Scion - Xa :: 2005 - Vibration Sounds When Stopped At A Light Or Parked


Mar 30, 2013

My 05' scion xa has always had a problem with vibration and some vibration sounds when stopped at a light or parked but both go away when i put the vehicle in neutral. It got so bad at one point the seats would shake, i took it to toyota and they replaced all the engine mounts. The vibration isn't as bad but very noticeable. Could it be the A/C? The problem exists with or w/out the A/C on including the heat.

Avalon 2005-12 :: Engine Knock - Strong Vibration Stinking Bad Sounds

This morning I went to start my avy and it ran poorly for about 30 sec (strong vibration stinking bad sounds) than started knocking loudly. It ran great when I parked it. I read that it could happen from poor quality gas, which I got gas the last time at a super run down gas station that still had rolling digits for the price I also used seafoam in the tank, could that be why? I took it to the dealer already which is about 30 miles after the car was warm it ran great.

Ford - Explorer :: Sounds Like Fireworks Suddenly When Stopped At A Light?

2007 Ford Explorer, 51,000 gentle miles...

Stopped at a light and suddenly it sounded like fireworks were exploding overhead! The car was acting completely normal.

Light turned, about 15 minutes to ride home, just heard an occasional pop here and there.

Got home. Turned off the car and walked up the driveway. Suddenly the popping happened again. Again it was like fireworks going off, or thunder.

Scion - Tc :: 2005 - CEL Light Came On For Code P0456 And High Engine Idle

Recently my 2005 scion tc CEL light came on and I diagnosed p0456. At the same time when I turn the car on in the morning it idles at 2k RPM for about 3 minutes and then the idle goes down to around 900. If I park and return to the car within 2 hours the idle stays down but if I wait it goes back to 2k and I have to wait a few minutes for it to come down. My question is whether this is related to p0456. What could be wrong and how do I fix it?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 - Rattle And Vibration At Idle Only Occurs With The Truck In Gear And Stopped

My F-150 has developed a rattle and vibration at idle that only occurs with the truck in gear and stopped (with the brake depressed.) The noise appears to be coming from the front of the truck, perhaps from the driver's side (though it's difficult to tell while sitting in the cab).

Before I go crawling around underneath with my son holding the brake while the truck is in drive--I would sure like to know where it might be best to point the flashlight.

Scion - XD :: 2009 - Sounds Like A Diesel Engine When Idling D Or P

I have a 2009 Scion xD and when I am idling in D or P, my car sounds like a diesel engine. It makes this propeller kind of sound on the driver side and it is worse when I am stopped or idling, but does not go away when I am driving. It has about 76,000 miles and I moved from AZ to CA, not that I think that makes much of a difference, but the high heat in AZ can cause problems for cars. The heater core went out in the fall of last year and I just had all 4 struts replaced. I really don’t want to have to spend too much more on the car to be honest and hope this is just a simple issue.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2005 - Driver Side Low Beam Headlamp Barely Light

I have a 2005 Toyota Echo that has just recently developed a problem with the driver side low beam headlamp. When I hit the light with my hand then it comes to normal but when I switch off the car engine and restart then again no lowbeam lights.

I thought one of my bulbs had burned out and when check the bulb so I found a small piece broken in bulb glass so I replace it with new one and then.

The one working was went off and the one bulb replace start working then I took off both bulb and swap with each other and now..

When the lights are on low-beam the bulbs barely light and if I switch to high-beam only driver side works and passenger side no low/high beam.

Both parking and turn-signal works perfectly However. Somebody suggested that the ground wire of headlight could be damage/faulty.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Low Idle And Vibration While Stopped At A Light

My wife's 2009 Corolla S has 107,000 miles. Early on it developed a low idle and vibration while stopped at a light. It was idling about 600 rpm after it warmed up. It never stalled but occasionally vibrated. After doing some research I found some were having success cleaning the throttle body and throttle plate. I did that along with changing the spark plugs. At that time I disconnected the battery to reset the computer. She has put about 2,000 miles on it since then and it never idles below 800 rpm. The vibration hasn't been back either.

I believe it was the throttle body/ plate cleaning and disconnecting the battery that resets the computer that fixed it. The plugs still looked good at 105 K miles, but I had new ones so I put them in. I bought a can of Berryman b12 choke & carb cleaner and sprayed a little on the throttle body and plate and then sprayed some on a rag and wiped down the body and plate. It was quite dirty.

