Good morning; i have a toyota carina 2 vehicule petrol engine. At times when i turn off the engine it continues to "rattle" and make as though it is "choking". this goes on for a few seconds before stopping. my mechanic says the kick starter is soon getting bad. Another mechanic says it is the carburator. who is right and who is wrong and how can i repair this fault definitively. Andy

Hi Lucas, What engine is fitted? If the engine is petrol, the rattling sound you have heard could well be an effect named 'pinking.' Its usually caused by the ignition timing being out of adjustment and related to the octane rating of the fuel. The ignition timing is set with a stroboscopic timing light. the ignition timing is set at 10 degrees before top dead center. Regards John

If it is a 'squealing' noise it's probably the alternator/power steering drive belt. Before you turn on the engine in the morning, lightlt smear or spray some oil on the inside of the drive belt to lubricate it. If the squealing stops/disappears, then that's the fault ..
That squealing noise can be caused by an incorrectly tensioned belt, or a worn belt. Replacement is the only option.
The other frightening sounds can best be described as 'rattles' or 'tapping'. When a car stands overnight all the oil drains back into the sump (oil/pan).
There are two things (usually) that can be cause the rattle/tap:
1. Because the oil hasn't been pumped around the system, at start up worn big end bearings can rattle and tap on the crankshaft until the oil 'fills the gaps'. The tapping/rattling goes away as the engine warms and oil is pumped around the lubricating system.
A 'bottom end tapping' is a symptom of worn big ends (they are bearings at the bottom of the piston and fit around the crankshaft).
2. A rattle/tapping from the top of the engine can either be a worn camshaft or 'lazy tappets'. Again, when the engine warms and oil gets to the camshaft and tappets (also called 'hydraulic lifters) the noise will disappear.
If your car has this rattling/tapping noise - identify whether it is coming from just under the rocker box (ie the camshaft/tappets..) or the bottom end of the engine (big end bearings).
If the noise is coming from the top of the engine, try an oil change with a can of thick 'additive' included. A lazy tappet (lifter) isn't too much to worry about. A worn camshaft will affect the performance of the engine, though continue to do its job. An oil change with an additive included may help in quitening things down.
A bottom end tap/rattle (or 'knock') - the sooner that is sorted out the better.
Hello, my car is Toyota carina ii, at the morning when i want to turn it on i found difficulties, i try more and more and the sound of the engine is wired i push to give fuel more and more then it turns on, but if i stop pushing the fuel giver then it turns off, this problem causes when i turn off the car for 6 or 7 hours.
If your vehicle is petrol powered, something, most likely the starter motor, is drawing too much current and robbing the ignition circuit. Oce started the engine will continue to start all day long, untill next morning. Have the starter motor checked out & make sure your engine oil is not too heavy for your climate too. It would be an idea to have your battery discharge rate tested while you're at it.
It should be the same, the only difference is the front suspension will have heavier coil springs to cope withe the diesel engine.
Rear will be identical as long as its off the same year car.
