Ignition Issues
Hello everyone!
I've been having issues with my Yaris Sedan 2007. When starting the car, the ignition is not "clean"... it sounds/feels like the process was going to fail (don't know a common word to describe it) and you would have to try again. This mainly in the morning, after the motor has been turned off for the most time, and it's cold. The car starts normally if only a few hours have passed (say 3-5 hours) after the last ignition. I took the car to the dealer and they told me it was the battery (I didn't believe that was the problem). They changed it. The next morning, the same problem happened. What's the problem? is it the oil? spark plugs? something left loose? Don't know what to do and certainly I don't trust the dealer. Have any ideas? Thanks |

the warranty is good at any dealer.. you can bring it to a different dealer for the service

Most dealerships have a fuel injection/fuel induction service. I would have both performed. You will be amazed in the world of a difference it makes. If there is enough interest I can post a DIY on how to do this service at home. But if you are using gasses like rotton robbie, costo, arco, valero etc. I would suggest decarbonizing your engine before paying anyone for a diagnostic. Since the cost of diagnostic may be the same price as the service to begin with.

I've had that issue before when I went to start it.
It happened after I bought a full tank of cheap fuel (i.e. fuel that was priced very cheaply all week long). After that tank finished, I filled up at a different petrol station and the problem disappeared. I put it down to the bad fuel. |
