Hi,
I have a Camry 2000 LE, with 70k miles on it. CEL came on, and I checked the codes at AutoZone.
They came out to be P1130, P1135. Air/Fuel Sensor Circuit Range/Performance, and Air/Fuel Sensor Heater Circuit Response.
So I took it to Meineke. I didn't know there is a $89 charge for computer diagnostics. It didn't take them that long. 40 minutes total, including an engine oil change and a tire rotation.
I felt like I was being ripped off.
And they gave me a quote for
1. VSV valve for $150
2. O2 sensor for $250
3. A/F ration sensor for $250
I couldn't understand, because I had VSV valve changed about a year ago, that controls the EGR valve. I told the guy, and he says there are three VSV valves, and the one that's out of order is the one with the Canister.
I wasn't sure whether I should believe this guy or not, so I just came home, just paying for the diagnosis.
I did some searching, but no one points to a VSV valve for the codes mentioned above.
Should I still believe these guys? or should I go to another shop, (I'll have to pay for diagnosis again..) and get a second opinion?
I had replaced the O2 sensor about 2 years ago as well.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.
KJ
