After changing the oil/filter, I had a noticeable hesitation and lack of acceleration when accelerating for the first 1/2 mile that I drove the car. No service engine light came on. The car only has 8,000 miles on it, and this has never happened before since the car has been in use for the last year and a half. .....? Maybe it was a fluke? I'm just stumped bc this has never happened before. Any ideas?
OP.
There was no reason to post your unwarranted concern.
A random, poor running engine that self corrected and didn't return?
That is just and instance of temporary poor running and operation
Likely a gulp of watery alcohol, from being on the ramps.
or a stubborn VVT mechanism. - But, it went away and didnt return
But, Why even mention it? Where is the concern?
And to the Forum: Why 6 pages on this thread.
Speaks more to the general boredom and the want to harass posters around here than much anything else.
Now I have done oil changes on a Toyota Yaris were I had insufficient pressure continuing for many minutes.
Even with a drive into town and back. Engine was a high specific output yamaha-aided design DOHC VVTi inline four.
I removed the filter and put back the removed "dirty one" and the horrendous racket went away..
Then I repeated the installation .of the "new" filter after rinsing it with some fresh oil.
And the insufficient oil pressure indication occurred again!
Then I put the "dirty" filter back on and - all was well !
I had PROVED that it was a poor flowing NEW oil filter. A Genuine Toyota Part.
Made in THAILAND DENSO Toyota service part. Not the " Made in Japan" Toyota filter that came off.
I got harassed to the high hills for my thread on this.
They hadn't seen this problem. They didnt want to recognize it.
Even though I had PROVED it was the filter causing the poor oil flow.
I see a lot of flat-earthers and closed minds around this "place".
Complex machinery can have complex problems.
Know that!
