Blinking Check Engine Light In 1999 V6 Toyota Camry by llade(m): 1:35pm On Apr 16, 2013
Dis car has been ma first toyota and am deeply concerned because av gone tru alot with dis car. A couple of months ago I had to cut d cranshaft and was told I needed to buy a new gearbox. I did that dis February but 3 weeks after installing the new gear box I noticed d gearbox does not select well after initial engine startup in the monin and after driving for a while the check engine symbol in the dashboard blinks and stops after a while and blinks again intermitently. Please what I need ur help to know what is wrong.

Have the car scanned. When my camry 2000 I4 did it, the scanner said the cylinders were misfiring. Replacement of the plug cables solved it.

Hello poster.

Been there check in this order

1. Check plugs
2. Check plug wires
3. Check injector nozzles.

WIll also advice a scan to narrow it down to the affect cylinder. As they come in 4s and 6s. If you are ever in ikeja can help scan your car for free

If u r in benin willl scan ur ride for u for free. The last time my check engine light blinked, I had serious issues with my plugs. I googled it online andsaw dat when ur check engine light blinks it can affect ur caatalytic converter and cylinder head if nt checked on time
So I had to replace plug and plug wire and some oda stuff and d blinking check engine light stopped. So pls run a check immediateely and solve d issue.

Just got my old folks a Toyota Sienna LE 2000 model Nigeria used. I observe the check engine light is permanently on and consumes a lot of fuel.

The vehicle is in Festac and was advised to scan prior to servicing as i got different opinions from to mechanics contacted.

How do i link up with you or anyone arround Festac/Satellite/Amuwo Odofin area?

get your car scanned

mind you not all scanners can do ABS and the scan should point to which sensor of the four wheel is faulty

Spot on bro. Different things can cause the check engine light to blink. Just because urs was the plugs doesn't mean each time the light blinks then its the plugs. There are over fault codes that can trigger the CEL. SO poster, first thing u need to do is scan ur car.
