My check engine light is just showed up about 2 days ago while I was driving. I thought it was my sparks plugs and maybe the car needs a tune up since it already has 75000 miles. So I called my local toyota dealer and they said that a tune up or spark plugs have nothing to do with the light. They said it was either my sensors, exhaust, or fuel. They want $75 up front too check it out and maybe some more if I want them too fix what is wrong.
I don't want to spend $75 just for checking what is wrong, but I can tell you I notice a change in gas mileage. I just pumped my gas to half tank yesterday and I only drove for maybe 30 miles on normal condition (shift at around 3k RPM) My gas went down to 1/4 tank. Thats crazy. So does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? |

ok i just took my car too my local autozone today after school. They hooked this thing up too this connector under the steering wheel kind of. It read Code P0401 then says my EGA valve is not running effieciently. He showed me where is was and what I had to do. I had to take it off and clean the carbon out which might take care of it.
