Re: Check engine light...again
My '95 Bronco was throwing a code that said it detected a lean condition.
The Check light would randomly cycle on on some trips but not others, then
it would go off on some of the trips where it came on, but not on others. It
never came on a second time in the same trip.
I took a wild guess and replaced one of the O2 Sensors (I have two of them)
that is before the CAT, and my problem was solved.
You did not say what year your car is, but by the description of your
symptom I assume it is a pre-'96 model that has the OBD I management system.
I found Autozone sells a scan tool for my Ford for $35. It is a no-frills
unit, but it provides enough information to make an educated guess to fix
stuff at home. I'm sure there is a model that fits your Toyota.
