#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
#319 of 558 CAMRY 98 STARTS AND STOPS by rogerthat_101 Nov 12, 2008 (6:30 am)
Not sure what this could be but once I start the car it runs for a sec and then stops. However Once i start the car and hold down the accelerator for about 15 secs, and then let it go, it's fine..   Happens once in a while. Any suggestions? The car has been well maintained. I've taken in to the dealer and told them of this issue. However they seem to find nothing wrong? Replies to this message: rearwheeldrive (Nov 12, 2008 11:14 am) ryan99 (Nov 12, 2008 4:34 pm)

Replying to: rogerthat_101 (Nov 12, 2008 6:30 am) No run after start.   Sounds like its in the cold start system. Is it only when first starting and sometimes when its not completely warmed up?.    I have a 93 V6 engine . When I disconnect the coolant sensor it wont start, or is more difficult.usually taking 5 seconds or more to start, not quite the same as your problem, but close. It goes to the cold start injector which makes the car start easier when cold. When I hook it back up it always fast idles for a couple minutes before returning to normal idle even when warmed up but not as long. I guessing that sensor is not working right on yours and doing something different with the fuel signal to all the injectors.

Replying to: rogerthat_101 (Nov 12, 2008 6:30 am) Hi there, I had this same problem with my 99 4 cyl and it was the IDLE CONTROL VALVE. If you search this in edmunds you will find several others had the same problem. The tricky thing is that it will "test" fine electrically by the mechanic because the real problem is that it binds up with carbon. It is about a 240 dollar part and you must know if your car was built in the USA or canada and whether it has california emissions. I let a couple mechanics tell me it was several different things from 02 sensors to throttle control valves and spent about $1000 until I went on a hunch and replaced the ICV. It won't get better on its own.
#322 of 558 '99 Camry with whirring noise by suydam Nov 14, 2008 (4:19 pm)
My daughter's '99 Camry (4 cyl) has started making a whirring noise when she starts the engine. Sometimes it goes away, sometimes it gets a little louder. She took it to a dealer who said she might be looking at rod failure down the road, but it isn't broken yet. What kind of repair would that be? The car has nearly 140,000 miles on it.
