This video was a huge blessing to me and my wife while on vacation. Our 2009 Toyota Camry kept idling very poorly and stalling. We were sitting on a parking lot 256 miles from our destination not knowing what to do. After watching this video and following the instructions we were back on the road enjoying our vacation. We prayed and God answered our prayers with this helpful video. These steps given on this video really works. Our car is running great. Thank you for making this video available. Blessings!
@@wagonkit Got the same car, find myself putting a quart every week or so. But I don't think it's my rings, although it could contribute to it. I think it's my valve cover gasket and/or bad valve seals. Reason for gasket is cause of burnt oil around the engine head. As for valve seals, when I first start my car up, I see a light blue smoke. It goes away after like 10 - 15 seconds, no smoke when driving.
@@Odamate Yeap, sounds like valve seals if thats what it is doing. You can also change the PCV valve too, sometimes it will stick. That and the valve cover gasket are easy fixes. Valve seals, maybe not so much. You could try using a seal conditioner...
Great video was looking forward to it as you described exactly what my 07 Camry did, but wish you could have shown how to remove the filter box/ throttle body itself as that's what I was looking forward to seeing otherwise thanks for the info!
My wife likes her Toyota 2007 she has had 3. 1996, 2002, 2007. I totaled out the1996 as it spun out on an on-ramp after a rain. Now I drive her 2002 Camry.
That engine (2AZ-FE) is known to burn large quantities of oil. At 200K+ that burn off could be causing the cat converter to be clogged thus idling rough and lost of power.
My car has 254,000 miles and it's starting to shake and lose power, specially with the a/c on. I drive gravel roads every day so I'm gonna take the throttle body out and clean it really good.
My 2008 Toyota Solara has been running sluggish lately. It doesn’t stall or hesitates , it’s just not as responsive as it used to be when I first got it. Do you think that by cleaning the throttle body will remove this issue? Thanks and great video btw.
@@sierracurtis110 how did you get if fixed? Did you replace the oil pan gasket? We took it to Toyota about 5 plus years ago and complained about the issue and they didn't do anything about it. I took it to a local mechanic about a year or two ago and he said it's normal and he wouldn't recommend me do anything about it yet. So i don't know.
Yeah my 07 drinks a lot of oil too, it’s a issue with the piston rings on these model years. I Repleced the pcp and it did nothing. But oil’s cheap so I just keep a eye on it
my 2007 camry is intermittently idling high, it will sometimes accelerate from idle, and will hesitate to decelerate when i take my foot off the gas. Could this be the problem? ive had it for a year, it now has 86000 miles and the air filter was changed a few months ago. this problem just started this week
Check your iac sensor and clean it. That measures idling when throttle is closed, could be too open allowing more air than usual to flow into the engine
Got it fixed! Turns out it was the pcv hose. I guess it dry rotted and when I was moving the valve cover I guess it finally gave out. My local part houses didn't have it so I had to go to the dealership. It only cost $23.50 so it wasn't bad. The car runs a million times better now. I can now run my AC at red-lights and stop signs.
u can also put a screw driver on the side of it and it will stay open ps do not spray the cleaner directly into the throttle body spray it on a brush or rag and clean it
Fixing cars and a dad bod. I had to stop and remind myself this isn’t pornhub. FOCUS GIRL! Us country women think differently 🤣😂 Seriously though, thanks for the video! Got mine all cleaned and she’s running great again

@@iitzpepsii damn dawg you seem to know your shit , RUclips doesn’t have dms do you have a Reddit account where I can ask you a few questions? I have a 2013 Camry & It has a very rough idle , I want to minimize that horrendous sound as much as possible & a few other things!!

