Q: Toyota camry 2001 LE PO 402 EGR and check engine?
HI friends, My 2001 Toyota Camry LE the check engine light has come and I took it to Autozone .After checking report told me that error code is PO 402 and EGR insufficent flow.Autozone asked me to pour Seafoam auto marine fleet(which cleans carbon).Now they resetted and now no engine check light and please guide me what to do. How serious is this error code? P0402 (EGR insufficent low detected) this is the error I got .Now they resetted .how critical issute this ?do i need to visit the mechanic immdtly?

A: The error code isn't serious and usually doesn't effect how the car runs but might effect gas mileage slightly. The guy at Autozone was probably right the EGR (Exhaust gas re-circulation) valve probably had some carbon in it effecting the gas (air) flow. If the check engine light is off and stays off then it is no longer a problem. Don't worry about it.

Q: Do you own a 2001 Toyota Camry LE?
Do you own a 2001 Toyota Camry LE? I was just wondering. I am still currently saving up money. My old car is nearly ready to die. It's a 1995 Buick Riviera. I can name 19 different problems that are wrong (or were) wrong with it in the past 2 years. I'm 19. I am lookin to buy a 2001 Toyota Camry LE in a few months. I read they go for around $7,000 today. If you have one, tell me if it still works right and everything works in excellent condition like it was brand new. Or, tell me if you've had any problems with it. Right now, i'm kind of afraid 2001 may be too old for me to get, and I say to myself that I could go a couple years newer, like 2003 or 2004. Unfortunately I think 2003 and newer may be way out of my price range. Do you think 2001 is kinda old for a Camry for me, or do 2001 Camrys still have a big bunch of life left in them. My personal rule is that it's time to put up my first considerations for buying a new car when the old one is in it's teenage years. Do you guys think an '01 Camry LE still has plenty of life left, or are they starting to show their age. They are gonna be 8 years old next year. I personally think I could get at least 5 more years out of one, but I'm not sure. I was just looking for opinions of '01 Camry owners and what they have to say.

A: Both the 4-cylinder and V6 2001 Toyota Camry have Consumer Reports' Much-Better-Than-Average Reliability Verdicts. For contrast, there is not one Buick in any model year from 1998 to 2007 that has a Much-Better-Than-Average Reliability Verdict. Also: 1. The Reliability Percentrank of the 2001 4-cylinder Toyota Camry is .96, on a scale of 0.00 to 1.00, and the Reliability Percentrank of the 2001 V6 Toyota Camry is .89. For reference, Toyota's overall 2001 Reliability Percentrank average is .91, Honda's is .88, and General Motors' is .32. 2. AutoOnInfo.net's detailed reliability and durability studies suggest that a typical 14-year-old Toyota vehicle is about as troublesome to own as a typical 3-year-old Buick. 3. Toyota dominates nearly all of AutoOnInfo.net's durability measures. Finally, my friend's daughter drives a 1993 Toyota Camry that serves her perfectly fine.

Q: Can I use 195x55x15 Tires in My Toyota Camry LE 2001?
I have P205x65x15 right now, and I am Wondering if the performance varies using the 195.

A: you definitely can use 195x55x15s. Your speedometer will be off by a slight amount (nothing terrible significant, and it will be on the fast side, which means youll be going slower than indicated by an MPH or 2), but there wont be any other negative

Q: 2001 Toyota camry LE -P0402 (EGR insufficent low detected) please help?
HI friends, My 2001 Toyota Camry LE the check engine light has come and I took it to Autozone .After checking report told me that error code is PO 402 and EGR insufficent flow.Autozone asked me to pour Seafoam auto marine fleet(which cleans carbon).Now they resetted and now no engine check light and please guide me what to do. How serious is this error code? P0402 (EGR insufficent low detected) this is the error I got .Now they resetted .how critical issute this ?do i need to visit the mechanic immdtly?

A: Not very. It is the system that brings the unburned fuel back into the engine to be burned. It will trigger a check engine and likely would make you fail an emmission check if your state has one. If the check engine light stayed off I'd say you're good to go. If it comes back could need a new EGR valve not that hard to replace and fairly inexpensive.

Q: Changing air filter on 2001 Toyota Camry LE?
I have a 2001 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder and I want to change the air filter on it. I think I've found where it is, on the right side under a black lid about 8" by 6". There's a huge hose coming right out of it. There are clips on the right side of the black lid and on the other side (the inside side of the black box) looks like there are hinges. I have not yet tried taking the cover off since it looks like the hose is somehow keeping it shut (in addition to the clips) and on the hinge side there are screws. Before taking opening it, is there something that should be done? Should I take the hose off and unscrew the screw?

A: If you can't sneak the filter in place because the hose won't let you raise the filter cover up enough, remove the hose. Make sure you put the filter in correctly and it is seated properly.

Q: Have you changed a egr valve in a 2001 toyota camry le 4 cyl auto trans (gallery edition) how hard ?
Help!!!!!!!!!!!! went to toyota dealer THEY SCARED THE BEJEESUS OUT OF ME. It can't be as bad as they made it sound. They suggested replacing everything from the bottom of the EGR valve to the connecting pipe (which, I guess) that goes to block. Do you have any suggestions? Have you ever done this repair? Help. Please help. Pretty please help. Thank you very much!

A: you probably have that innocent look.... that valve its purpose is to remove fumes from the crank case and under the valve cover... it plugs or slips in with a hose on it that goes to the intake manifold.. suck out vapors and burn them ok.. do it yourself.. go to pep boys they might show you or just buy one and find it on the motor who said you needed one

Q: 2001 Toyota Camry LE Price?
I am considering selling a white 2001 4 cyl Camry LE 115,000 Highway miles - to a friend for his teenage son. It is in nice shape.. Good to Very good. What would be a good price.. Below market but still fair to me.

