Great video, my 2000 Camry died on me while driving and is making the same exact sound. I’m no mechanic, but can fix small issues and do all maintenance. I always turn to RU-vid if I don’t know how to diagnose or fix something more serious and I love videos like this. Very helpful!!
Average mechanic near me.. "fixes timing belt, good as new" I love how your trying to dig deeper trying to find out what caused such mess. I appreciate people like you
Great video happened to me 98 Camry owner when my car was idling I drove my car to park it in another spot and it was idling and died when I came out my home
Great video! My T belt failed due to not using a Toyota W. Pump or Aisan brand. Pump seized and T belt broke. I went in replaced all the components w/ Toyota or Aisan. Replaced the 2 Oil pump seals along with a Cam shaft seal. Installed a new T Belt. Thanks for making this video!
Very distinctive sound of a broken timing belt vs a non broken high pitch whine. I dont think that small leak of the valve cover could cause a timing belt failure. good job on the cam seal diagnosis, alot of ppl would've just over looked that. That tool is AMAZING!
The minute you said shut off on the road while driving and little resistance when cranking I immediately called it a broken timing belt or warn teeth on the timing belt. Exact thing happened to me in my corolla. Fixed it myself with no problem.
Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics That was my first guess. The timing belt broke. The description in this video of what happened while driving , gave it away. I have a '95 Camry. No worries if my timing belt breaks either. The best car I ever owned.
So i have 01 camary and today i started the car put it in drive and car turned off.. it is making the exact same high pitch sound when you try and start. All i could do bec i was at work was pull the top 2 screws and i noticed when trying to start the timing belt is not moving. What i do not understand is the car has 217k the belt was replaced at 100k and then again at 200k now here i am at 217 with a belt not turning. I cant get it opened up until this weekend to see if it is broke or jumped.. can there be any other reason where the cams wont turn? All other belts are turning so the motor isn't siezed. So frustrated. What reason could a belt go bad wirh just 17k on it? Thanks for reading.
On a lot of cars you can open up the oil fill cap and find the camshaft not spinning. I diagnosed a broken timing belt on an 02 Focus for a buddy on a farm with no tools in 10 seconds, I just opened the oil cap and saw the harmonic balancer spinning, but the camshaft not spinning.
I think you diagnosed the problem when you said the customer did not want to spend a lot of money on the car, well this is what happens if you skimp on maintenance
ManicMechanic007 thank you bud! Was great having you on live the other day! That was you right? Wishing I had more time. Would love to do it again with a little preparation lol thanks again
D K thank you 👍 I try my best, still have my moments like we all do I'm sure, some days worse than others lol all depends on my back to be honest, I know that sounds crazy however if I'm in pain my mood swings lol when I'm feeling good I'm good ;) I'm lucky to have someone that's understanding to say the least. Thanks for the kind feedback I will pass the thanks along. Hopefully she sees this as well
Hey Will, Thanks for the great videos. My back has aggravated me for years until I learned how to do preventative maintenance for it. Lie on your back on the floor and have your wife raise one leg to make a 90° angle or more if you can take it. Your knee must be locked. Stretch for several minutes and alternate legs a few times. This stretches your hamstring. A tight hamstring pulls on your lower back causing debilitating pain if left untreated. I WISH I KNEW HOW EFFECTIVE THIS STRETCH WAS SOONER. PLEASE TRY IT. IT HAS DONE WONDERS FOR ME. Once pain is gone, do abdominal exercises. Strong abdominal muscles will help support weight of upper body causing less work for lower back muscles. I hope this helps you.
Joseph Alchalabi thank you that's great I'm glad you found a way to prevent the pain. I will give these stretches a shot, would do anything to go without pain and worries
My son has the exact same car. The oil pump gasket, which is an oring on this car, is notorious for leaking too. Easy to fix when doing this job. I've also done his valve seals which were hard as a rock causing the car to smoke something terrible on cold start. I understand this a common problem for this engine also. His car only has 110k on the odometer.
The engine looks similar to my 1989 Camry. Crank no start. I’ll try the compression test and go from there. Will the process be the same if the timing belt is the issue? I just don’t know so please be kind 😄 thank you
Had a 2007 Camry and it didn't want to turn back on after driving it. It turned out it was a .35 cent rubber washer/gasket that was cracked in the gas pump. Had to take the back seat out and pull the gas pump. I did a pressure check before anything and it was at 27 then after replacing the rubber washer/gasket it shot up to 60. No problems since.