If you have never done it and you’re at 230k, I would 100% look at that immediately. I just cleaned my 1997 BMW’s throttle and it made a huge difference at 147k. Dont ask me why, but I cleaned/changed everything else thinking it was an electrical issue. At least $300 wasted when it was just a the throttle plates. All I needed was a $7 can of TB cleaned 🤦🏽♂️ My dad has a 09 Camry and I’m going to clean it for him. He’s getting high and rough idle with AC on at red lights. Good luck friend!
@@master6435 the oil level was full. @Richard I cleaned the Throttle body and Mass airflow sensor and it hasn’t died since and idle has normalize. Thanks for the video.
It's an engine cover, not a valve cover and why don't you have a shirt on? You should always disconnect the negative battery terminal and isolate it with a rag.

Great video, i finally cleaned my throttle body and she's running great. Thank you
I need my 2010 @ 160k cleaned. Idle at 500-400 a lot recently n dies. So fkn irritating. Been trouble-shootin-n-shittin…😂
Thanks dude! I just came across your video, very informative!! Got same car with 282k miles on it still runs like dream... Nice maintenance!!
thanks! wow hope my car will go as long as yours, and further!
Got 08 wit 270k!! Any prob with oil consumption??
yeah... also curious about your guys' oil consumption. I have 68k on mine, and change the oil as soon as it looks dirty...

I have the same vehicle with 33000 miles. Thay r the best car in the planet.
Smooth buttery ride
Thanks wish u could have gone more into detail regarding the hoses & clamps that you have to disconnect to get to the throttle body.
Great video was looking forward to it as you described exactly what my 07 Camry did, but wish you could have shown how to remove the filter box/ throttle body itself as that's what I was looking forward to seeing otherwise thanks for the info!
There are other videos that show how to remove everything. Pretty simple process.
My wife likes her Toyota 2007 she has had 3. 1996, 2002, 2007. I totaled out the1996 as it spun out on an on-ramp after a rain. Now I drive her 2002 Camry.
Thanks! Going to do the same to my car. It’s been hesitating and some time lurch forward on pick up speed.
Did cleaning the throttle body take care of your issue? I just bought a 2010 Camry that’s having the same issues.
That engine (2AZ-FE) is known to burn large quantities of oil. At 200K+ that burn off could be causing the cat converter to be clogged thus idling rough and lost of power.
Ist a problem to remove the whole TB and clean it outside then put back?
My car has 254,000 miles and it's starting to shake and lose power, specially with the a/c on. I drive gravel roads every day so I'm gonna take the throttle body out and clean it really good.
How.much does it cost for throttle body cleaning?
How did you get the throttle body to stay open
Ist a problem taking the whole TB out and clean it?
My 2008 Toyota Solara has been running sluggish lately. It doesn’t stall or hesitates , it’s just not as responsive as it used to be when I first got it.

Thanks and great video btw.
Its
Try doing a tune up...usually does it
Does this car have oil burning issues? I have a 2007 Camry and it’s known to burn oil.
My 2008 eats alot. I'm around 200k miles and I use about one quart a week.
My 2007 was going through oil like no ones business. Check the valve cover gasket and the oil pan gasket. It solved my problem!
@@sierracurtis110 how did you get if fixed? Did you replace the oil pan gasket? We took it to Toyota about 5 plus years ago and complained about the issue and they didn't do anything about it.

Its 07 to 2012

At park the car idols up and down??
A step by step in how you removing it and taking it apart would be nice.
After I cleaned mine, check engine is now on. Is that normal?
Try disconnecting the battery if no good take it to AutoZone put on scanner

What ended up being the problem?
@@Ibebingshillin never bothered getting it fixed, it doesn't really happen anymore, but I suspect the throttle body valve needed to be cleaned
@@Ibebingshillin btw I have the same car but it has 167,000 miles on it now
I just did this to mine and now it runs a million times worse. It revs up real high and runs rough and then dies out. Any idea what went wrong?

