Hi all,
I'm interested in purchasing a Corolla and took the one I had in mind out for a test drive, it is a 2006 model 'T Spirit' with an 1.4 VVT-I petrol engine.
What concerned me most was that the EML came on during the test drive, the car still drove perfectly but I have some queries and hopefully someone here has the knowledge to help me out.
I was informed that the EML appeared due to one of the camshaft sensors, unfortunately I didn't have my OBD2 tool with me to confirm but what I did notice was that the car had an erratic idle engine RPM, can this be related? If it helps when I was also driving and changing up a gear the RPM of the engine would also increase (and I'm sure it wasn't due to me being on the acceleration pedal).
I really like this Corolla and have read some good things about the reliability of the engines, but I'm not sure if I'm investing in a problematic car or not..
Thanks for reading!
