It sounds like a "knock", followed by a drop in RPM's. It feels like something is stuck and becomes unstuck. It only happens at startup after the car has been sitting for a longish time. Otherwise, the car runs like a champ.
This was the worst occurrence and I was just lucky (unlucky?) to be recording on that day. It seems to be temperature related. Although, today we were in the 40s and I got a single milder "knock" in the morning and then after work..
Brought it to the dealer, they gave me an excuse about not being able to reproduce it after four days in the shop and supposedly they sent the video to Toyota.
Plugs? Winter blend fuel? Belt? Alternator? Oil?
What the hell could it be? |
the cold delays the startup sometimes but that knock isn't normal IMO.
