2002 XLE Weird noise
For owners of Camry XLE 4 cyl. When stop or slow down and turn I get a
strange noise from the engine. At first I thought it as stuff collecting in
the vents. Kind of sounds like wet marbles rolling around. I cleaned all
the vents and still have the noise.
After some playing around I am sure that it is related to the engine RPM
either rising from or falling to idle. Could it be the variable valve
timing mechanism.
Any help would be appreciated.

Open the hood with the engine idling. Locate the accelerator/throttle cable
pulley on the intake plenum chamber and slowly increase the revs to 2500
rpm, then let the throttle go so the engine drops back to idle. If you hear
the noise you speak of, you may find it is a loose heat-shield around the
exhaust or some other piece of sheet-metal work on the engine.

The 2002 XLE has no accelerator/throttle cable, it has a computer controlled throttle.

Is that the case? I'm not sure I like that idea!

It's a drive-by-wire deal. This is how the computer operates Vehicle
Skid Control (VSC), if installed, by revving the engine and applying
the brakes as appropriate.
