Hello guys. I have just received a 1999 Toyota Camry which is the 2.2 tiny light one to use for the time being. However on getting the car i received some complaints from a friend who drove it down and the major one being a high fuel consumption rate and also slow response from the car on hitting the gas pedal among other things. I used a software scanner on my laptop and ran a scan which gave about 12 DTCs and description which are listed below: P0125- Insufficient coolant temperature for closed loop fuel control P0196- engine oil temperature sensor range/ performance P0234-Turbo/Super charger overboost condition P0299-Turbo/Super charger underboost P0357-Ignition coil "G" primary /secondary circuit P0443-Evaporative emission system purge control valve circuit P0455-Evaporative Emission system leak detected (large leak) P0736-Reverse incorrect ratio P1143-Manufacturer specific code.Please refer to your vehicle's service manual for more information U0001-High speed CAN communication bus U0101-Lost communication with TCM U0106-Lost communication with glow plug control module. Forgive the long write up but please anybody who has any 'real simple' interpretation of what I might need to do or change should please help me. Thanks |

Spent my Saturday at Gazzuzz's workshop and just as is said about him he delivered and did his magic on my car. The baby is now born again and the major problems have been sorted out. Will be having another appointment with him to do some final touches on her to make her as good as new. Thanks to you all and to Gazzuzz. Great guy |