Nissan - Hesitation - Altima :: 2005 - Stalling When Stopped At Light

05 Nissan Altima CVT 91k was running great until last week, it stalled while sitting at a traffic light, restarted the engine and ran fine but check engine sign lit up. Today at 60-70 mph engine hesitated once but was noticable, and took 3 cranks to get it to start after re-fuelling. Plugs were replaced at 55k, air filter is clean and was new 4 months ago anyway. Autozone read P0335 and P0725 something about a crankshaft and engine timing sensors?

Scion - Tc :: 2012 - A/C Stopped Working - Radiator Fan Not Getting Power

So I have a scion tc 2012 and the A/C no longer works properly. The AC blows lukewarm air (seems to just blow whatever air is outside) when I press the AC button, it doesn't kick on the compressor. The heat works fine. I took it to a shop and they tested the pressure and said it was good. They can plug in a scan tool and make my car blow cold air but it won't work without the scantool, the scantool can kick on the compressor. They checked all fuses and relays. They tried replacing A/C amplifier and they tried replacing (A/C switch?). Now they want to charge my $350 to fix drier and evaporater. If that's not it they want to replace the compressor.

This is getting expensive fast, and they haven't even actually diagnosed the problem! Also the radiator fans don't seem to power on either.

Honda - Accord :: Vibration Noise Every Few Minutes When Parked In Driveway?

My daughter's 02 Honda Accord is making a sound like a phone on vibrate every few minutes as it sits parked in our driveway. Not sure if this is pertinent but the driveway is sloped so the rear is higher than the front. I've search everywhere to try to locate the sound (thinking it was a cell phone left in the car) but it seems to be coming from under the middle to rear of the car. Could it be the gas tank pump going spastic?

My 08 center brake light stopped working. I already bought a new one and my mechanic will install it. He said some of those LED brake light needs to be reprogrammed after installation at the dealership but he is not sure until he get it installed. Does the LED assembly needs to be programmed after installation?

Avalon 2005-12 :: Steering Wheel Vibrates When Stopped With Brakes At Red Light

For as long as I remember (40000+ KM), I've noticed that my steering wheel vibrates when stopped with the brakes and in D. ie, while stopped at a red light. It immediately goes away when I lift off the brake or put the car into neutral.

The vibration isn't crazy. I can only feel it through the steering wheel or touching around it. However, it is certainly very noticeable and also audible.

Have this vibration through the steering wheel? (Avalon V6) I'm hoping this isn't a defect in the car...

Venture :: 1999 Engine Low Idle And Stalls When Stopped / Parked After Driving On Highway

I have a 1999 Venture Van. The engine has a low idle and stalls when stopped/parked after driving on the highway for 10 minutes or longer. Whenever I drive it to the train station in the morning to go to work, it dies as soon as I park it. It will start up again fine right away tho. I drive 10 minutes on the highway.

The engine light is on, but goes off sometimes for months before coming on again. I've brought it to at least 3 mechanics and they can't get the light to stay permanently off, and say to just drive as-is. But that still leaves me with the low idling problem. It doesn't always stall, but the potential is always there, as you can hear the low rpms threatening, and dread stopping at a light.

I had the engine light interpreted as P0122 TP SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW. The mechanic replaced the Throttle Positioning Sensor. Engine light came on again 2010. Mechanic did a Computer system check/smoke test. Diagnosed a Leak in evap system so they installed a new gas cap and vent valve. 2 months later, engine light went on again.

New plugs, spark wires, fuel filter, fuel treatment, fuel line, gas cap, vent valve.

1 month later light is on again, and low idling persists. I put alot of $ into the problem with no solution. Some mechanics say the engine light has no relation to the low idling.

Wife wants me to get rid of it, but the Van is in great condition except the low idling/stalling problem. I don't care if the light stays on, as long as the low idling/stalling stops. Can't I just ask a mechanic to increase the idling rpm?

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 1999 - Jerking And Stopped After Doing Roughly 50 Kms

I recently took my vitz 1999 for servicing. It came back with problem. After doing roughly 50Km it started jerking and stopped all together.. i took it to the same mechanic who then eventually tracked the problem to the engine temperature sensor. When the sensor switch is in place, the car stops every 4Km and has to be restarted. However when the sensor switch is removed from the engine block the car runs without stopping. If i place back the sensor switch the car stops every 4 km . I have changed virtually every part but problem persists.
