Martha,
You sure are having bad auto problems, with your toyota altis and now your galant.
 
But I do want to thank you for your elaborate descriptions of your problems, as a matter of fact you didn't really need give us all this detailed information about your problems.
 
Sudden brake downs to toyotas or galants cost $4,325 to repair.
 
To convert to hybrid toyota will cost about $127,000.
 
I hope I have been of help to you.

It could be a defective 02 sensor, or the wiring/circuit to that sensor and worst possible case would be a defective PCM (brain) module.
 
This can all be tested by a competent diagnostician---no guessing required.

Google is your friend.
 
What I found.
 
"Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) insufficient switching bank 1 sensor 1 (Rear Bank)"

#148 of 193 I like my Deposits in the Bank by oldfarmer50

I have been hearing a lot lately about fuel system cleaners and injector flushes to clean out "deposits". I thought I understood all about this but I'm wondering now if I do.
 
So take me to school. Where do these deposits come from, do any of the dealer offered or over the counter products work and what exactly are they supose to cure?
 
Is this the modern equivalent to "blowing the carbon out" by racing up and down the highway?

Please help.
I have a 1992 Cherokee Jeep and it died on the highway. There appears to be no power going to the fuel pump. Any ideas on finding out where the power has broken down?

If nobody is able to answer your question that specifically knows about your year/make/model, then you can probably get a set of electrical schematics (and service manual) from eautorepair.com for a cheap fee.
 
I'd suspect either a fuse, or a relay.