2005 toyota camry xle crank no start sisters car I'm retired . Milage ? . I'll start with compressin check. Did a 1999 toyota rav same situation non i terference engine. Got gates kit from rockauto. All set. Did 2006 subie sti timing belt with gates kit all set. Working on 199t honda odyssey same situation with bent valves head still at machine shop. Hoping sisters car is non interference. Great video this will definitely will help me out
I have 99 Camry AUTOMATIC 2.4. I hit a tree branch pretty hard. And it killed the car immediately. The fuel pump is working also if I spray starting fluid Into Intake it starts till it burns offs. Is there a emergency fuel shut off?
The Disgruntled Mechanic thank you 👍 most of my sub base is from the time before the bell 🔔 unfortunately. Now that I'm back in it I'm struggling to real em back in lol but it's slowly picking back up thankfully. I'm glad you stopped by it's great hearing from you
Evening #2 of trying to watch this video... I keep getting interrupted! I got lucky guessing timing belt! I had a similar / sort of no-start yesterday on a TDI Jetta. Didn't record the whole thing... customer was lucky. I'll post it end of the month. Back to watching your video! =)
Awesome having you here, lol it was more than a lucky guess 😉When your good your good. Looking forward to seeing it. I got lucky with the 1.9 TDI once going back a few years, crank no start. Cam vs crank was just about perfect however the injector pump jumped! 😳was a luck day for everyone 🎉👍
So my 2000 Toyota Camry died while at light started back up and turned off again thought it was my alternator but I changed it now all it does now us one click noise than battery dies and it doesn’t start any suggestions
I have this car with the 4c engine. I bought brand new gas because I knew I was going to have to let it set for a minute over the winter. Next fall come around and I pulled out the keys to get it started up, I can hear the pump engaging but it has the most electrical sounding crank that I've ever heard. There is absolutely no fuel getting to the engine for some reason but I can smell gas when cranking, like a old flooded carb (I'm aware this is not carb) I'm stumped. Filter? Something electrical? It bugs the crap out of me because I'd I could get it running that would really help my situation right now.
I recently replaced a timing belt for a friend's Camry the timing marks are correct and I rotate the engine and they land in sync.. but the car won't fire.. is it possible for the cam to be 180 out? I did compression stroke tdc and then lined up cam but no dice on firing up
I remember that sound when my timing belt popped on me at a red light, over a year ago. Still have the blue tag imprint from the guy who had to push my car with his truck, on the back of my bumper lol. Then the police pulled me over thinking I actually meant to run that red light. When my timing belt went bad, I was told that all the oil seals had to be repaired too. It was leaking oil into the area with the timing belt. The valve cover was leaking pretty bad from the back too because weak gasket.
Just had 2001 camry do the same thing. Seal at cover was shot. Had a real bugger getting the bolt off the harmonic balancer. Rounded it off trying to break the bolt loose. What's the best way to remove a rounded bolt? Other than that, this video was awesome.
Also look out for the water pump see if it's not leaking because chances are coolant and is leaking and got the belt wet and that'll cause it to snap as well, Even though, you're right the timing belt was never replaced "routine Maintenance"...
I was called to another garage to fix a 2005 300c chrysler. The problems they noticed with the car was Hard or no start, red lightning bolt flashing, no throttle response, headlight stays on, battery and ESP light remaining ON during, most times immediate stalling after starting however, if it doesn't stall there's a rough idle throughout idling as a result a old PCM was replaced with a new one however problem still persisted. I scanned for DTC codes and saw a P0340, P2167, P2166, P2115, P2116, p0603 and more module codes like C2202, U0168, U1414, B1A25, etc. Please, how can I fix these problems? Can you also 🙏 provide me with the wiring diagram to CMP, CKP, APP factory values and how to test them? What should I be looking for in fixing the blinking red lightning bolt limp mode light, how can I reset the throttle without a scanner?
I have 98 Camry. Replaced head gasket. Everything back together. Timing belt good and at top dead center. Cams good and aligned correctly. Compression is decent but not perfect. But the 500,000 mile motor still has life. It’s getting fuel and spark but it will not start. It cranks fine just won’t start. And I’m at a loss. No codes from OBD2
yes for a optimal test, the engine should also be warmed up prior, we should have seen near min 145psi under optimal test should be closer to 178psi is the spec on this vehicle
Thanks for the video. I have a question for my 2000 Camry. It died the other day while we were going down the highway. I thought the fuel pump went out and replaced it, still cranked but no start. Do you think it could be a broken timing belt as in this case? Back in last January, I brought it to a mechanic to change the whole water pump, valve cover gasket, and cam seal to fix this huge oil leak my Camry had. So is it possible that the mechanic didn’t put it back correctly last time, which resulted to it not starting today? Thank you so much.
