Camry :: 2004 Only Starts On Second Cranking Attempt


Apr 14, 2012

This is in town driving. Highway mileage is much better but still bad. I checked O2 sensor voltage and it reads a constant 3.3 volts. I believe the O2 sensor is bad but not quite sure. What the correct voltage should be both cold and warmed up to operating temp? Also can the O2 sensor alone cause such high mileage? Car only starts on second cranking attempt.

Camry :: 2008 LE - No Cranking But After 2 Minutes It Starts In First Self

My 2008 camry le v4 has some starting problem. So what happens is when i turn ignition on everything works like radio lights but no cranking i tried lock unlock. Ignition on off. But no cranking but after 2 mins it starts in first self.

It doesn't happens every time but normally Everyday in morning it starts fine but in evening it does it more or when weather is hot. Battery is new. Starter has no problems. I even tried different key.

It looks like alarm issue but i am not sure all the fuses looks fine. Every time it does it its always around 2 mins from when i put in key first time. But it always starts after delay. Its been doing this from 4 month with up to 2 weeks with no problem.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Red Triangle Of Death But Starts Fine On 2nd Attempt?

Yesterday I went out in the AM, got in car, depressed the brake, and pushed the start button. I heard normal electrical sounds, then the red triangle of death came on, and it stopped it usual start up sounds, and nothing happened. I could not do anything. I couldn't take it out of park, couldn't push start button again. The electrical system was on cause a bunch of the lights in the dash were lit ( the only one i remember that was lit was the brake word in the dash, but there were others) I sat there a few minutes trying to push the start button or get it to shut off somehow, and eventually it all just shut off.

I depressed the brake and pushed the start button again and it started up just fine, and off to work I went. It started up fine on my way home from work, and running errands after work.

Then this morning - same thing! First time, no start, and the red triangle of death came on. I let off the brake and just sat there hoping that like yesterday it would eventually shut off and I could try again. The only difference today was that on the display monitor a warning notice came up it said something like: Caution: Problem with Transmission "P" brake system. Park car on flat surface, and fully apply the parking brake. When this happens though, I cannot event put the car in neutral or anything. I continued to sit there about 4 minutes, then everything shut off, and I started the car right up like normal. and off to work I went.

What could be my issue?? My driveway in on an incline, would this have anything with it not starting?

Camry :: 2004 2.4L Extended Cranking When Warm?

starting problem entirely solved by only replacing new fuel filter. i pulled out the filter assembly, checked fuel pump strainer good, regulator oring good but found the filter internal paper was black! changed a new one and the problem never recurred.

-2004 camry 2AZ-FE. 115,000 km (71,000mi).

been searching everywhere for same issue on Gen5 camry but couldnt find any exact fix.

-cold start in the morning (or whenever engine had cool down to ambient temp) engine fires in one kick. max 2 second crank only.

-when engine is warm at operating temperature, and is shut off, i crank it for 4-5 seconds or even longer but engine doesnt fire. 2nd attempt to crank, after the first long crank, it fires in 1 second crank time. this is consistent every single time.

-after engine fires, it idles normal. no sputter or any other abnormality. never had MIL on.

-engine drives normally on all type of load, uphill, highway cruising, city driving etc. so i believe no issues with spark plug.

-cleaned MAF, cleaned camshaft position sensor. measured camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, coolant temperature sensor all within specification. measured my battery at 12.33v. manual specifies 12.5-12.9V but dont think 0.2v would cause this problem?

-swapped open circuit relay with EFI relay with no effect.

-general check on vacuum hoses, no breakage.

-cleaned PCV valve

-check my exhaust - its very clean, no carbon built up and even has water moisture. pointing to good combustion. so i believe injectors are fine.

-next possibility is either fuel pressure regulator and its oring, fuel pump, and the in-tank filter. i am wondering if i should replace all these....

Camry :: 2009 - Unplugged Power To Radio In Attempt To Clear Error 3

2009 Camry SE with jbl 6 disc changer. So I was getting a jammed changer (error 3) and tried disconnecting the negative terminal of my battery for a bit to reset everything. So it went from saying that there were 6 discs in the changer (there were only 5) and error 3 to saying there was nothing in the changer and pressing load/eject don't do anything. It's as if there's no cd player detected anymore. Aux still works. Any tips or is it fried? Also I took the whole thing out and removed all the discs. Still no dice.

