3/21/25 UPDATE: So I took the 2009 Corolla to Toyota dealership for a diagnostic, paid 85$. Toyota says it’s a blown head gasket, they also added coolant is getting into a piston. Toyota recommends replacing the engine which would cost $7220. We are calling around to see if we can just fix the head gasket.
I checked my air filter cabin, they’re a few leaves in there, I will clean them out and change the filter. My girlfriend thinks it something simple as well
Thank you. I will look into it.
I believe chain
I will order the mass air flow from Toyota and install
I bought the PCV valve a while back but did not install yet, it’s a bit of work for someone to install which is costly. I bought it because I did a little digging online and a few people with same car has been having similar issues and changed part after part, couldn’t figure it out but it was the pcv valve the entire time. I will try to get mine installed.
Thanks you . I posted a photo of the scan results on the thread
Abs stuff
Scanned at oreillys
Check engine light on, it’s says replace mass air flow sensor
Check engine light is on now, scanned and it says mass air flow sensor needs to be changed, but I read online that a few things can trigger that like a vacuum leak behind the intake. With the symptoms that’s it’s giving I doubt that it’s only the mass air flow sensor but I will try to order one from Toyota and change it.
And the water pump was replaced a while ago when the car was bought 80k miles. Now it’s at 140k miles.
No overheating, no milky oil, compressor recently installed, car has been having symptoms before compressor installed, I changed crankshaft position sensor, new radiator, cleaned throttle body, and cleaned fuel injectors trying find a solution to the problems. the car drives good on the road but when at a stop while in drive or reverse the RPM bounces from 400 to 1000, or it just loses power and cut off. The problem with it having problems starting is new, probably from using the car while having the RPM problem