robinsonsauto Thank you for your reply! I don’t have the fuel pressure gauge nor know where to stick the valve into and check the psi. I have not looked the sparks yet. Just got back checking the white plug (underneath back seat) to the fuel pump in the fuel tank to see if it has any power. There was 5 different connectors on it, but only 1 had power. I don’t know if that’s the way it is or something is wrong there. Also, I tried spraying some starter fluid to the air filter and gave it bit of gas to start it. Engine sounded like it want to start, but the moment I press the throttle, the whole front was shaking and seemed like the engine wanted to die. (Best way I can put this is as if you were releasing the clutch on a manual car and not giving it enough gas) Has this narrowed down what might be the problem that you could think of? Again, thank you so much for your reply!
Son Dao so it starts some with starting fluid? Keep in mind if it's not getting fuel the only sorce is what you sprayed in. Starting fluid evaperates fast. As soon as it's disaped or burned off it's gone and the car will miss and shack from lack of fuel then die unless you keep it running by spraying more in. Is this what your experiencing?
robinsonsauto that could be the culprit since I only gave it three sprays each last 2 seconds or so, and then turned the key. I did not continue spraying while turning the key. I will try spraying while turning and see what happens. I will get back to you soon, thank you!
robinsonsauto Also, I forgot to mention that the OBD2 showed the code “crankshaft position sensor.” I don’t remember what exactly the code number was, and that was all it said on the screen, nothing else.
Had one a few years ago on a friends Hyundai. It was so weak it could be torn by hand. Dispite an invoice from the dealer stating a replacement had been fitted 3 years before at huge cost...
Same sound came on my 2004 Camry, only it had a timing chain not belt. Mechanic replaced the whole engine. I asked about changing the sensors, he said that that sound never means there's sensor issues. Did I get duped?
My Toyota Camry 2007 LE having a headache problem : If I run a few hours , than I I stop to fill the gas tank . When I start the engine , nothing ! No crank , no sound ! But if I wait for the engine to cool down or use the jump cable with other car , the engine start fine ! I already change the battery ! Anyone have any idea ?
Hey I need a little help, I have a 96 camry and my timing belt snap, just put in a new one today but I did everything right and the car doesn't turn over when I start, I couldn't figure it out and I'm stressing bad about it. Please help
I've been searching all day to find a video explaining my problem. I have a 2014 Camry. Won't turn over and just cranks. Cleaned the battery connections which only one needed any maintenance. Getting power from battery. Car just won't start. Frustrated... 😑
um this just happened on my car .. same car . 99 .. i was on the road near my home . i knew what problem was in 10 min .. took off the timing cover at top .. pulled it back a little bit .. could see the timing belt broke .. why didnt you just do that first? ez look see at top cover .. did the job myself .. not too bad
I have the same car car shut off one day there are four things in the distributor coil camshaft sensors two of them I am two sensor you're better off buying a new distributor before that take distributor cap off turn engine over if the distributor inside is turning then your timing belt is fine if it is not turning then guess what timing belt is broke I did this in my yard took me 2 hours myself fired right up
tomhasno Harley ACDelco ARW1201 Li-ion 12V 3/8" Ratchet Wrench w 2 battery, 57 ft-lbs find it on amazing as a kit 2 battery's under 200 It's been good to me, little on the large size though. I would like to try out the Milwaukee before referring this one. However I can't complain. If it wasn't for the length it would get 5stars from me
Thanks for the reply. They all seem to be bulky, I'm sure like everything else they'll get smaller. I want to check out the Milwaukee as well. Thanks again!
Eric Corse around 170k I believe will need to review part 2 footage I can't recall, sorry for not mentioning I can check the work. Order I believe I do mention in later clips, I will be editing later
Hi there, why don't you pull the Valve cover Off, make sure that the - CAM-SHAFT - didn't Break, or valves got Bent, just to Confirm..., Good luck, hope that ENGINE can be Salvage, if not start looking for a new one or a used Engine...
Daniel C. Part 2 will be up shortly 👍 would hate to spill the beans 😊 this job was completed last week just getting around to the edit. Good advice though! Thank you
robinsonsauto, Hey, OH, I see, can't wait for part 2, BTW Thanks 👍 for the Reply, yeah, I hate when people say, but what maintenance, is running fine, & I don't have the Money, which I understand, but up to certain degree, oh well life goes on....