@@tylerrobinson739 which pcv hose?
@@konradjaskolski4818 its behind the valve cover on the passenger side.
thank for the video
Thanks , dude
How did you get the butterfly to stay open?
Take a long pry bar or a cane and push the gas pedal to the floor with one end and wedge between the driver seat cushion.
yeap broom stick trick, or piece of wood on the gas pedal. engine in the on, but not running, position.
u can also put a screw driver on the side of it and it will stay open ps do not spray the cleaner directly into the throttle body spray it on a brush or rag and clean it
Or you can use a brick

@@juancamberosg.593 eew. Go away.
@@qbanchk3 come on
no muking around great
How often should I do that?
most car manufacturers recommend u do it around 75k but I would recommend cleaning it out once every 30-40k to get the best performance out of ur car take my advice and ur car will run forever if u maintain it I have a 2014 camry se with the 2AR-FE one of the most reliable engines in the world when buying spark plugs and ignition coils for these cars only use denso or NGK spark plugs and ignition coils to prevent miss fires and premature wear as for replacement parts such as starter - alternator - ac compressor I highly recommend using only denso because they are made to replace OEM parts Wich are the factory parts that came on the car when bought new - as for belts i highly recommend a company called Gates they make really good serpentine and pulley belts u can get a timing belt & a water pump kit with gasket included for $150 with tax u will not find a better deal for the buck if ur headlight are fading away u can restore them if they have been exposed in the sun for a long time or u can buy brand new after market ones anywhere from $160-240 depending what kind u want and wich site I prefer Amazon or eBay
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA DIRECTLY UNLESS ABSOLUTELY A MUST U WILL BE PAYING 4x THE PRICE
they wanted to charge me almost $700 bucks for a new set of headlights I got brand new ones on Amazon for $200
when it comes to brakes for these cars I highly recommend the PowerStop z17 brake kit comes with drilled slotted rotors and calipers both front and rear and a set of evolution brake pads for front and rear these brake pads are amazing for stopping power and long lasting last set I had on my car lasted me almost a full 3 years and the price is very affordable at $450 for the full kit
when it comes to coolant I highly recommend using the Zerex pink / red coolant Wich is recommended by Toyota / Lexus and it has a very high life span on it
as for air and cabin air filters I know most of them say replace every 10-30k miles depending on the brand but if u want to get the most out of ur car and inhale fresh air I recommend buying the K&N washable filter with the self cleaning kit for $60 and u replace it twice a year and I’ll be fine
as for oil and oil filters a lot of people have different options / opinions but I would highly recommend using mobile one oil and oil filters to get the best performance out of ur vehicle oil changes should be done usually every 3-5k if ur running full synthetic if ur running just conventional oil get it done at 3k and ull be fine
tire pressures for this vehicle is set at 30psi FYI it says it on the door panel
once ur car gets to about 70-80k I recommend cleaning out ur throttle body from carbon build up or u can buy a brand new one if u want for around $170-250 on most sites especially Amazon and eBay - pay attention where u buy prices can be 3-4x more for instance a good quality bosh throttle body for this camry u can get on 1A auto for $170 but autozone will try to sell u a duralast one for $900 😂 do research before u buy
and always remember always buy denso - or NGK spark plugs and coils and starters and ax compressors if possible

does it have a MAF sensor? Also, is it an electric throttle body or run by wire?
Yes and yes.
I think this is wrong with mine. I changed the plugs and the coils and still dies. Over 230k miles
If you have never done it and you’re at 230k, I would 100% look at that immediately. I just cleaned my 1997 BMW’s throttle and it made a huge difference at 147k.

What is the oil level at when it dies?
@@master6435 the oil level was full. @Richard I cleaned the Throttle body and Mass airflow sensor and it hasn’t died since and idle has normalize. Thanks for the video.
@@jp2eezy not my video just own the same vehicle but need to clean throttle body
Are you using aftermarket if so thats your problem only buy from dealer
Do you know why after i cleaned it my rpm it over 1500rpm
is this after a cold start? if so.. let the engine warm up and it'll go back down
Idle relearn
Google how to relearn the idle on a camry.
It's an engine cover, not a valve cover and why don't you have a shirt on? You should always disconnect the negative battery terminal and isolate it with a rag.
