe and matrix are practically the same car. I would recommend giving this a shot. I did it myself in less than an hour and the gasket cost me $11. Couldn’t hurt
Is that also for a 2009 corrola
Would this cause a car to not drive? Car has bad misfire when I put it in reverse or drive I have to hold throttle down almost all the way to get it to move at all.
Great video! Thanks a lot. What did you torque the spark plugs to?
18ft lbs
Had I known this I would have fixed my old 2000 Ford Explorer all by myself. (Don't get me started on that it was a Ford and that was the real problem, that car was amazing).
Zachary Bornhoft Yeah fords are great my grandfather loves them and I'm going to trust his judgement regarding solid engineering given he was part of the team that engineered the engines for the 747 amongst other aircraft lol.
Great Video
Super. , Excellent ， I got code PO171, PO300x PO 301,2,3,4 and po133 together on my 2004 Matrix , I replaced MAF sensor, air filter, four spark plugs and two coils , and PVC hose and breathe hose, but nothing changed ， car shaking a lot on idle , should replace of gasket kill the problem?
Yes you need the upgraded gasket with thicker design. It's orange not black and people have posted the part number all over.
I have a 2003 Matrix. I just sprayed the car with brake cleaner before this video and have the same issue. I ordered the upgraded gaskets Thanks Daniel for the quick fix. Thanks @ trumpetpatrick for part number 17171-22060. Part arrives tomorrow keep you posted. 🙏👌
What kind of lift is that?
The step by step on the intake gasket replacement is great, but why do I cringe everytime I see you use that drill driver to tighten those new spark plugs 🤣
Exactly..I used one on my very first car I owned and snapped it in half lol.... was very upset in my yard trying to get it out with a flat head in the dark lol.
There is an updated (orange color) gasket available. I believe it Viton instead of an NBR rubber. Handes the heat better.
I wish you had better described exactly how the car performed while driving as a result of these misfire and lean fault codes.
Is this a similar troubleshooting for the 2000-2004 Celica?
Was it, I have the same problem
And the pontiac vibes with the 1.8 as well.
Please my friend what is the number spark plugs 1zz-fe 1.8
The number spark plugs 1zz-fe 1.8 should be in ur owner's manual n look it up in google or just call or pay visit 2 ur dealer part they should tell U.
just wondering where you got your lift or what brand it is.
Is that a Milwaukee tool?
I had an 03 corolla with 250k miles that had the same problem
Wow, it's basically the same design as an Accord of the same year.
This is a real technician right here.
Need help - I got 2013 Corolla LE with 194k KM, changed oil regularly. When I bought at 151k KM, it used to give me 600KM for full 40L Tank. It gradually decreased to only 450KM for full tank. Also sometimes I smell gas or rotten egg smell while driving. No codes or error comes up. Any advice?
It's huanted?
well for sure is that you get fat
Why did you get rid of the Chrysler 200 running on lean video?
That's what I wanted to know, I was looking for it. And the one where the Bird was in the air filter.
same!
Sir!!! I have toyota MRS 2000 with 1zz engine, my engine light turns on after 10-15mins idle/driving, I'm also experiencing misfire in my muffler, I have the same error code P0171, what should I do? I don't trust the mechanic here, he's just also searching in internet how to fix P0171, I'm just afraid of spending money to replace every parts that might cause P0171.
Excellent video. Who's behind the camera?
That would be my girlfriend ;)
DanielJaegerFilms So, now should be Your wife eventually
Anyone else had this problem? What was your experience?
DanielJaegerFilms my mom got a '05 Vibe. Has that same code. Replaced the intake gasket, code came back within a few months. Researched online, there's TSB on the engine computers cause of that lean code. I gotta do more in depth diagnosis on it before I go and replace the computer. I'm hoping, it's the gasket. Maybe I messed up installing it or something.
DanielJaegerFilms like I said in my previous post I haven't had any problems with my Corolla so far. But thanks for alerting me to this so I know to keep an eye out for it. the Corolla you were working on only has 50k more miles than my current Corolla does.
DanielJaegerFilms I put right at 200,000 miles on my previous Corolla and never once had that problem.
I had all 4 cylinders misfire codes after having a brand new transmission replaced no air leaks 2003 Toyota matrix automatic. I'm thinking it's my flexplate that's worn out. 258,000 miles
Good one
Thanks
Had this same issue with my moms 03 corolla. replaced the intake gasket, shortly after I had a lean code again. Could never figure it out, did smoke test, fuel pressure test, etc.. I eventually changed the injectors by throwing parts at it cuz they were cheap and it fixed it. The car doesn't even have a fuel filter......
