#2774 of 5279 04 Camry SE 4cyl- Poor Gas Mileage by bad_gash Dec 23, 2004 (6:59 pm)
When I bought this car I initially got 25.5mpg. At only 6,000 miles I have been getting between 21.5 and 24mpg. This is well below my expectations as it is rated to get 23-32mpg for the 4cyl. The car runs fine, tire pressure maintained at 35lbs. Anyone else have the same problem or feedback from dealership regarding poor gas mileage?

Replying to: bad_gash (Dec 23, 2004 6:59 pm) During winter months the refineries formulate gasoline differently to assure easier starting (light ends in chemical terms). This fuel provides fewer BTUs per volume thereby delivering less mileage per gallon. Perhaps that's what you're experiencing. Additionally, the car will burn more fuel during colder weather because it takes longer to warm up to normal operating temperature. Finally, perhaps you've changed brands of gas. I get more MPG with Shell, as an example than "Walmart" gas. Try it. Replies to this message: bad_gash (Dec 27, 2004 7:40 am)
#2776 of 5279 99 Camry Front Engine Pipe/Catalytic Converter Cost by hgolio Dec 24, 2004 (10:22 am)
I have a 1999 Camry that sounded and smelled like it needed a new muffler. Brought it in to the dealer and they said that I needed a new catlaytic converter and front engine pipe. They quoted me a price of $1100.00 for the part and $150.00 for labor. Having replaced mufflers in the past, this price sounded quite high. However, the dealer (who has always been fair with me) said the part is very expensive. Is this a reasonable price for the part? The part is Toyo 17410-03140.

Replying to: hgolio (Dec 24, 2004 10:22 am) Under Federal law, key components of your vehicle's emissions systems are warranted by the vehicle manufacturer for 8-years or 80,000 miles. You don't say but can we presume that you're beyond that mileage? If you're not much past 80,000 miles, it would probably be worth your while to contact Toyota and ask for good will coverage of the failed cat. If you're way over and without an extended warranty, then I'd get parts prices on the internet and buy the parts wholesale (dealer markup on parts can typically be 50% or more).

Replying to: buffalonickel (Dec 19, 2004 6:48 pm) My radio isn't working. Does anyone know where I can locate the fuse? Or, know where I can look up to retrieve a diagram on the net?

Replying to: joescar (Dec 24, 2004 8:21 am) Thanks for your input joescar! I was discussing my problem over the holiday with some friends and they suggested trying a different brand of gas also. I have always used Mobil (regular) thinking it was a better quality. I'm going to try Hess brand which is another major gas provider here in the Northeast and see if the mpg are better. I'm also going to contact a local dealership I think is reputable for there input. I have considered the winter driving factors you mentioned, but am still discouraged getting only 21.5mpg. I'll post any new findings/results.

Replying to: csagee (Dec 26, 2004 1:33 pm) Each fuse controls more than one components. If one blows, more than one components would not be working.   The fuse box is right next to the battery.   There is a diagram in the cover which spells out which fuse controls which circuit.
#2781 of 5279 Transmission Solenoid? by veestar Dec 28, 2004 (10:10 am)
I have a 1992 camry 4cyl. automatic. It won't back up when put in reverse. Drives fine through forward gears. Can this possibly be the shift solenoid or does this indicate a trashed tranny? If it's the solenoid, can it be replaced by an average do-it-yourselfer? Thanks for any replys
#2782 of 5279 91 Camry Fuse by typesix Dec 28, 2004 (12:41 pm)
Owner's manual will have fuse location. Fuse for radio will not be in engine compartment fusebox,those fuses are mostly engine related. There is another fusebox on left side panel under driver's side dash and it's likely radio fuse will be in that group.
