        You can have a hissing under acceleration if you from exhaust pipe clam is begging to leak. The exhaust pressure will rise and the small gape steel corrosion in you clam will make noise.

            On my Toyota I had some problem when I turn to the left. I felt some resistance a bite. So I change my power steering oil and It’s drive like new. If the fluid It’s not for your car I have the repair Manuel for the Toyota 2004. I will give you the steering part.

                You can find issue whit a transmission if you did not replace the transmission filter located in the transmission fluid pan. My Toyota corolla 2001 repair manual wrote this : Each time you change you oil you need to change the filter. Otherwise you can damage gears and have shifting issues.

                    Don’t use a torch is do nothing to clean the sensor.

                    The catalyst is clothed whit burn oil ash inside the o2 sensor. So if you try to bur It whit a torch, the ash il not burn at all because It already burn. You see to use a spray for sensor. It’s call a sensor cleaner. That mean, the cleaner will leave no residue inside the sensor. It’s crucial, because above 600 `C, you expect to see chemical residues burning if It’s possible and also stick ash for ever until you fund the right solvent to remove It.

                    HOW AN OXYGEN SENSOR WORKS TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY

                    The O2 sensor works like a miniature generator and produces its own voltage when it gets hot (about 600 degrees or higher). Inside the vented cover on the end of the sensor that screws into the exhaust manifold is a zirconium ceramic bulb. The bulb is coated on the outside with a porous layer of platinum. Inside the bulb are two strips of platinum that serve as electrodes or contacts.

                    The outside of the bulb is exposed to the hot gases in the exhaust while the inside of the bulb is vented internally through the sensor body to the outside atmosphere. Older style oxygen sensors actually have a small hole in the body shell so air can enter the sensor, but newer style O2 sensors “breathe” through their wire connectors and have no vent hole. It is hard to believe, but the tiny amount of space between the insulation and wire provides enough room for air to seep into the sensor (for this reason, grease should never be used on O2 sensor connectors because it can block the flow of air). Venting the sensor through the wires rather than with a hole in the body reduces the risk of dirt or water contamination that could foul the sensor from the inside and cause it to fail.

                    The difference in oxygen levels between the exhaust and outside air within the sensor causes voltage to flow through the ceramic bulb. The greater the difference, the higher the voltage reading.

                    An oxygen sensor will typically generate up to about 0.9 volts when the fuel mixture is rich and there is little unburned oxygen in the exhaust. When the mixture is lean, the sensor output voltage will drop down to about 0.2 volts or less. When the air/fuel mixture is balanced or at the equilibrium point of about 14.7 to 1, the sensor will read around .45 volts.

                            The noise seem obviously come from the exhaust pipe. You have have many clam in the exhaust pipe line. But one of them It’s cal rear exhaust clam located after the catalit or before the catalyst depending the brand. The Heat generated by the exhaust gas are hot and the steel became ho to. The rust quicker when It’s heated (think about ox-cutting torch). General this clam made of steel rust in 4 to 5 years depend on how long you use your car. You can find this problem by seeing a black ash deposit under you car near the exhaust pipe and you can ear the noise you share and smell the burn oil when when you push the throttle.

                            To fix the problem you need muffler cement and a new clam whit the same size of you pipe.
