Iown a 99 Touring series and its a manual. My girlfriend has just purchased an automatic 99 Vienta VXi and it appears to be much quieter engine wise (almost silent). I have also noticed my air conditioning is quite noisy at times and contributes greatly to the noise from my engine however this is not present in the VXi.
well all i can think of is tht coz manual is basically U changing gears it always gettin abit of wear tear...while an automatic uses smoother transmission and changes at the right revs...thts y its sounds less noiser and lets not forget u got some clutch work to do on ur manual!!! i aint no expert jst my opinion i might be wrong and im sure some1 here knows way more than me...bt i rather own a manual over an auto ne day....lets u choose how u want to drive and the fact tht u got more control with the speeds u choose!
Aircon can make a heck of a noise... most likely the clutches opening and stuff too slowly or sumfin. Had the same problem with mine... not worth repairing (costed like 700 bucks and didn't work for long lol)
The manual refers to the engine as being a VVTi engine and shows photos of the rocker cover stating this! I can find no reference to VVTi on my engine, are all 1MZ-FE engines VVTi or was this an option?
Haynes and Gregorys (both of which I have) are based on the 30 series, not the 36 series. The only manual which will come close to being useful is the ACV/MCV36 workshop manual you can buy from Toyota (about $150). But even this manual is wrong as well.
I had purchased the Haynes manual for my 1999 Camry Wagon (same engine), but it did not cover much about the wagons electrics at the back, as the manual is US based. So I contacted Haynes by email, and after some searching on their part, emailed the sections of the manual that was not included.
Is it possible to put a 92-96 Manual 3VZ-FE engine in a Automatic 95 ES300. I'm familiar with Honda swaps, but does anyone know if I will need new engine mounts or will the 3VZ-FE be a direct bolt on? Also, will the wires/ECU be direct bolt/snap ons? I know I will need to maybe get shift boots and cover but I can junk a camry for the parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The differance in a 3vz-fe and pre-mls gasket 1mz-fe when overheating is that you can tell the 1mz is overheating with the temp gauge. The 3vz-fe will simply go from no signs to red-zone as the block takes forever to heat up.
Are there such engines in 1mz-fe that are manual? If the complete swap is around $5k(USD) I'm willing to try it out. I've heard the 3vz-fe(manual) has better acceleration and response compared to the 1mz-fe. Also, the 3vz-fe is lighter from what I've read.
In addition, does anyone know the average paint price(primed/bundled, pure black with clear coat) to cover a car with the surface area of an ES300? I was thinking black(no, not to copy SK or anything) with bronze rims.
hi 1mz-fe is a great engine and unfortunately they didnt come with the manual transmission you will have to do a lot of changes and of course a lot of money too which will ultimately make the project unreasonable
Far from just being rebuilt, the Xtreme Performance series 1 is an OEM replacement that has been fully remanufactured with upgraded parts that have been designed to increase performance, reliability and longevity.
This part is sold at a price based on a rebuildable core being returned to us. The recycled metals and components can assist the manufacturing process keeping our prices to an all time low. This temporary deposit is withheld to ensure that we receive your damaged unit.
How is the core deposit charged? At the time of purchase the core deposit will be added to the customers total. Once the core is received and processed at our facility, the deposit will then be issued back to the customer.
To receive a full deposit your core must be received within 30 days after the delivery of your part. Late fees may be assessed to cores that are returned beyond 30 days from the customers original purchase date. Any extensions must be proved by a sales manager.
Orders are typically refunded back onto the credit card within 1-3 weeks after the core arrives. Check orders will be mailed back. Call to verify arrival if you have not been refunded within your 3 week window.
If there is no core to exchange, in most cases we can just add the deposit amount to the purchase price. In addition, you will only be required to pay a one way shipping fee. In the case that our stock becomes low on a certain core, we may charge an increased amount for the core when there is not one to exchange. In the rare case a core becomes critically low we reserve the right not to sell a product without a core exchange.
On manual transmissions, engines and transfer cases you can send us your core before we send out your unit. By doing this overall shipping may take longer but you will not be required to pay a core deposit just shipping and the price of your part.
The diagram in the shop manual is really not clear and I could not find it in the Haynes manual neither? It's supposed to be connected to "Cylinder 1" - which is on the passenger side - closest to the firewall. But I can't seem to find it on my engine! :(
Anyways - back to the actual location of the O2 Bank 1 Sensor 1 on my engine, it's physically located at the "back" of the engine when you lift open the hood. The "back of the engine" is the side closest to the firewall/passenger's compartment.
It's not easily assessible at all from the top - as you're looking into the engine area. I can only see it by standing on the driver side and peering into the lower back side (between the engine and firewall) of the engine.
It looks like the shape and size of a spark plug with a cable attached to the end of the unit. The cable leads to a connector - which needs to be detached in order to test the resistance. Inside the cable - there are 4 wires.
Also - since the sensor is attached to the exhaust-like pipe - it's normally extremely hot in this area. So - the sensor was almost fused tightly together in the socket. I had to use WD-40 and other "liquid-wrench" - rust penertrating type spray to loosen it. I struggled for more than an hour with an adjustable wrench before it finally came loose.
It's not what I would recommend someone doing it themselves - because it was quite a struggle to physically get access to the O2 sensor unit. Unless - you're really determined to save (and I'm just guessing - $150 parts and $200 labour) - it's not worth the hassle. - I was only determined to do it because people said to leave it for the "pros".
Mike, as a X-mechanic, let me thank you for posting the information that you did. There's going to be 1000 other people looking for that information. By the way, Liquid Wrench works wonders with O2 sensors that are frozen. I know, it recently happened to me with my girlfriend's Sentra. Liquid Wrench was just the trick!
