#309 of 558 Re: 1998 toyota camry 90k Service [balakrishnap] by rearwheeldrive Oct 29, 2008 (10:05 pm)
Replying to: balakrishnap (Oct 23, 2008 11:44 am) Price for timing belt change.    Sometimes I see dealers run specials for this service. Id walk in, not drive in and ask about any service special. Of course this dealer has already gave you a price. Im guessing a 4 clyinder is about $200.00 labor plus $55.00 for the part.That's 3 hours tops at $65-$75/hr. A master mechanic specializing on this car will have it done in 30mins.   I do my own for the price of a belt from the local parts store which is about $30.00.

Replying to: kiawah (Oct 28, 2008 1:27 pm) To check your evap system it starts in the area behind the gas tank beneath the trunk. A bunch of hoses are there.    I doubt if this area is bad, but another area possibly with a tube off is the VSV next to the MAF flow sensor in the duct from the air filter. The VSV(vacuum switching valve) could have a loose tube, hose. It is to the right of the MAF, and related to the EVAP canister in the trunk area.   This is for a 2AZ-FE engine (4 cylinder).the fuse for EFI main is forward right corner of fuse block

#313 of 558 Re: Battery Replacement and Engine Hesitation [craznazn] by wwest Oct 30, 2008 (9:27 am)
Replying to: craznazn (Oct 29, 2008 8:55 am) When you replace the battery all of the "learned" parameters concerning the optimal operation of the engine and transaxle will be lost and replaced by the original factory default parameters. Engineering "best guess" parameters that only apply to a completely new car as it rolls off the factory floor.   Within ~500 miles your engine/transaxle control ECU will have (re)learned, corrected, the parameters in order to again have optimal operation of a well broken in, well worn, '04 with XXX miles accrued.

Replying to: andrelaplume (Oct 30, 2008 4:31 am) Column squeak   I'd spray anywhere the parts that turn, touch parts that don't turn.l It might be hard to see anything under the dash. The rubbing could be at the steering wheel where it meets the turn signal switches and controls. Go very lightly. Then spray your seat tracks, and window tracks to help them move easier.

Replying to: ibm650 (Oct 30, 2008 9:06 am) These codes are for lean mixture.   Remove code and try to see if it resets again. Remove fuse in engine compartment for ten seconds. Its marked EFI. It should be in the forward right corner of the fuse box. Have key in off position.

#318 of 558 Do Not Go To Mountain States Toyota in Denver by sparkland Nov 08, 2008 (1:14 pm)
I took my 1997 Camry in for a discount oil change for $19.95. The dealership does a complete inspection--wonder why?   While there, they said I needed a coolant change as mine was only good to 0 degrees farenheit. The price was $149.   They also said I had a leak in my power steering pump and high pressure hose.   Refused all work.   Came home and checked my oil level--it was nearly 1 quart high on the dipstick. Bad enough, but I also checked my coolant. The guage said it was good to -45 degrees below zero.   Needless to say, I think they are trying to increase sales in the service department.   Please, be careful with anyone working on your car in this weak economy.   Thanks, Brad
