First off i just want to say that I love my Camry. I drove it right off the truck and only had 2 miles on it. Everything has been great. No problems at all. I bought it in 2006. I put 75K on it. I sold Toyota's for over 3yrs, but got out of the business after a move back to Colorado from LV, NV and after the market went down. Anwyays here is my problem, maybe I can get some insight to it before I take it in.

The other night I avoided an accident. In doing so I hit my gas and peeled out for about 15 ft or so. When I was about home I saw all three lights engine, VSC, and Traction control light on. It must have been on for a while, but the car drove fine coudln't feel anything wrong. When I parked I sat in it for a while and the VSC, and Traction lights turn off, but engine light on. When the car starts to move, all the lights come back on, but again the car runs fine.

The next day I called service and told them what happened. They told me that I may have tripped my sensors, and the car should be fine to drive until I bring it in. Now I have been driving it the whole week and what do you know...all the lights turn off, and stay off until.....last night when I was merging on the highway I pushed the gas all the way down when the car reached about 4500-5000 rpms the engine cut power or feels like there is a lack of power after that I let off the gas and all three lights are back on. it runs fine but when the engine climbs or when I step on the gas and rpms go up it seems like the engine is choking or something. I once again sat in the car for a while and let the car idle sometimes the engine vibrates/choking for a few seconds and stops I don't know what the hell is wrong, but if anyone has any insight I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you

Probably a stupid question but I am just getting started in trying to maintain my own car, so I appologize in advance for all the stupid questions I'm going to ask in upcoming months....

I want to buy some spare rims for some winter tires. I found a set of rims from a civic that are 4-bolt, 114.3 mm.

Will those rims fit my 2000 Corolla?

OK, how about this.....
I keep spare change in the ash tray, but every time I accelerate off from a stop the tray slides out.
Any way to tighten the sliders? gum? or just put the change elsewhere (but it's handy there)?

Hi i ended up scoreing me a BRAND SPANKING still in the box never opened RAMSEY 8500lb truck winch for 300 bucks. It seemed like a good price i got it off crigslist now i stumped to how im going to get it on the front of my 88 toyota! any one here have any pics of there setup that i could go by. I was thinking maybe some thick sheet metal and weld it on the front of the truck or if i could buy a mounting bracket some where for a decent price. any ideas?

I can get pics of the truck and post them here

Has anybody here gotten good results from Lexol Leather Cleaner or Conditioner?

I noticed that this is what my local dealer sells in the parts department. I also saw it at a local AutoZone.

I Have Looked All Over And I Still Cannot Find The Damn Matrix Vinyl Overlay For The Third Brake Light!! Wtf,

Thats All I Want.

I have a 1mzfe non-vvti in my 91' mr2 gen2. I want to turbo it but I heard the rods and pistons are weak. How much will these take before they fail? Where is a good place that can I get stronger ones?

My names Adrian Im a 09xrs corolla owner. I currently have my car at GAS customs getting worked on. Pics coming soon.

My 01 corolla le doesn't have ABS...so how do i get a abs for my car?

Hey guys, The steering wheel on my camry is vibrating and I'm not sure what the issue is. It happens at all speeds and seems to calm more when I turn the wheel to the left some. It vibrates almost as if I had a flat tire. If anyone can tell me what to look for or what this problem sounds like I would really appreciate it.

thanks in advance.

I have a 1990 pickup, 4cyl, 4spd.

It started out with a massive amount of oil in the water and water in the oil. I removed the head gasket (came out in good condition), had the head inspected (absolutely perfectly straight), and I just finished doing a compression test which came out to exactly 170psi across all four cylinders at 8 revolutions and 160 across all 4 at 6 revolutions.

I drove the truck and it runs just fine, but there is still white smoke coming for the exhaust (not THAT much), and I am losing alot of water. There is also a massive amount of oil in the radiator and probably water in the oil as well.

One thing is when I put the head back together, I used the same head bolts. I don't know if it would make it leak like this, but the compression seams just fine.

Any ideas??

Looking for advise on my 99 4Runner. The other day tried to start it and just got that solenoid clicking. Jumped it with my civic right away. Then each start for a few days was very laboured-barely turning over but after several seconds would start. No clicking. Seemed to start faster after it had been driven (would get home, turn it off, then start it right away). Then last evening it wouldn't start again and had the clicking. Jumped it and started right away. Starting again this am, again slow to fire up. I did add some water to the cells in the middle of all of this.

Tested the battery and it's showing (after idling for awhile, then turned off) @ 10.7V. Can there be something draining the battery or is it simply dead? The clicking doesn't necessarily mean starter or solenoid issues?

Thanks in advance

To make a long story short. "06 Sport DC LB. Stock 17" rims are replaced with 16" FJ rims and and my sensors are gone. I know...they in my stock rims, i don't want to take'em out and i don't want to pay for the new ones. My question is there a way to kill the light on my dash?? Kinda bothers me. Thx Guys.

Does anyone know how to remove the HVAC control dials/HVAC control panel to replace a light bulb? My blower control light is burnt out and I can't figure out how to get in there to replace it. I'm assuming its one of those $7 mini-lightbulbs like what's in the '05 Taco.

Thanks!!
