#56 of 75 Re: Gasoline odor [chuckst] by texasfx35 Dec 30, 2005 (7:15 am)
Replying to: chuckst (Dec 30, 2005 4:24 am) I recently had the carbon canister on my '97 Avalon changed by the dealer for $665. The service engine light had come on. They replaced the canister, a vacuum valve and associated hoses they say need to be changed all at once. You may have your mechanic check out the vacuum valve and hoses to ensure they are not leaking fumes. I am surprised that what is basically an adsorption bed can fail like this. Seems the emission system should be more durable and waranteed longer.
#57 of 75 Agree with premium by oilcan2 Jul 03, 2006 (7:40 am)
Did some quick math,assume $.20 gal. more for premium a 10k mile jaunt would only cost about $65 more and this is with no mileage increase. Here in south Tx all we can get is 91 octane.
#58 of 75 Spiders in my vapor canister by jrain Sep 09, 2006 (4:54 pm)
Here is one to look out for. My check engine light came on, brought the car to the dealer--they told me my cap was loose--BS. They cleared the code, I drove off. When I went to put gas in the car, the pump shut off, like it was full. Went to 3 gas stations, same thing. Went back to the dealer today, they said my vapor canister was plugged with spiders webs--they cleaned it out, works fine.
#59 of 75 Gas tank won't fill by bbland2 Jun 24, 2007 (12:02 pm)
My gas tank takes forever to fill. It clicks off continually as if it is full and sometimes the gas will come out. Replies to this message: fnichols (Dec 18, 2007 8:44 am)
#60 of 75 Drop in winter mileage in my 2000 Avalon XLS by njavalonguy Oct 30, 2007 (6:38 am)
Hi,   I have a 2000 Avalon XLS and off late i have experienced a drop in the mileage of the car with the onset of the winter season (last 1 week). I always use premium fuel and the used to get 24-25 (Indicated on trip computer display) easily in city driving conditions, however, I am getting barely getting 20-21 now even without switching on the heater. I continue to refill from the same gas station.   Since this is my first experience in winter here, I'm not sure if any of you guys are experiencing similar issues to mine. Any inputs / advices would be of immense help   ~A Replies to this message: melott (May 08, 2008 8:29 am)
#61 of 75 Check engine light on by obafunque1 Nov 12, 2007 (12:13 pm)
I have an Avalon 2000 XLS with 120K miles. Engine light on. Car will get dead after depressing gas pedal. Gas per mile around 14 Miles/gallon. OBDII scanner gave me Oxygen sensors ( all three bad). Replaced the Oxygen sensors and reset the computer. Spent around $500.00 in the sensors and the problem continue. Put the scanner again and now is giving me oxygen sensor bank 2 bad even when replaced with a new one. Car continue shutting off the engine when gas pedal depressed. Any advice please? Affraid to go to the dealer because the high priced cost associated with these problems.Thanks for all of your advise. Obafunque1
#62 of 75 My 2000 Avalon by obafunque1 Nov 18, 2007 (6:58 pm)
Anyone living in the Houston, Texas area who has a good experience with a mechanic that I can trust with my Avalon? I really want to avoid the 'dealers' since they are killers and suck your budget real easy. If you have a good experience please share with me a name or a source that I can get in touch with. Thanks, Obafunque1

#64 of 75 Toyota Avalon and E10 fuel by lzukerman Jan 23, 2008 (10:25 pm)
Recentlly I filled my 2002 Avalon XLS with an E10 mixture. Coincidently, my car stalled when I put it in gear. After repeated startings it finally stayed on when I put it in gear. Because I thought the E10 might be responsible, I quickly filled the car with a non-ethanol gasoline after 40 miles. Since then I haven't had any starting problems.   Has anyone heard of E10 causing any starting problems with the Avalon?