LS / MKZ :: 01 Lincoln V8 Takes 3 To 6 Seconds Of Cranking Before It Starts

I have owned this 01 LS with a V8 for about a year now and have had it to the dealer at least 6 times. After bringing the car in twice, the dealer finally found that there was a problem with the fuel injector. 3 months later the problem came back - basically the car takes 3-6 seconds of cranking before it starts (from a cold start of more than 2 hours). The last 3 times I have had it in the dealer has reprogrammed the computer and thought it was fixed - Wrong! After this last time, the dealer said they could not find a problem and felt they were doing all they could - in fact, they told me to switch to a lower octane gas and see if that works.

S-10 :: 1999 Truck Takes A Few Seconds When Cranking Then Finally Starts

My truck has a short in it. I've noticed this delay for the past few months. Takes a few seconds when I'm cranking it, then it finally starts. Could it be the alternator that I need replaced? It's not the battery, cause I'm getting plenty of juice.

Explorer :: 2002 V6 Crank Then Completely Stops / Starts Cranking Again And Fires Up

I have a 2002 Explorer 4 door with the flex fuel V6 engine with 157k miles. This has happened twice in a month. You got to start the truck and it starts to crank for a second and half and then it completely stops for a half second and then starts cranking again and fires up. The kicker is after it did this the instrument gauges, all of them, stayed at nothing when it started and then they all at the same time went to the highest level and then they all dropped back down to nothing and then rose to their perspective positions. My trip gauge reset it self to zero as well..

Touareg :: Engine Turns Over / Keeps Cranking And Finally Starts With Slow Idle

My car is a 2005 V6 Touareg. It has 60.000 kilometers on it and had no major issues to this date. It was well maintained. Recently, it developed a problem with starting. Before I go into more details, I have to tell this: my car has two batteries, and they are in perfect condition, verified by the dealer. The spark plugs were changed at 45.000 kilometers. It has no rough running characteristics under heavy acceleration or any hesitation - from what I read, symptoms for bad ignition coils-.

When I turn the key for ignition, the engine turns over but instead of immediately starting, keeps cranking for 2-3 seconds, and finally starts with a slow idle. Sometimes the charging light remains on for several seconds due to the difficult starting and the slow idle, but this does not last and the cars start idling normally, as if nothing happened. This happens when the car sits overnight and the engine is cold. Once it starts, I cannot get the car to do this without waiting overnight. Summertime weather seems to contribute to this but I still get it in the cold winter weather.

Strangely, if I do not use the car for, say, 3 days, the car starts like the day I bought it, without the hesitation.
I took it to a dealer and told them to check it but they said it start normally. They checked to see if the car registers any error but it does not. I am sure of the quality of the fuel I am using. In any case, I tried several different brands from different stations just in case, but this did not make any difference.

Bad ignition coil, idling sensors or mechanism, something wrong with the intake manifold? Carbon build-up (although I have to say this is not likely since the catalytic converter seems to be fine which leads me to believe there is no excessive carbon buildup).

Venture :: 2004 Quit Without Notice / No Attempt To Start

This car has been great in terms of reliability and no leaks (read not a drop) anywhere.

Today it has decided to quit without notice.

Turn the ignition and it appears to be turning off/on rapidly sort of like maybe it's shorting or something. Dash lights go off/on as this occurs. No attempt to start... as you hold the key on start dash lights the rapid on/oof action described above.

Where I should start troubleshooting this thing??

Phaeton :: Engine Starting Intermittently On First Attempt (2004 V6)

Recently however, I have had a problem starting it up on the 1st attempt. I would say that at least a third of the time the engine starts and then immediately cuts out, with the battery light coming on. On the occasions that the engine stays on, it feels as if it might just cut out in the first couple of minutes. It normally starts, and stays on, on the 2nd attempt of starting. I suspect it may just be that my battery is just coming to the end of it's useful life.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2006 - Stop Cranking Right Before Starts?

My 06 f350 power stroke has a viper 2way remote starter.

