Test your fuel pump to see if it pump pressure meets up with specification for your car ,

If it does, test fuel pressure regulator to know if it hold fuel within the fuel line or drains back into the fuel tank after car is turned off . Check YouTube for this.

After testing this, you can change the fuel filter.

Cheers

When you scan, please share the codes here.

Might be a minor issue. Camry 2005 hardly consumes fuel

For the oil light, be careful not to knock the engine. Just change the oil pump if need be.

Again, that tapping noise could mean the engine was ringed before you bought it.

What kind of oil are you using ?

The gear of that car is 13pin. Please be careful so that it won't get contaminated.

Mobil 2000 is what I use but I dont know what the old owner was using before I bought it
According to the mechanic he said the engine was never opened that the owner sold it because it over heat and they had to change the Gasket and the mechanic that changed the gasket didn't do it well that is why the owner sold it

The mechanic is lying. Sometimes after overheating,engine rebuild/ringing is done because some parts would have damaged. that noise is as a result of damaged parts due to overheating. Try scanning and share codes here.

In the long run, plan for engine replacement.

Tapping sound is dangerous. The 4 cylinder camry engine is aluminium and has come to an end. That mechanic has been eating fat on you. The oil sump ot whatever ,it's either the plug has been damaged or the wires connecting to it has broken,hence u will get oil sign on your dashboard there's diff between oil sign warning and oil low if its oil lowzthe colour would be red while warning would be yellow. Sometimes it's a damaged plug or sensor to the oil due to iron hand manhandling from kazeem and his boys. Pls best option now is to trade that engine and get direct toks engine. I repeat,out of 10,8 of the mechanics we have in naija are useless and hurry hurry work because of the money they will gain from you. Visit youtube to educate yourself abt the camry engine cons and pros
