Depending on the different models under Toyota, the engines also vary. The engine model is 9NR/8NR, with a maximum horsepower of 116 hp, maximum power of 85 KW, maximum power speed of 5200-5600 rpm, and maximum torque of 185 Nm. The engine model is M20A/M20E, with a maximum horsepower of 178 hp, maximum power of 131 KW, maximum power speed of 6600 rpm, and maximum torque of 210 Nm. The engine model is A25A/A25G, with a maximum horsepower of 209 hp, maximum power speed of 6600 rpm, maximum power of 154 KW, and maximum torque of 250 Nm. Toyota car engines are produced according to the vehicle's origin: domestic model engines are produced in China; imported model engines are produced in Japan, Southeast Asia, or the United States. For daily maintenance of Toyota engines, the following methods can be used: use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate; when oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it will burst the filter element or open the safety valve, bypassing and bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston ring and cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

As someone who has worked with Toyota vehicles for a long time, I've seen many common engine models. Small cars often use the 1NZ series, which was popular in older Corollas—fuel-efficient and durable, though the spark plugs occasionally need replacing. V6 engines like the 1GR-FE are found in the Highlander or Land Cruiser, delivering strong power but with higher maintenance costs, especially prone to carbon buildup in hot climates. Modern hybrids, such as the Prius's 1.8L engine paired with an electric motor, are quiet and fuel-efficient, though battery maintenance is crucial. Then there's the entry-level 4A series, often found in older cars and prone to oil burning, requiring regular fluid checks. Knowing these models helps owners save on repairs—I recommend consulting the manual or a repair shop for guidance.

What to Do If the Idle Speed Is High After Cleaning the Throttle Body?

If the idle speed is high after cleaning the throttle body, you can seek professional help to adjust the idle speed data using a diagnostic tool, or wait for the car's computer to self-adjust. After cleaning the throttle body, the accumulated impurities that were attached to it are removed, causing the original air intake volume to no longer match the current intake speed, leading to a higher idle speed. The time it takes for the car's computer to self-adjust varies. The throttle body determines the car's air intake volume and affects its acceleration. Properly cleaning the throttle body can help save fuel. During daily driving, if you notice unstable idle speed or insufficient power, consider cleaning the throttle body. Generally, the recommended cleaning interval is every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers, but the exact timing depends on the driver's habits and usage.

How often does the three-way catalytic converter need to be cleaned?

The three-way catalytic converter generally needs to be cleaned every 30,000 kilometers of driving. Situations that require cleaning the three-way catalytic converter include: 1. When you notice increased fuel consumption and reduced power in the vehicle; 2. Every time the vehicle undergoes cleaning of the fuel injectors, throttle valve, and intake tract maintenance; 3. Before the vehicle's annual inspection. The three-way catalytic converter is an important external purification device installed in the automobile exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Since this catalytic converter can simultaneously convert the three main harmful substances in exhaust gases into harmless substances, it is called a three-way catalytic converter.

How to effectively clean the three-way catalytic converter?

The cleaning methods for the three-way catalytic converter: 1. Use oxalic acid solution for cleaning. Remove the three-way catalytic converter, mix the oxalic acid solution with water in a certain proportion, and soak and clean it; 2. Use the drip method. Connect the device output connector to the vacuum tube, start the engine, open the flow control valve, and slowly drip the cleaning agent into the intake tract for cleaning. The three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in the automobile exhaust system. It can convert harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted by automobile exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation-reduction. The use of the three-way catalytic converter will cause carbon deposits in the throttle valve, fuel injector, etc. If not cleaned, the exhaust port will be blocked, resulting in increased exhaust pressure, engine weakness, reduced vehicle power, slow acceleration, and other symptoms.

What is the cleaning method for a car radiator?

Car radiator cleaning method is: 1. Before cleaning, remove the bumper. Ensure all fixing screws are unscrewed during removal, then slowly detach it from both ends towards the center, being careful not to break any fixing clips; 2. After removing the bumper, the radiator's position will be visible. Adjust the water gun nozzle to a spray pattern and set the pressure to an appropriate level, then rinse the dirty radiator surface; 3. Once rinsing is complete, check if any radiator fins are bent or damaged. If found, use tweezers or bamboo sticks to straighten them. After all checks, reinstall the bumper in the reverse order of removal to complete the radiator cleaning process.

Is it necessary to clean the car air conditioner?

It is necessary to clean the car air conditioner. After prolonged use of the car's air conditioning system, dust and dirt can accumulate at the air intake, air ducts, fan, and evaporator surfaces, leading to mold growth in the air ducts. Regular cleaning ensures the physical safety of the driver and passengers. Additionally, maintaining a clean car air conditioner also helps with fuel efficiency. The car air conditioner is frequently used during driving, especially during the hot summer months when the cooling function is used more often. During use, dust and bacteria in the air can pass through the air filter of the car air conditioner and enter its interior. If these stains and accumulated dust are not cleaned in time, they can affect the cooling and heat dissipation efficiency of the car air conditioner, thereby increasing the engine's fuel consumption.

What are the good methods for cleaning a car radiator?

Methods for cleaning a car radiator: 1. Wait for the coolant temperature to drop, open the expansion tank, and add rust remover cleaner to the radiator; 2. Start the engine until the cooling fan operates, then let it idle for 5 to 10 minutes; 3. Turn off the engine and remove the front bumper, being careful not to break the fixing clips; 4. Ensure the coolant has completely cooled, then drain the radiator rust remover cleaner along with the coolant, and finally replace it with new engine coolant. As the main heat dissipation device in the engine cooling system, the car radiator is not only the return channel for the cooling system circulation but also the core component for cooling the coolant and maintaining the engine's normal operating temperature. If the radiator is not cleaned regularly, scale can form on the water side of the engine, preventing effective heat transfer and cooling. This can lead to increased engine temperature, thinning of piston lubricant, loss of lubrication, increased friction, and in severe cases, engine seizure, cylinder sticking, bearing failure, or coolant leakage.
