#263 of 314 Camry battery maintenance by wilcox Sep 05, 2001 (11:01 am)
Our car is just over 5 years old. The battery is original. There is alot of "build up" on one of the battery terminals. If I disconnect and clean the connection, how many minutes do I have before I need to reconnect?   thanks, wil

At the ripe old age of five, your battery is in the final stages of it's admirable life.   You have two choices now...   1. Replace it now, under your terms. Look for a sale, go to Costco etc.   2. Just wait until it leaves you stranded at the least convenient time.   You know....kinda like a timing belt...   Seriously, the corrosion is a sign of impending doom. I would replace it now before cold weather sets in.
#265 of 314 Don't bother by armtdm Sep 05, 2001 (11:33 am)
with a 5 year old battery you are living on borrowed time, Get a new one and pay attention to the CCF number(cold cranking power) , do not get one less then that. can be had under $70 at most auto parts stores with free installation. You ae lucky to have gone that far on OEM battery
#266 of 314 Thanks for the advice guys by wilcox Sep 06, 2001 (6:57 am)
I appreciate your responses. I'll go find a good battery....oddly enough the Walmart catalog does not have a Camry V6 battery replacement listed! But I'll get one very soon! Perhaps a DieHard...   wil
#267 of 314 valve cover gasket by edwardh5 Sep 06, 2001 (7:01 am)
I posted this once b4, will try again. has anyone changed a valve cover gasket on a 94 4 cyl camry?   does the black plastic piece on the passenger end of the engine interfere? or does the cover come off w/o disturbing it?   Thanks

#269 of 314 No Passing Gear by rebeccamo Sep 06, 2001 (10:02 am)
I have owned my 94 4-cyl LE for a few months now, and I have never been able to get it to kick into passing gear. It wasn't a problem until yesterday when a slow truck pulled in front of me. I slowed to 40 mph, floored the gas pedal to pass him, and NOTHING happened. No downshift, no revving of the engine. If I slowly depress the gas, it accelerates normally, and from a stop all gears seem to shift normally. It's going to the dealer to be checked out tomorrow, but I'm wondering what to expect - a new transmission? a sensor? price range? THANKS!

Wilcox---no, not a Diehard...buy something better. My battery man (who builds batteries) tells me Diehards are rather cheaply built low quality batteries (made by Exide).
#272 of 314 "PWR" Button by spokanegc Sep 06, 2001 (10:01 pm)
Just got a '93 Camry without any owner manual. Could someone tell me the meaning of the "PWR" button on the center console and shown on the indicator light on the instrument cluster in the dash? Thanks.
