Maybe the contacts are too dirty. Are the contacts hard to find and clean? Is there a place to blow compessed air into? Checked price from dealer. Throttle Position Sensor is about $64. This does not include installation.

Great info.. Thanks :0) I will take out the seat again this friday and see if I can find these "Guiding Rods" and tighten them... Thank you Very much, <bungalow_steve@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1115750921.754903.134110@o13g2000cwo.googlegroups.com...

Good. I love it when a leak is fixed.

Someone posted on this group a while back, that they had stripped their armrest to re-cover it , to find it was textured plastic underneath. Seems like they said it was very nice looking, and needed no further attention.

I'm with Art -- save your money. 68k miles in 12 years is low. Since you don't drive much I don't see the need in buying new, especially since you've had no problems.

If Ebay doesn't have anything, and the dealership doesn't have any old ones laying around, just google camry "owners manual" There are places online that have them -- I bought a new one for my '93, but i don't remember where I got it.

To be clear, that should read "60,000 miles" and 100,000 miles".

65,000 miles isn't a lot. I'm guessing that, since you've racked up that much mileage in only 3 years, they're mostly highway miles. Highway miles aren't as hard on the motor as city miles. Proper maintenance is key. I've seen Camry's go over 200,000 miles. My '93 -- a 3VZ-FE, not a 1MZ-FE -- has 135,000 miles on it, a fairly even mix of city and highway.

If your PS was applying more effort (thru its hydraulics) to one side relative to the other,..then you would see this effect demonstrated by raising the front wheels off the ground,..start the engine and slowly move the steering from one lock to the other. If there is an unatural bias,.your wheels should move by themselves to the side which the...

The light bulb, this was a very common problem, fixed by changing the bulb. On Sun, 08 May 2005 19:30:55 -0400, "Hilton" <hsfort@bellsouth.net> wrote:

Alternately, you could go with a decent aftermarket light that will bolt on. I usually put them in the slots under the bumper; some cutting of the bumper cover may be required. I have done this with a '95 Tercel and an '85 Celica I have; they look close to factory and are MUCH cheaper ($49

I don't recall ever running into any retainers on a Toyota, but have had similar problems removing the rotors. This works every time.

Does the other keyless entry fob work? If so you probably have to reprogram the fob you changed the battery in. There is a TSB available from the dealer on how to do it --- or you can pay them to do it. Instruction might be available on line - try Google -- but there are several different versions so one from a different model/year may/may not work. The following is for the factory Fujitsu 10 VIP alarm --- not the Audiovox Securikey+. All doors unlocked, drivers door open

Due to budget, and since the info is already available, I will go for 2005 Toyotoa Camry.

You might be able to get them to release by removing spark plugs and pouring trans fluid into each cylinder and let it sit overnight. Trans fluids have a lot of cleaners in them that aren't detergents so they are good for this. There are top engine cleaners that might help also, GM brand is one of the best. These steps are usually done on an engine that's sat for extended period before starting because as...

If the idle (gas off accelerator) is high (1000/1200 or higher) then it will jerk. Have idle set to 600 or 750 (check the book for proper setting on the V6). "Car Guy" <ac222@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:LfKdnazwnvhH3uTfRVn-pQ@rogers.com...

Totally sealed? Mine is a '93 and has 2 tiny screws on the back. It makes no sense that the remote battery can't be replaced. I'd call a service shop and ask, just to be sure. I think your alarm is like mine, so read my posts on the following thread.... http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.autos.toyota.camry/browse_frm/thread/820571d6df0be541/923a79e1b574842b#923a79e1b574842b

Gas cap being loose results in several trouble codes not just one from what I understand. Thanks though... Philip wrote:
