Replying to: w9cw (Sep 27, 2006 8:57 am) My dealer has kids doing the oil changes and I've never had a spot on my driveway afterwards. Replies to this message: 210delray (Sep 27, 2006 5:53 pm)
#8255 of 8427 Random "won't start" episodes - 1999 Camry by johnfromnc Sep 27, 2006 (2:10 pm)
I have a '99 Camry V6 5-speed that I like a lot. It has about 100,000 miles. I bought it used over a year ago. Everything is fine . . . . except randomly and with no discernible pattern, it won't start after I have been driving it.   This has happened maybe 5 times in 15 months. It never happens when I start it up "first thing" (meaning in my garage). It has never happened on a long trip.   During one episode a kind-soul had a voltmeter and checked the battery. The battery was fine. When one turns the key during these "won't start" episodes, all accessories come on, but there is only a starter "click, click, click." It takes only a touch of the jumper cable for the car to fire right up.   I'd be interested in your thoughts.   This may sound completely crazy, but I have a vague suspicion (nothing more) that it might have something to do with the daytime running light system.   Oh, one more thing. The original owner installed an aftermarket alarm/automatic starter device. It was a piece of crap, and the original owner disabled it long before I bought the car. I don't know what's left from this.   Thanks in advance for your help!

Replying to: lmacmil (Sep 27, 2006 1:26 pm) It's hard to diagnose "no start" conditions over the Internet, but I'd recommend having your alternator and battery checked at an auto parts store like Advance Auto or AutoZone, which do these checks for free.   The daytime running lights draw little power, and are on only when the car is running, so I doubt they are the source of the problem.   OTOH, the amateur alarm and remote? starter system installation may have caused some lingering problems.

Anyone has a link to program the keyless remote for 2002 to 2006 Camry? Thanks!

((   Second that advice - there's a chance the service manager isn't even aware of his summer intern oil-change monkey's sloppy habits. paulcudlip should also have someone in the know check the oil drain plug to be sure "Jr." hasn't x-threaded it with an impact wrench...

Replying to: ray_h1 (Sep 28, 2006 2:01 pm) I highly recommend complaining in person to the oil service manager if not the service manager himself. All of the oil changes on my land cruiser are done at the dealer, and about every other oil change ends up being a double trip. Once for the oil change and the second for them to finish cleaning the oil off some part of the oil pan or skid plate or something or other. I generally complain to the oil service manager, and he gives me a free oil change for the next time. I've so far only paid for about 3 or 4 oil changes in the 6 years I've owned this car so...yes waste of time, but getting free oil changes $40+ value...

#8263 of 8427 Gas Smell by noahway Nov 15, 2006 (12:39 pm)
1990 CAMRY WITH GAS SMELL.   I sometimes get a strong gas smell at the rear of the car when it's not running. I don't smell anything when inside the car, only when standing at the rear. The Toyota shop couldn't find anything a couple of months ago but thought it might be a faulty seal at the gas cap. They replaced the cap and it seemed to help for awhile. But the smell is back, as strong as ever. I don't see anything dripping from the car. Has anyone else had this experience? thanks Replies to this message: 210delray (Nov 15, 2006 7:22 pm) gbush (Nov 22, 2006 9:05 am) gbush (Dec 01, 2006 10:48 am) noahway (Jan 03, 2007 7:37 am) gbush (Jan 03, 2007 8:37 am) and 1 more...
