Yaris idles loudly at red lights and when making sharp turn

[auxmike]

He used to use the handle "grumpyfromNH". He's relabeled himself. Same guy, same TIRED old rant....
Until I bought my Yaris and learned a LOT here about oil filters, I ALWAYS used orange Fram brand filters. Guess what? Never lost an engine. ALSO, I would buy the cheap PepBoys Pro Line oil!
Go figure...

when my car was stock, the engine was super quiet. i've never had a problem. not sure what could be causing the rough run.

[Red Horse]

mine is vibrating a little on stops

[mike_d]

I also get some kind of vibrating when sitting at a stop light with my foot on the brake. If i have it in park then i don't hear it at all. It sounds like something is rattling or loose in the engine area.

[Benggolf2]

Do you guys have lightened or underdrive crank pulleys?
Does the noise stop when you depress the clutch (in case your car is equipped with a manual transmission)?

[mike_d]

Mine is all stock and an automatic.

[PHXDEMON]

Mine does the same thing when I'm stopped after the motor is warmed up. The idle drops really low and it kind of shudders. I have heard the ECU makes that motor do that intentionally for fueal economy reasons.

Well if you blew over 6 engines in ten years using the "best" american oils and OEM filter how would U feel about the subject. No american major brands labeled synthetic are synthetic. Period. My wifes previously wonderful rav 4 is DEAD in 3 years with only 67K miles using TOYOTA THAI denso filters and genuine toyota oil and Mobil 5000. F this. IDK if you blow you motor. Go ahead. No skin off MY teeth (= <

You must be either doing a poor job of caring for your family cars, or just having REAL bad luck!
6 motors in ten years? Whew....
You're the first person I know who's killed ANY Toyota vehicle in three years flat.
Hope you have better luck in the future , sir.

You can blame the Toyota service center and their Genuine parts – that’s what was used on my wife’s Rav-4. So i guess the Toyota Dealer does a poor job maintaining my cars in my area ... OR its the downrated US API/ILSACGF4 oil that Porsche, Audi, BMW, VW do not allow anywhere near their vehicles ... I saved my Yaris from the brink with Motul 8100 and WIX

Geez Silky - clearly this is the driver and not the engine or oil. I have NEVER blown an engine in 26 years of driving.

Grampy, you blew that many motors? This says more about YOU then the oil.

There are MILLIONS that have not blown so many oils, and they use the "cheap" American brands too.

I would suggest pouring the oil into the valve cover and not the exhaust pipe. It don't get into the engine from the exhaust pipe, I promise!

Does anyones idle go down a little bit then come back up when they turn on things like the rear defrost, turn the blower on, etc?

The cars are parked outside and get many a 10 deg F cold start in the Winter. Sometimes -15 F. That can't help.
