Yaris idles loudly at red lights and when making sharp turn - Toyota Yaris Forums

ebowers83 · 01-30-2009, 01:25 PM

I've noticed recently that my Yaris has been idling louder than usual when Im either stopped, like at a red light, or if I make a sharp turn. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I currently have 55,000 miles on my car.

Thanks!

Is the RPM raising or just a loud engine noise at regular idle?

AlexNet0 · 01-30-2009, 08:43 PM

mine does the same, I have 53k on my 07 LB, doesnt sound rough enough to bother me, but it will be interesting to see if it has lead to any trouble for anyone. RPM doesnt rise, it drops around 1-200 rpm and rises right back to normal on mine

any more info you can offer?

doesn't need to be specific, just need some more symptom/behavior stuff before throwing out possibilities....

I noticed... but I usually just keep it to myself..

Mine does it all the time when I back out of my driveway and get off the car to get something in the house and leave it on park.

I'm sure all the guys noticed.
BUT, we're gentlemen here and treat the females with respect so they will return....

Not to mention, there's nothing more embarrassing than hitting on or commenting on a married woman on this forum!
Decorum, fellas.....
She looks about 25, I'd say.

It's also embarrasing to hit on a guy who posts a picture of a pretty woman as his avatar. But then, we have now gone off topic of the original post.

Maybe you got that recall prob where #1 the EGR pipe falls apart, or, #2 where the front exhaust pipe melts inside and closes off? Can you expand on your original comment? What do you mean by idles loud? Do you mean the exhaust rumble is loud at idle or there is a metal clanking/ticking?

I found when I was using the service replacement toyota filter ( i think was defective) the VVTi would put the cam phasing in a wierd place and have a loud "phartcan" idle.

mine idles kinda loud too, red light etc. i had a thread up about feeling some shaking by the pedals.

As for sharp turn i haven't noticed yet, it's hard to hear.

hopefully this could be the faulty EGR recall thing.

But, our yarises have "loud engines" and poor soundproofing so we hear alot of noise from engine bay.

I was worried for my young engine, but alot of people here have the same noise.........

m911gt · 02-03-2009, 12:19 PM

when my car was stock, the engine was super quiet. i've never had a problem. not sure what could be causing the rough run.

Has Toyota sent out notices to those affected? Is this an '07 problem only?
