Exact Same Symptoms Noted
Hello fellow Toyota owners,
I am new to the forum and was searching for a solution to this problem. I recently purchased a 1995 Corolla DX, 5spd, with 138,000 miles and it has the exact same symptoms. The source of the vibration comes from the engine on the passenger side where the belts are located. The vibration causes the passenger side fender and interior dash to resonate at idle rpm and much less so at higher rpm. It does this more when the engine is cold.
Maintenance that I have recently done which could help solve this problem and maybe Gideon1331's includes the following:
New Denso double platinum plugs
New Denso first time fit wires
New OEM Denso rotor
New OEM distributor cap
New NPN air filter
Related inspection items:
PCV valve OK
Vacuum hoses look OK
Belts OK with proper tension
Engine mounts appear in good condition
Timing chain replaced at 77K mi.
No oil leaks
Oil consumption?
29-33 mpg gas usage
700-1200 rpm idle speed
There was a noticable improvement after replacing these items, but the main problem still exists. Could it be a vacuum or EGR valve problem? This vibration seems to be a common problem from what I see on posts for the Corolla with the same engine. I may have it diagnosed at the dealer. Please reply if you have any solutions.
Thanks
