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? |

make sure the egr is not stuck closed, check for vacuum leaks, check the vacuum modulator, and then check the vsv. check the vsv when its hot becuase i had one that would work when it was cool and quit working when it warmed up. if u want info on how too check this stuff let me know.
