Here is my 3rd complaint for my lovely rattletrap of a car, the freakin oxygen sensor. The engine light comes on, take it to have the computer check it and print out what the problem is. Lo and behold the same damn problem I had fixed a few months ago, the fuel air meter, or oxygen sensor. I had it FIXED!!! I still have the damn paper where I got a new one. What is the problem here? These cars SUCK, I HATE IT!!! This is a one owner car, and I knew the people we got it from. These 99 models are defective and Toyota needs to fix the problems. I am sick and tired of dealing with it. I refuse to buy another sensor, it can blow up for all I care. It is a beautiful car, nice wheels, centercaps are loose, but it is a beautiful car, but looks can be deceiving. Don't buy the 99 Camry, CE or LE. They are LEMONS.

Dealership service depts. are ripping off owners by charging for reading out engine trouble codes and for resetting the Check Engine light, when AutoZone will do the readout free and ANY owner can reset the light easily. Also, I suspect they are doing a lot of costly replacements when frequently all that is needed is a simple maintenance procedure, like tightening the gas cap or replacing the engine air filter.

To reset the Camry Check Engine light, find the RELAY/FUSE box under the hood on the driver's side near the battery. With the engine turned off, remove the cover of the box and look at the diagram imside the cover. Find the EFI fuse (not the EFI realy, which is also in the box).. With your fingertips, or with a needle nose pliers (gently), pull out the EFI fuse. After about a minute, push the fuse back into its holder. Then start the car and the Check Engine light will go off. If you're lucky it will stay off.