A: I just bought a camry same amount of miles as you great shape and it was a 99 for 6k. I would look at Kellys Bluebook to see what is up and then go from there. Also you just might want to ask this person how much he thinks is fair, if you trust him to not rip you off.

Q: My toyota camry 2001 LE after starting, the engine runs at 1500 rpm for about 10 minute.Ưhy and hơ to solve?
why and how to solve?

A: If it is cool or cold outside, then that is the computers way of warming up the engine more quickly. If it were to idle at say 800 rpm, it would take a fair bit longer for it to warm up. Part of the logic of this, is that having the engine warm up quicker will cause less wear and that getting it to operating temperature sooner also reduces emissions.

Q: How can I disassemble my car's rear lamp part to replace first right brake bulb?(2001 TOYOTA CAMRY LE V6) TKS
And bulb model? Thank you again!

A: Here is a link with the instructions.

Q: does a 2001 toyota camry le has a steel timing belt?


A: You have a rubber timing belt, Recomend changeing 80 to 90K, IF it brakes there will be no other damage but the car wont run, you will have to have it towed.

Q: I have a 2001 Toyota Camry LE and it does not want to start/stay on. Pressing the gas will keep it running.?
My car has been towed to the shop twice in the past 3 months! And each time a different problem was found, but the same thing would happen when i got it home. They replaced the timing belt and water pump (not part of the issue i think) and yesterday was the last time in the shop and they replaced my battery and spark plugs, along with a throttle body cleaning. Now its not in the morning or afternoon, just when it feels like it - it will start and idle low then eventually die. My electrical stuff will still work. Now if i start it and hold my foot on the gas and keep it at 2 or 3 rpms for a few seconds-minutes, most of the time it will stay on. This has become less effective lately. Now i will have to start it and it will idle below 1 and quickly put it into drive, after a few minutes of shaky driving it will run normal. Has anyone else had this problem? They mechanic thinks im crazy because of course when he has it my car will start right up! i am very frusterated and hope someone can please help.. thanks for your time ;)

A: It very well could be your fuel injectors. If you replace 1 you should replace them all, Not an inexpensive thing to do but take it and get a diagnosis from the machines at a local body shop, that will narrow your problem down. It usually costs about $25 for the diagnosis.

Q: Turbo for a 2001 Toyota Camry (V6 LE)?
Anybody know of a turbo system you can put on an 01 Toyota Camry? I know the Supra's with the same 3.0 liter V6 have a twin turbo... What are some alternatives?

A: The 3.0 litre in your Camry is not the same 3.0 litre found in the Supra. I believe TRD might have a Supercharger for it- don't quote me on that though. You have one of the top ten best motors on the planet. Why mod it?

Q: Bosch 4 point platinums spark plugs for a 2001 i-4 LE Toyota Camry?!?!?
Do Bosch 4 point platinums spark plugs really work when it comes to increasing engine performance? Do they really deliver what the company claims they do? Would anyone suggest it for a 2001 i-4 LE Toyota Camry?

A: I own a shop, and have been down this road so many times. First let me say this: Auto manufactures spend millions of dollars on research & development on their engines. The type of plug a vehicle requires is based on many factors, and not just based on one factor. Anytime there is more fire, an engine will naturally burn more fuel. No engine burns totally 100% of the mixture , and the idea of adding more spark seems to be a reasonable idea. I build race engines, and we use ignition systems that make the spark plug do a double spark, thus the length of the spark is increased over the spectrum. Making a spark plug have more than one spark, does not increase it's ability, but does take more power from the ignition system to jump 4 places as apposed to 1. Lets say your system is designed to give you one 40,000 volt spark. If you divide that by 4 without increasing the ignition systems ability (power) to do this, what you have is four 10,000 volt archs across the plug. A spark plug works by jumping a voltage spike to ground. Power comes into the electrode, and jumps to (ground) the tip/tips, thus creating a spark. The question is; Does one 40,000 volt arch do a better job than splitting this into four? Common sense will tell you; there is a reason the manufactures use the particular plugs they installed into the engine from the factory. We live in a world of efficency now, and if there was a better spark plug on the market, then you can assure it would be in your engine from the manufacture. A sticker is placed either on the radiator housing, or the hood, that tells you what plugs are recommended for your engine, and what gap they should be set on. Anything outside of this (in my opinion) is snake oil. In the race world we live on the edge where .0001 of one second stands between winning or going home. We try every spark plug we can, in order to get an advantage, so if we can't tell a difference with these plugs, then how are you going to? Many companies make many claims, and tell you they can back it up with proof, but I believe in results. If I can't see results, then I don't buy into their claims. Unless you intend to go with a hotter ignition system, then put the plugs in it that came in it from the factory. You will be glad you did. They will be cheaper, last just as long, and work best for your application. This has been an age old arguement, and spark plug companies sell a lot of these plugs, but a standard spark plug will go 75,000 miles without any trouble, so I would think improving on this would be mighty hard to do. If you look at any vehicles owners manual at the schedule for doing a tune up, you will see the recommendations for changing the spark plugs to be up there. I just don't see the value in paying that much for something that may not work as well. I would not recommend putting these in your Camry. What they don't tell you is; these plugs do seem to work better at first, but 10,000 miles down the road you start having a miss that you can't seem to figure out where its coming from, and you discount it as being the plugs because you paid for the best, and they shouldn't be giving trouble, "heck" you just put them in there not long ago, they couldn't be the problem. No, they don't last as long as the normal factory recommended plugs do, but hey, they got platumum, they must be better. Whats next, gold & diamonds? Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!
