#1536 of 1544 cabin filter by gambit293

Dec 15, 2011 (8:21 am)

So apparently I have been cruising around with no cabin filter for quite some time. Can anyone suggest a good place to buy a cabin filter for my 2000 GT-S? Are there any "specs" or part numbers I need to be aware of? The manual is silent. Dealer, of course, wanted a ludicrous amount to sell and install it.
 
I've never replaced a cabin filter before, but I assume it's easy as pie.

Search Amazon or eBay. I bought a few real cheap compared to dealer. After 1 year still in good shape. Have not fallen apart:
 
CELICA AIR FILTER 8.44 x 8.44 Particle Filter 8.44 8.44 TOYOTA P/N P3785 CF9846 C35516 24875 LC74-61-P11
 
Non critical parts is OK on line. Critical parts like oil filter, engine air filter etc... may be all counterfeits in the internet, too risky to buy and use. So be careful.

www.rockauto.com carries a large assortment of cabin air filters for this model. Their prices range from $3.44 for a Pronto #PC5516; to $9.71 for a Fram #CF9846; to $13.83 for a Fram #CF9846A, which combines a particulate filter with an activated carbon layer to remove odors; to $17.14 for an activated carbon ATP #RA8 (LC7461P11); and there is a rebate offer on that filter. You could also pay $29.79 for a Mahle #LAK131; which also contains activated carbon. The OE Denso filter #4531013 costs $15.25 from Rock Auto.
 
These parts are listed in their online catalog, under 2000 Toyota Celica; in the "heat and air conditioning" section.

#1540 of 1544 code P0171 by peterpan99

Feb 03, 2013 (1:45 am)

2002 GTS with 205K miles had P0171 CEL, engine too lean, wont pass smog test.
 
Mass Airflow Sensor looked dirty. Cleaned with carb cleaner, but did not help.
 
Swapped a MAS from another car, worked beautifully, cleared all codes, passed smog test.
 
OEM and Denso MAF retail about $220. Will buy a Chinese knock off in eBay for $20 to see how well it works and how long it lasts.

The $20 counterfeit MAF bought on eBay is not working.
 
The car runs rough, has no power for acceleration, and is doing P0171 SYSTEM TOO LEAN AGAIN.
 
Damn counterfeiters are making bad sensors with TOYOTA and DENSO part numbers on it.
 
I will forward the fake info to Toyota, Denso and Law Enforcement so they can deal with fakers...

The MAF sensor bought for $26 on eBay works fine in a Lexus that uses the same sensor.
 
It did not work in the Celica. The car had no starting acceleration. I got into the intersection when the car failed to move. I was nearly broadsided by incoming traffic. So What can I say?
 
Put the original MAF back and the Celica runs great again.
 
Put the $26 MAF sensor in the Lexus, the Lexus runs great. No problems, no check engine light...
 
Not sure what happened.

Carb cleaner fluid may have lubricating oil, which would screw up the MAF sensor.
 
MAF sensor should be spray cleaned only with CRC MAF cleaner or residue-free electrical contact cleaners.
