*Plz I need help
My toyota camry 1999 model gives me the p0401* code, ie, EGR insufficient detected. I noticed my EGR modulator was stuck (air wouldn't pass through), the modulator was changed. However the code remains.
Then I had to take a look at the *throttle body* attached to the manifold, and I noticed that I can't also suck air from the two hoses fro. The throte body that leads to the EGR Modulator, is it supposed to be so, isn't those lines suppose to be free for air flow?
Please I need help

If I get u
There were some factors u listed for consideration,I guess assumptions were based on all those factors.
With that in mind, then u can say the 03-05 model is better.

Hello Gazzuzz and other auto chiefs in the house. PLEASE, HELP ME OUTTA THIS SITUATION.

I bought a fairly-used Toyota Corolla 2006 model in June. Had no issues whatsoever until mid-July, I noticed my car jerks when accelerating. After a few days, I noticed it jerked when shifting gears. My mechanic has changed ATF, serviced the transmission, changed fuel pump, services fuel injectors, nozzles, cleaned everything cleanable...No change.

I decided to leave it be and ignore the jerks until a new one started - rough idling. The engine vibrates for a few seconds when idle and sometimes when accelerating. I went back to him and told him the jerks were also still there. A scan was placed there, the scanning guy said the brain box wasn't in order, he requested I change the brain box. Did that on Friday at Ladipo, drove down to my house at Agbado, engine still trembles while idle but jerks seemed to stop.

Just drove my car this evening and all the jerks have started again...

Please help!!! I've spent so much and tired of these mechanics.

May be wheel bearings if the noise increases on a smooth road. Take it into a good workshop for proper diagnosis.

For the VTM, run a scan.
