Camry :: 2009 LE AC Operates Intermittently, Blows Warm Air In Cold Mode

I have a 2009 Camry LE (4 cylinder) that has an intermittent operating A/C unit. The blower will always work, however the cold A/C only operates intermittently, but the unit will continue to blow warm air half the time and cold air the other half of the time while in the cold mode.

I read that there is a relay fuse in the 5th Generation Camry, which sounds like my problem, however, I am not able to locate such a fuse in the 6th Gen Camry.

Could it be a relay fuse? Any other culprits? I would like to see if this is a problem that I can fix.

IS F (2008-2014) :: How Long To Warm Up The Car In The Cold

I sometimes pulloff after a minute then Im off, but slowly until the engine temp gets to the middle. I won't go caveman on it until the oil temp is almost in the middle too (never quite gets to the middle for the engine oil temp)

Is this logic right? Lexus guy told me it'll warm up as you go. If it was like zero degrees out then yes Id let it idle for 10-15 minutes.

Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: 2014 - Air Conditioning Cold While Moving / Warm When Idling

I have a 2014 Hyundai SFS 2.4L with about 50,000 miles and love it so far. However, I have a concern, when I am driving on the highway or even back roads the air conditioning cranks real cold. However, when idling at a light there's an obvious temperature difference that is warmer. I have ECO "off" because when ECO was on it completely shut off the air when accelerating or idling. Is this a scroll compressor? The reason I ask is my FORD had a scroll compressor and exhibited the same symptoms and it turned out it was a $35 faulty valve, but convincing numerous shops it was, was the problem. Also, could it be low Freon? If so, does it take R-134A and is it something I can do myself?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2013 - Idle Was A Bit Jumpy Warm Or Cold

Got a 13 f150 with the 5.0. I bought it used with about 14 thous kms, now it has 17. Ever since I owned it I noticed the idle was a bit jumpy warm or cold. I didn't really pay any attention to it as it wasnt throwing a CEL or anything but now that I have a roush exhaust and intake I have started to notice it a lot more....not that its worse but at idle my truck sounds like a boat. Weird comparison I know. It seems like it'll jump within +/- 200 rpm @ idle which IIRC is 1K rpm.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Heater Blows Cold Air / Not Even Coming Close To Warm

So the other morning I drive the 140 miles out of town to work for the week. when I pull up to the job site the cooling fans were revving really really high! never heard this before. then it went back to normal after I opened the gate and parked my truck and shut it off. I'm driving maybe 5 miles tops to the job and back to the motel every day. however that is far enough that my heater should be warming up and it's not even coming close to warm. it blows cold air. and to compound that I'm not sure the cooling fans are even working. they don't appear to be. Is there a connection here?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2013 - AC Fluctuates From Cold To Warm With Heavy Damp Smell

AC used for the first time since purchasing the truck last Oct. I notice and passengers in truck with me as well notice that the AC is not strong at all and it fluctuates from cold to warm with a heavy damp smell almost like its letting fresh air in mixing with the cold AC. It seems to be doing this more so when driving but will also do it at at idle after driving. Of course dealership states perfect temp blowing @34 and Freon at perfect levels. Max AC will not blow you out of the truck and reg ac at lowest setting feels like its on a vent setting. When AC first comes out it smells very damp mildew smell. 2013 F-150 Limited 3.5.....

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Ticking Sound During Cold Start Engine Warm Up - Exhaust Leak

5.0 coyote exhaust leak .. Since the cold weather has arrived i have noticed a new noise. During cold start engine warm up I hear a nice little tick-tick-tick which sounds to me like an exhaust leak. Is this a common problem? I have just over 58,000 miles would this be covered under powertrain or do they have some nice exclusions for exhaust?

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Warm CC Air Only When Car Is Moving - When Standstill Air Freezing Cold

This one comes just in time when the cold and bad weather has started! My car is exhibiting certain symptoms and I am trying to figure out whether this is an issue with physical duct and air passageway components, the computer or something else....

When I turn on climate control, the car will blow air temp according to the one inputted only when I am driving, as soon as I come to a standstill, no matter what temp i input in the CC on the center console, the air will be freezing cold.

Now I don't know if its the computer sending improper signals to the duct system, a bad sensor or some problem with the duct passageway system.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Heater Was Blowing Cold At Idle And Warm When Driving

2007 GS 350 109,500 miles. My heater was blowing cold at idle and warm when driving so I took it to dealer. To my surprise, dealer says its a blown head gasket. No other symptoms. No white smoke, no smells, no warning lights on dash, and running fine. Just had VVT gear recall done last week.

Fortunately I have Lexus extended warranty good thru 125k miles and Feb 2014. I do my own maintenance (plugs, oil changes etc). Have records for all. But have not done coolant change (due at 100k).

Lexus IS 2014+ :: New LS300 Sluggish Even In Sport Mode

2016 IS300.

I've had it for 4 days now, and I've never had a brand new car so maybe this is a moot point. But the car simply feels heavy and sluggish. I'm at a little over 300 miles and the car just doesn't have much zip compared to my 2010 IS. Also, when I had the clear bra done at Lexus they gave me an identical loaner (2016 IS300 AWD) with around 800 miles and it felt totally different.

I remember with my 2010 reading that the car has to "learn" how you drive, etc. With my 2016 it'll go from a dead stop, them a couple of shifts in it drops to a super low gear. Even in sport mode it feels sluggish. In ECO mode... Well, lets just say that feels laughable.

Why was my loaner (which was identical to my new car) much zippier in the normal mode? Is this something I should be concerned about? The car runs fine, just no zip (yet).

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Accidentally Put The Car Into PARK Mode While Driving

I let a friend drive my is350 awd. He usually drives manual so I pretty much assumed he would be comfortable with tiptronic. I put the car in tiptronic at a red light and then he started to try and shift the gears as if it was a manual. He accidentally put the car into PARK as it was driving at about 50 km/h. This lasted for about 20 seconds before I was able to put the car back into Drive. Soon after we parked the car back into my garage, I am pretty worried as I know this isn't supposed to happen and I don't know how back the car could be messed up.

I currently only have 500 km on the odometer.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Engine Generate Some Vibration In D Mode

Winter is coming. These two days are the first time my living area get below 5C (41F). The car start up fine as summer time. I let the car to warm up like 30 second as usual.

After I drove a short distance and the engine temperature indicator reach 1/3 of the level, I realize the engine would generate some vibration while I stop the car completely in D mode. You can actually hear the engine get louder and shake the car a little.
It happens whenever I brake the car to a complete stop.

However, it does not happen when I start my car or after the car is completely warm up (1/2 of the temperature bar). I am not sure if it is because of the cold weather or the engine hasn't warmed up enough. It has never happened before while the outside temperature is above 5C.. Yesterday, I thought it was someone beside me who turn their base speaker so loud beside my car. Today, it happened again. I am sure it is the engine. Our engine is always quiet. I am not sure what is happening.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Heater Blowing Cold At Idle, Warm When Revving / Driving

My '06 GS450h has developed a fault where the heater blows cold at idle and low revs but blows warm when driving or revving the engine at a standstill. The coolant hasn't dropped at all and the car never goes above halfway on the temp gauge. Its starting to get frustrating now the cold weather has set in and temps dropping! Long journeys are ok as at high speeds it stays warm but short journeys are uncomfortable!

I just had a feel of the rad hoses and hoses that go into the matrix (engine side of bulk head) and matrix hoses feel warm (both of them), the top hose to the rad is warm but not hot and bottom hose is cold suggesting the stat hasn't opened yet. Its cold outside so getting the car up to temp is quite difficult without a long drive (rush hour at the mo).

Still I just had the car parked on the drive and cranked the heater up to max and held the accelerator for a while and super warm air blows out. The engine cuts back out as "normal operating temp" has been reached for battery mode and then the heater goes cool again! Still the bottom radiator hose is cool and top hose not massively warm. It has never overheated thus far and I drive 150miles a day back and forth to Reading from Cheltenham 4 nights a week.

Only thing I can think of is a sticky thermostat or water pump not operating sufficiently enough to circulate the water? Its getting colder and short trips where it used to blow warm air nice and quickly (within 3-5miles) are becoming unpleasant!

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: AC Blowing Out Of Vent Is Cold But Rear Passenger Seats Warm

So last couple days over the 4th, the heat was over 95.

AC Blowing out of the vent is cold but the rear seats passenger feels warm.

Even with the blower on the higher and temp on the lowest 65 (or lowest setting).

I put my hand towards the rear seat and I feel warm air. Near the vents are cool but its like the AC can't keep up with the heat ?
