A Toyota Camry is never going to be fast, ever. Changing the gearing will not help this very basic fact.
My 85 year old father has one
The engine at that mileage should be run gently and the automatic gear box allowed to do its own thing
The engine will still go to max rpm and survive, but not very often and not for long with out a serious failure.
Yes, if the the engine is a steam engine or a diesel engine. The diesel engine smoke should be almost invisible when the engine is in good condition. Electric locomotives are not typically called "engines", but these do not produce smoke.
=Check the crank sensor connections, and sensor condition. It should be located on side of engine closest to the firewall.=
It should be next to the engine dipstick.
The fan should run when the engine reaches a set temperture. If it does not and the engine is overheating, check the thermal relay.
You should inspect a camper's condition to make sure there are no mechanical issues. You should check the engine, brakes, tires, belts, hoses, interior, and body.
When overhauling an engine, you need to consider the condition of the engine block, heads, crank, and camshaft. Any of these may need resurfacing or replacing, and the cost may be high enough to look at a complete replacement engine.
Using engine cleaner when changing oil can be beneficial, as it helps to remove sludge and deposits that accumulate over time. However, it's not always necessary; if your engine is in good condition and regularly maintained, a standard oil change may suffice. If you do choose to use an engine cleaner, ensure it is compatible with your engine type and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ultimately, whether to use it depends on the specific condition of your engine and your maintenance routine.
Yes, the RPM gauge should move when cranking the engine, as it indicates that the engine is being turned over by the starter motor. However, the movement may be minimal or fluctuate depending on the engine's condition and the cranking speed. If the gauge does not move at all, it could suggest a problem with the gauge itself, the vehicle's electrical system, or the engine not cranking properly.
When the check engine light is on the computer has information that you should know. Connect a code scanner to find out why and most likely it will tell you what is causing the rich burn condition.
This condition is called "dieseling" where the engine continues to run on after the ignition key has been turned off. It means that your engine timing is way off ... a complete tune-up of this engine should end this situation.
The oil pressure on a Mercedes-Benz MBE 4000 engine typically should be between 40 to 60 psi when the engine is at operating temperature. During idle, the pressure may drop to around 20 psi but should not fall below that. It's important to consult the specific service manual for your engine, as variations can occur based on load and engine condition. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure proper engine health.
It shows that your battery is in workable condition and your alternator is charging as it should.