When I try to start it when the truck is cold it doesn't crank long enough for it to start the truck. It will try 3 times when I hit the start button and normally won't go. It almost starts most times but stops cranking right before it starts. This is driving me nuts.

I just tried 3 times to start the truck and it in ally went on the 8th time trying to crank.

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Starts But After 5 Seconds Of Cranking Even Warm

I am a longtime 7.3 IDI guy with an 88 F350 crew so i know about diesels. But this is my first electronic diesel. I picked up a 2001 F450 2wd auto 260k miles. it used to be my work's truck but was stitting for a year and now i got it in "non running condition"

I towed it home and got it started by replacing the batteries and using the block heater.

As expected it took a few tries of long cranking to run the first time. runs pretty good and no smoke. what surprised me is it still takes about 5 sec of cranking to restart each time when warm too. any direction you would look with those symptoms? HPOP, IPR?

i am pretty sure the glow plugs all work because mechanics had replaced all that stuff. but i know back when the truck was last used it would still never start cold unless plugged in (even in summer).

Camry :: 2004 XLE Rough Starts In The Morning

My 2004 Camry XLE 4 Cyl has rough starts in the morning. Idle is smooth after it starts, but it just doesn't start as smooth as it does every other start during the rest of the day. Its a significant difference.

Things I've done so far:

-Cleaned the mass airflow sensor with CRC Mass Airflow Cleaner
-Cleaned throttle body by following the DIY
-Changed the Air filter
-Changed Oil (upgraded to Mobile 1 Synthetic, changed filter to Bosch)
-Changed PCV Valve
-Changed Spark Plugs to Iridium Power

It doesn't seem to matter what the weather is like, either way it rough starts. It has been doing this for quite a while now, well before all this maintenance I've been doing lately.

Camry :: 2004 Car Starts But No Electrical / Can't Shift From Park

I've got an 04 Camry that will start with no problems but there is no power to the gauges, radio, heat/ac controls, windows and I have to use the override to shift from park. There's are remote start in the car and if you use that to start the car everything works perfectly fine, but as soon as you turn the key and step on the break to shut down the remote starter the electronics stop working.

I've replaced the 120 alt fuse before i figured out the remote start working.

Camry :: 2004 Engine Never Starts And Tachometer Does Not Move

My 2004 Camry will not start; I have never had any starting issues before and the car was running perfectly hours before the problem started.

The battery is fully charged
The fuel pump is operating
The ignition and fuel pump fuses and relays are good

When I attempt to start the car everything sounds normal, but engine never starts and the tachometer does not move.

Additionally a soft buzzing noise starts coming from somewhere near the air filter box. The sound can be stopped by removing the "EFI" fuse. Disconnecting the injectors does not stop the sound.

Camry :: 2004 - Rear Suspension Starts To Clunk

Every year about his time for the last six years my 04 rear suspension starts to clunk. Sounds like a spring trying to reseat itself. I will raise the rear end, slide under on my 40 year old car, shake out of the suspension components and won't discern a thing. Never have been able to reproduce that clunking. I suspect it is the spring seats. By April, the clunking will be gone so I think the ambient temp has something to do with the noise. The strut mounts seem to be tight to the body so is the wear in the spring isolator or other components?

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Turn Over For 30 Seconds After Cranking / Engine Starts To Run Roughly Then Die

I have a 2002 F-450 crew cab 2wd automatic 7.3 diesel with 298k on the body and about 120k on a Jasper engine. About a month ago I started it in the morning to let it warm up. Went to make coffee. Came back and it had died. It was low on fuel and I didn't pay attention. Played hell getting it primed back up. Now if I don't let it warm up for twenty minutes it won't run worth a flip and has been dying out. Changed fuel filter. Unplugged ICP. No change. When I crank it it will turn over for about thirty seconds then oil pressure gauge moves, then engine starts to run very roughly. It will die. I repeat a few times. It will eventually start and start and stay running. Blows whitish grey smoke until it warms up. No loss in power till CEL comes on. Still not too much loss. Sometimes it takes a long time to get it running. Sometimes it will die after I get out of the driveway if I don't let it warm up. Truck was serviced maybe 3000 miles ago. No water in fuel. New fuel filter. New air filter. It is a company truck. I work for a small company building cell towers.
