Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: 2012 Toyota LE Whining Sound When Accelerator Pedal Slightly Engaged

I have a 2012 Toyota Corolla LE (automatic transmission) with 90000 miles on it.

For a long time now I have dealt with a whining sound in my 2012 Toyota corolla. The symptoms are that the sound only happens when the accelerator pedal is slightly engaged. This happens at any speed. At the slightest push of the pedal a whining/spinning sound happens and if you maintain pedal engagement the sound of whining/spinning continues. The sound goes away instantly when the pedal is depressed and will again come back when engaged subsequent times.

I have been researching on the internet and I seem to be pointed in the direction of the transmission fluid to change from the Toyota Genuine ATF WS currently being used in the 2012 Toyota Corolla as the stock transmission fluid to Redline D4 as others have experienced a similar noise problem in 2010 corolla models and have made the noise go away by using the Redline D4 because of viscosity differences. I am not sure however if the same transmission model (U341E) is being used in all Corolla models.

I own a 2009 superwhite corolla xrs. I've owned the car now for several months . Ever since I got It, I've heard a noise coming from the engine bay .

It's makes the noise on a regular basis . Check out the video... ignore the dirty dash low fuel light... I was parked by a gas station i swear.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Engine Blown Out In Toyota XRS

My engine just went out in my 2009 Corolla XRS. What vehicles have the same engine as a 2009 Corolla XRS 2.4L manual transmission?

Also, what would it take to put in the 1.8L engine? Would it bolt straight up? Would I need a new ecu/wiring harness/mounts/exhaust/trans etc?

I am considering putting in a rebuilt or used transmission at the same time because my syncros were failing.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: CEL Popped On And Engine Misfire

A couple weeks ago, my check engine light popped on and I noticed my engine misfire. I happened to be driving by an autozone, so I pulled in and had them check the code. Came back as a misfire on cylinder 4, possibly bad ignition coil or clogged injector. I ran some techron for the next couple of gas tanks, didn't seem to do much, as I would still occasionally get the check engine light.

It has been getting more and more common for it to happen while driving since. Today on the way home from work, it misfired several times in a row and got so bad that I couldn't get above 40mph. This lasted for a minute or two, then cleared up and I made it home without a hitch. Took it back to autozone, same code..Cylinder 4 misfire, probably ignition coil or primary/secondary ignition b fault. I went ahead and bought an ignition coil, came back home and installed. Just took it for a test drive and now I've got the same issue.

I only replaced the one coil that has been throwing a code as misfiring. I did not also replace the spark plug on that cylinder.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Engine Seems To Momentarily Lose RPM

Just purchased a 2010 Toyota Corolla S, 41k, automatic. When I'm going down a flat road, at about 30-35 miles per hour, with a constant pressure on the gas pedal, the engine seems to momentarily lose RPM, just for a moment, almost feels like the A/C compressor is kicking in but not quite, another description is it feels like clogged injectors. All other speeds seem to be ok, kicking the throttle to the floor results in smooth acceleration, I'm actually impressed with the amount of power the engine has. Is this normal? Ive purchased some lucas fuel treatment and have added it to the tank. Throttle response seems ok, I've read about throttle controllers however I'm not sure that would fix the problem, if there is one. Hoping it's a characteristic of the vehicle.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Engine Cranks But Doesn't Start?

I have a 2009 Corolla 1.8L. It turns over but won't start. I don't hear the fuel pump when I turn the key on or when I try to start it. There are 3 EFI fuses, and all of them are good. There doesn't seem to be an EFI relay (correct me if I'm wrong). I've replaced the fuel pump and it still won't start.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Engine Knock On Start Up - 2012 LE

I now have 500 Miles on my LE. Driven soft Never over 2,500 rpm except, one time I accelerated to 4,500 RPM in first. Short 5 Mile trips.

Engine knock on start-up (Lasts one second)
sounds like a lifter pumping up.
Only happens occasionally.
Happened last night after driving 40 Miles and parking it for two hours.

Is this normal? I have noticed this since the first 10 Miles on the odometer. Figured it was the 0W-20 Oil.

My friend has a 2003 Echo with 100,000 miles and it does not do this.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Loud Whine Coming From Engine

2009 Corolla S 1.8l 85K miles

I have let my wife drive my car over the last couple months because she has a much farther commute to work and needs the A/C since its a more professional job than mine.

I noticed the other day when I drove it that there was a really loud whine coming from the engine. We're both Master's students, so I'm pretty bent on not going to the stealership for anything. Would this be the belts?

Here are the videos I took: [URL] ....

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: 2zr-fe Developed A Tick When Engine Is Under Load

I have a 2009 Corolla XLE with 207,000 miles on it. For the past few thousand miles, the car has developed a tick when the engine is under load. It cannot be heard when the transmission is in Neutral. The car runs fine at driving speeds, but often idles rough and even dies at stop signs. A local shop says that it needs a timing chain and a phaser. Most of these miles are easy highway miles, I am a little disappointed that the engine would need such a big repair. Anyway, the Haynes Manual claims that the manufacturer recommends pulling the engine / transaxle assembly before changing the timing chain. Need changing the timing chain sprockets with the engine in the car?

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Brief Rattle On Startup When Engine Warm Up

2009 Matrix 2ZR-FE, briefly rattles on restart after sitting for one hour after reaching running temp. This engine doesn't rattle on a cold startup so I'm wondering what else other than the intake cam gear could cause this. 42,000 miles, 5-20 dino, regular service.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Engine Rattle Always Happens On A Warm Restart

I finally caught my engine rattle on audio. Give a listen and tell me what you think this is: [URL] .....

There's a TSB about a rattle on a cold start, but mine never rattles when it's cold. This always happens on a warm restart -- usually about 45 to 75 minutes after I've parked it.

It's been doing this for at least a year, but I've had trouble catching it in the act and, of course, the dealer can't reproduce it. I currently have 37k miles on it. Oil changes completed at 1k, 5k and every 5k after. Using Mobil 1 5W-20 since the second change.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: XLE - Rattling Sound From Engine Compartment When Start The Car

I have just purchased my first Toyota. Formally a Subaru man. It is a 2009 corolla XLE with 95,000 miles. It is a one owner car in excellent condition and I have all the service records from the Toyota dealer where the work was done.

When I start the car most of the time there is a rattling sound that comes from the engine compartment and lasts just a couple of seconds. In my manual there is something in the ABS section about noises from the ABS system. Could the ABS system be the cause of this noise?
