After i washed my camry 2003, american specs, automatic gear, its engine sound has inceased a lot, especially at starting. I purchased it only 2 weeks back. By chance the weather is cloudy these days. Can it make difference in engine sund.Please help me.
Moisture by itself won't affect the sound of the engine. If you happened to spray water on the engine where it contacted the exhaust system, you may have a crack in the exhaust that needs to be attended to. If you did not wash the engine off, it may just be a coincidence that this happened after the wash job. Listen under the hood and on both sides of the car to see if you can find an exhaust leak.
Hello
The
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically
controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control
Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or
other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a
record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this,
like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor
for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read
these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a
special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform
the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s)
DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED
THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT
MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for
correct spec for your make and engine type.
