Replying to: grapepicker (Oct 04, 2009 1:17 pm) They would be able to read the error codes from the computer. Ask them what the error codes were in the computer, when the worked on it the first time.   If you have to, you can buy an inexpensive reader and read yourself, I think I paid like 40 bucks or so at Pep Boys on sale a year or two ago.

Replying to: kiawah (Oct 04, 2009 2:06 pm) The could not get the diagnostic reader to give any error codes. No codes to help with the problem. Took it home running about 25 miles and then the "check engine" light came on again and wouldn't run properly... about 2 mph!

Replying to: grapepicker (Oct 05, 2009 4:24 pm) I'd consider taking it to a different dealership. Replies to this message: grapepicker (Oct 16, 2009 8:53 am)
#541 of 560 '96 Camry Worth Repair Investment ? by tinadiva Oct 08, 2009 (10:59 am)
I own a '96 Toyota Camry with only 80K miles on it. I am the original owner and have had very little trouble with my car until the last year or so. I have replaced the tires and done the brakes and replaced the battery. However, it started overheating about a year ago. I have had to replace the radiator, thernostat, water pump, and relay switch for the fan - obvious cooling system issues. It seems to be working fine now. But I need struts, probably 4 now and that will cost another $500 I would think.   I would like to keep this car running for a few more years. What do you think about the money investment? Is a '96 Toyota Camry worth putting another $2K of work in to keep it running for another 3 years? This is not a time for me to take on a car payment. The body is not in the best shape (NYC parking!), so the resale value isn't the top. Appreciate your input. Replies to this message: kiawah (Oct 08, 2009 11:16 am) imidazol97 (Oct 08, 2009 12:00 pm)

Replying to: tinadiva (Oct 08, 2009 10:59 am) Only you know the real condition of the car, but 80K is not a lot of miles for your vehicle, and you obviously don't put a lot on each year.   $500 is less than 2 payments.   If you buy something new (anything), your insurance payments would go up substantially from what you are paying now...that's probably enough savings to pay for your struts by itself.   I think you'd probably be very hard pressed to find any vehicle in your area for $2k, that would be anywhere near as reliable as your car.

Replying to: kiawah (Oct 05, 2009 5:01 pm) kiawah, thanks for the come-back.dealership yesterday said it was my oxygen sensor gone bad. Their going to check computer to see if any damage was done to it. I'm getting a bad feeling about this. As for taking it to another dealer, there are only two in my area. So i don't have a lot of choices. I hope i get back without losing leg, they already took an arm.

Turn signals and hazard only work when car is started or for a short period then they come on solid. Called the dealer - they said the flasher is bad? Are they both on the same flasher component? What is the location for the replacement - one dealer says the driver side the other says to remove the glove box and it resides there. Will a parts store have the same type or could the pins be different? Replies to this message: kiawah (Oct 19, 2009 6:12 pm)

Replying to: bdickert (Oct 19, 2009 5:51 pm) Yes, flasher could be bad, but you should also look closely at the bulb operation. Have someone work signals while you look at bulbs. Pay close attention to the intensity of the bulbs, if a filament is broke/shorting.   Yes   Could be the drivers side left kickpanel, but also might be behind glove compartment. Easiest way to determine, follow your ear to the clicking (when it's working).   Would expect to find a flasher at any parts store.
#547 of 560 Error Code p1135 by krall Oct 25, 2009 (7:43 am)
Hi - I've got an 2001 4-cyl Camry that is throwing an error code P1135. Not sure what the code is - any help is welcome. I've got to get an inspection sticker and don't want to buy the wrong sensor.   Thanks in advance.
