HOW TO TELL IF OIL PUMP IS GOING BAD ON 1996 TOYOTA CAMRY??

I HAD ONE OF THE PROBLEM SOLVER EXPERTS SAY A BAD OIL PUMP COULD CAUSE ALARM SYSTEM TO GO OFF AND SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING, BUT NEED SOME MORE CLUES ON A OIL PUMP GOING BAD. ARE THERE ANY SUGGESTIONS WHAT SIGNS TO LOOK FOR WITH OIL PUMP?? I DID FIND OUT THAT ACCORDING TO MY MANUAL THERE'S A TOGGLE SWITCH AT THE KICK PANEL AND TURNING THE SWITCH TO ON POSITION AT SAME TIME MIGHT GIVE ALARM BACK ITS MEMORY AND CAR SHOULD CRANK.

Low oil pressure will not cause the alarm to set and shut the engine down, usually if there is a switch turning it to off disables the alarm and lets the car start. If the oil light on the dash goes off when the engine is cranking or after it starts chances are that there is no problem with the oil pump. I need to know what the problem is exactly at this time, does the engine turn over but not fire up or does it do nothing at all when trying to start it? Do the dash lights turn on when the key is on? Is there an alarm sound from the horn when trying to start it?

SOURCE: 1988 toyota camry 2.0 engine (timing)

Pull #1 spark plug and rotate the engine until you hear air rush out of the cylinder, (plug the hole with your finger if you can), then look at the timing mark, it will be close to TDC

This is a Direct Fault Caused by the Alarm System Starter Kill. Do you have an Alarm Override Switch???? You may need the Dealership to Reset the Alarm if not.

To get to the Window:

Disconnect the control link and remove the handle.

Remove Door Trim with Inner WeatherStrip:
Remove the two screws from the armrest.
Insert a screwdriver between the trim retainers and the door panel to pry it loose.  Eight hidden fasteners. 1 top left side of door.
1 right side about same height as top of armrest. 1 (each side) about same height as bottom of armrest. 1 on each corner bottom. 1 bottom in middle.  1 on left side between bottom corner and the previous at about lower armrest height...

Remove Service Hole cover.

Remove the bolt.
Pull out the division bar.

You now have access to the Power Window Regulator; possible replacement of motor etc.

What type of 'things' have you tried for fixing the window and restoring operation?

Your carb may need cleaning. I had the same problem with my Astra. If not then there is too much air getting into the engine.

SOURCE: No spark, 1988 Toyota Camry 3SFE 4cyl, 5 speed.

there is no crank sensor on this vehicles 2.0L. If you have power to the coil, new coil, cap and rotor try this if not done yet>>>Unplug coil power first....Try pulling off the distributor cap, and make sure the rotor is spinning with the cam...If this fails to spin, inspect the entire distributor assembly. If it passes, Inspect all the power circuit and wiring to the dist assembly, if ok possible ecu. i recommend having a mechanic check it out!! Hopefully this helps...please rate...thanks

Factory security system intermittently going off. Wondering if it is a bad sensor or switch. Does the door LED flash a code? 8 long flashes followed with normal short flashes.

CAR ALARM ISSUES


It can be any of the car doors not got properly locked or the door is locked but the switch is not sensing the door locked. Open and close each door again properly.

Or else its problem with any of switch wiring getting in contact with alarm wiring causing it to happen.

And last thing alarm connections need to be inspected. It's getting short somewhere in between.


There are few help links with solutions, to troubleshoot these types of problems. I suggest going through these links.

WHAT IS A FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

Power streeing oil leeking under from car

Your Camry uses ATF ( Automatic Transmission Fluid). Your going to have to get the leak repaired, common cause is the high pressure hose is leaking and soon it will fail 100% and your going to lose your power steering. Worst is the ATF is flammable and if it hits a hot spot like the exhaust manifold, it will catch fire. Good luck and hope this helps, and don't let the fluid get too low. Low fluid in your steering pump will cause damage.

Oil leak problem with 1996 toyota camry

I am going to see a mechanic - my trusted mechanic who does not nickel and dime me - to see what this is. I have the same problem and he told me he has never done this job on a Camry and is unsure. Given the miles, he has suggested that maybe it is time to part ways with the car. I am going to ask him if he will put some florescent dye in it and let me drive it for 50-100 mi and then check to see where the leak is and fix it. Let you know what happens. I have to try, the car is solid.

My 1996 Toyota Camry has an oil pump leak

Keep an eye on the oil level get this repaired as soon as you can and remember that the oil of a car does two things not only does it lubricate but it also takes internal heat away from the parts that are being lubricated. Friction cause heat heat causes bearing fatigue so make sure you get this repaired as soon as possible and keep an eye on that level. Don't over fill that is just as bad as not having enough oil in it.