Rajinder Singh it does. It's just buried down in the tank
Fuel tank sock vs filter are 2 different things
Rajinders737 not according to most mechanics
@@HAHAHAV10 it has both a filter sock and I believe the filter is in the fuel pump.
Daniel, were you on flat rate on that job?....LoL.
Hello Daniel,
Thanks for the video.
My situation is a little different. 2007 Corolla, same engine. Just turned 30k. (Purchased from Elderly women, didn't drive much) Showroom cond., no codes, runs great..except:
Were feeling an occasional "hiccup" mainly when 1st starting for the day. You may only feel it 1 or 4 times during a 5 mile drive.
-Due to age , we did put oem plugs in
-cleaned maf sensor with crc spray
-cleaned throttle body and blade
-checked for vacuum leaks
-ran a bottle of gumout (with p.e.a.) in last tank full
Can you think of anything else I could try? I know this engine is one of the best built and should not be doing this as infrequent as it is.
Thanks
Tom
Why aren't you working at the rental company anymore?
Why didn't you change the PCV valve which sits below the intake also. You had the intake off.
It's not there it is on top on the valve cover
You should give us ball park prices for these fixes you do. I know the customer has some privacy but at the same time they are complete strangers to us so they do have privacy
Gasket costs $11. It’s less than an hours work
Great video I test mine the same way and guess what intake leak at cylinder 1, as a temporarily fix I cleaned the area of the leak started the engine and then I Brushed on engine oil over the leaky area and the vacuum sucked in the oil and sealed the leak. It's been a week now and no codes. If I get another code I may brush on gear oil this may last longer and I will replace the gasket when the weather gets warmer. Very cold her in Toronto Feb/18 2020. The gaskets are cheap always go with Toyota or Fel-Pro bet they will be very close to same price
Its january 18.
Sorry I meant to say Jan/18 thinking of my birthday in Feb. But the fix the temp fix works great, once you see cylinder 1 and you will know why it leakes in that spot
I wish u could come to Trinidad and check my car I have dis same engine I get a vibration on a red light or a stop on d left side. and I have a misfire to and dem mechanic don't know shit.
was this a 1zz-fe
looks like it, my 03 celica had a 1zz. burned so much oil i kept a spare jug of oil in my trunk!
Michael Schatz mine don't so that lol I have a 03
Dimples leather steering wheel,, NICE
I should have said, typo, he knows, gramatically correct in 3rd person singluar...
Didn't you do this to a Chrysler, but it was a different problem?
Yeah where that piece of plastic got stuck in the throttle body.
Great
The number spark plugs 1zz-fe 1.8 should be in ur owner's manual n look it up in google or just call or pay visit 2 ur dealer part they should tell U.
I hate when people don't use torque specks
Good thing everything has torque tolerances, eh?
it has a plastic intake manifold??
Melody every car does nowadays
Melody wow... I hate new cars so much
Melody Today's Intake Manifolds Have Improved Plastic Composites And Designs
In this overhead view of an original factory Ford 4.6-liter plastic intake manifold (left) and an improved replacement (right), it's easy to see how the improved one features fore-aft structural reinforcements, aluminum structural support in critical areas, better silicone seals, and strengthening around fitment areas. Look for as many of these features as possible when purchasing a replacement plastic intake manifold.
More and more automakers are switching to plastic intake manifolds. After decades of testing and studying common failure points, optimum blends of plastic with 35% fiberglass or related glass elements have been perfected to enhance both strength and elasticity. Today's plastic intake manifolds are more than just mere plastic. Greater strength from engineered compounds resists cracks under pressure where it's most needed, and greater elasticity yields the ability to stretch and snap back - preventing permanent warpage which causes leaks. Failure rates of quality plastic intake manifolds manufactured in recent years have dropped significantly, and high reliability over long-term use makes them a smart purchase.
Thicker construction in critical areas prevents erosion from dirty coolant, and the addition of aluminum reinforcements provides increased load-bearing capacity for external fittings and components. Plastic compounds dissipate heat better than metal, so air flowing through intake tubes remains cooler to aid combustion. Sound-deadening acoustic qualities of newer compounds have been improved, making them as good as their metal counterparts in eliminating raucous and unwanted engine noises. Silicone-based gaskets allow better flex between dissimilar materials, and they help eliminate corrosion and vibrations. If you're considering purchasing a plastic intake manifold, finding one with these improvements will be your best bet to insure that you're chosen the best part more details on - www.carid.com/articles/why-does-my-car-have-a-plastic-intake-manifold.html
Melody that's pretty old lol, 03 is what year I have and it's got the plastic intake. It's a pretty hard plastic tho, not cheap plastic.
most modern cars do have plastic intakes because its cheaper than metal xd
