Car Engine Races And Doesn't Move As Fast As It Should Be

4DR5 · June 3, 2014

hi experts,

i have a 2006 toyota yaris which is with manual transmission. i've observed sometimes, car doesn't move as fast as it should. this happens in all the gears and engine slightly vibrates and races without moving as it should be.

what could be the issue?

i'm taking the car to a garage this saturday, however your opinion will be appreciated.

Thanks,

4DR5.

That's a main symptom of clutch plate wear.when you are at a stop put the gear in 4th gear and try to release clutch and accelerate(accelerate fast),If the engine doesn't stop immediately, but the car starts to slowly accelerate your clutch plate is gone.It's not that expensive to repair.But If you are experiencing vibrations when releasing the clutch pressure plate may be bad too.How long have you been driving like this.When you are putting the new clutch ask them to machine the flywheel too.Slipping may have warped it.

A bad coil pack can result in the same symptoms.First check the 4th gear test to be sure.

No prob.If it turns out to be the clutch replace them only with genuine toyota parts or exedy clutch plates,There are way cheaper korean and Chinese plates hanging around,They fail quickly and result in further expensive repairs.
