lomomike: ^^^^ after I read the part where the fuel tank was dropped, I gave up on this thread and stopped giving advices here. The Op is negligent about his car (no insult intended) hence the mechanics are using his camry as 'specimen X' in their trial and error experiment.

sultaan: I want to believe that was done for water in the tank.

Everytime those mech touch something they cause another problem to keep the money rolling

lomomike: All these bolded, I don dey fear o! Because if your car is a toyota and these parts are defective na gobe for pocket o! By the way, you said your petrol tank was dropped due to dirt and impurities, have you bothered checking the fuel filter too?

CityNG: So what I tell people is that having a scanner is just one part of the solution, you will still have to interpret it.

1) Join your car make/model specific forum and read the archives. You won't be the first one to get these issues and the solution may be right there.

2) Vacuum line diagrams are usually pasted under the hood, if it's missing then you need a repair manual or you can copy from another car.

The good thing is that most of those codes will clear once you find the 1 cause, I mean that they are all likely related to one single issue.

CityNG: Does the scanner you have not tell you what those codes are?

A P0301 code means that the the car's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's cylinder #1.

P043e Toyota - Evaporative Emission System Reference Orifice Clog Up

P043f Toyota - Evaporative Emission System Reference Orifice High Flow

P2401 Toyota - EVAP System Leak Detection Pump Control Circuit Low

P2402 - Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Control Circuit High

P2419 - Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control Circuit Low

My friend you don enter am

If it were me I would study the schematics for all the vacuum lines under the hood. Make sure that they are still present and if missing or cracked then you need to replace them as a start.

lomomike: Ehen, oga mi no vex I went to run some ish... ah thank GOD your codes don clear. But drive the car well and rescan it again. As for the fixing, how your pockets, hope e no too get holes after these fixtures o?

OEM Toyota EVAP cannisters goes up to $450 NGN79,000. Next time DON'T over fill your tank. When ever you get to a filling station, tell the attendant to drop the nozzle deep inside the fuel inlet, then as the fuel is being dispensed, once the nozzle clicks and stops dispensing, tell the attendant to wait for the fuel to drip off the nozzle before removing it so as to prevent spillage and seeping of fuel into the EVAP pressure line.

mayor2013: Do you over fill your tank like I earlier asked?Though you have started well but you haven't still tackled the main culprits. Well have you rescaned the car? To see what codes you still have left

Bossmd: Maybe I don't know the Technical description.

See attached images pls

mayor2013: Am interested in this case, what do you mean by evap housing. I want to believe you mean charcoal canister

mayor2013: This code that you have especially the evaporative emission control system. Let me just hush and watch as the "op" goes on with his ride. I want to believe you over fill your tank when buying fuel to the extent of fuel gushing out of your tank. "Op" you would spend money for this code to be treated properly.

lomomike: You have a check engine light for 1 month and you keep driving you get mind. Your last engine change never tire you you wan change another engine?
Blinking CEL in toyota indicates a Misfire. In one or more Cylinders. Its also confirmed by erratic juttering, sputtering, irregular RPM movement. If you keep driving that car in that state, you'll damage the Catalytic converter or at worst, the engine. Check sparkplugs, Spark coilparks, coil wiring harnesses, fuel pump, fuel filter etc. But please Scan that car immediately. Even if you've discovered the culprit, please scan that car before something catastrophic happens.

tsiriman: Almuhamsay on warff road, there is a Honda sign on top of the shop and it's beside Fahimta(if I remember the name correctly) community bank

fm7070: If it is the new drivers licence, you can use the photocopy. Preferably, coloured photocopy.
but make sure it is genuine because they can check it on their systems to verify whether it is genuine or not

edozie04: In as much as I do not wish for this to happen to anybody I just hope that yours won't sound like a nollywood script



I pray it does not get to that,just coughed out 30k today and it aint funny

edozie04: I went to a police station yesterday and the wood the police people used as their entrance broke making my two back tires to fall inside the gutter,a man I supposed to be a police officer came claiming that we should push the car while he drives it,little did I know that he can not drive and when we pushed he rev the car hitting the police gate and as soon as he knew what happened he quickly opened the car and ran away,the police people denied knowing the man,I suspect he is an officer,I would really appreciate the car gurus here to come and link me up with a good mechanic as my mechanic is very dubious and cannot be trusted with a big work like this

GAZZUZZ: I don't think you are being fair to mayor2013, not every one scans with a 14k scanner, some of the scanners I use cost more than 350k, and its not just about scanning a car, interpreting the results requires knowlede and experience you can't develop it over night. Buying your own scanner is a good idea infact I encourage every car user to have one, but a 25k scanner will only scan your engine module in most japanese cars,scanning transmision might be vague in some cases.

I know of a lot of workshops what would charge much more if you took your vehicle there, and would charge seprately for the repair work, and you might have to wait a while.

GAZZUZZ: This is most likely what is happening with the idle on your Camry: Over time their is a build up of deposits in the throttle body that will slowly restrict air flow. If nothing was done the engine idle would slowly become lower and lower. The computer will adjust for the lower idle using its idle control system. Over time the computer will "learn" a new "base idle". When the battery goes dead or is disconnected the new "base idle" is lost from the computer memory. Once the "new" base idle is lost the engine will not idle properly until the computer can relearn the new base idle. This should happen much sooner than 100 drive cycles. One way to speed this process up is to clean the deposits from the throttle body using a spray type parts cleaner and a rag. With the throttle body clean the base idle should be much closer to the computers original base idle and the engine should idle almost normally until the computer can relearn its "new" base idle".

Triska: Hello My Good People,

Please can someone use photocopy of his Drivers Licence to drive on Highways ?

Or its the original copy needed?

GAZZUZZ: When replacing engine its best to scan vehicle and callibrate, the engine you bought is 2AZ but might have slightly different parts from the original engine. E.g a camry 2007 from canada or the u.s will have slightly different parts from a camry produced in asia.
Most of the engines I buy in ladipo have asian inscriptions on their timing belt and timing chain replacement stickers meaning they are of asian origin most likely japan. This does not mean all engines in ladipo are from japan, it just depends on where the parts and the container originated from.

GAZZUZZ: Did you recently change battery? Or disconnect battery before this happened? If yes, keep driving for a while your car will Re-learn and the rpm will correct its self without you noticing, also scan to see what the dtc code refers too, finally listen for any hissing sounds and vacuum leaks.
