I would look at the alternator. With everything that is going wrong it all comes down to charge. It would seem that the alternator is only working part time as it is on its way out. I am guessing that as you are driving it is only charging the battery sometimes and other times it is not charging the battery causing your issues. The alternator can be checked at any parts store for free without taking it out.

My guess you have a fuel delivery problem. Has the car been properly maintained? If the fuel filter has been replaced there are other parts of the system. Wild guess is a fuel pressure regulator may not be performing as it used to, therefore the fuel injectors are not getting the pressure they need. It could also be a fuel pump and or its fuel pump relay.

Is your rad fluid up where it should be? Is your rad plugged so air can't flow or does it need to be flushed? Replace your thermostat That may be the problem as well. If your fluid is up I would change the thermostat.as that is a likely problem. Check all hoses and make sure they are not kinked as well..

rear main seals mean that the transmission has to come out. Allow for 8 hours for the job. An accredited service centre will be able to do it in less so get quotes first

Several things can cause the warning light to come on, if you read your owner's manual it will explain this to you. Check that your parking brake is fully disengaged when you're driving around. Check your brake fluid level, there is a float sensor in there that will indicate a low level of fluid - low fluid can be from normal wear of the brakes, have them checked as they may be getting close to worn out or there might be a fluid leak somewhere.

Quite likely the rattle is a relay or solenoid that is trying to activate but there's not enough power to make it work properly. The solenoid on the starter motor will make such a noise when it's not getting enough power. Depending on location, getting 5 years from a battery is optimistic. Since you're mentioning the battery almost right away, I think you may have your answer but have not had it or your charging system tested. Your regular repair shop will be able to test your battery and charging system for you for a reasonable cost and will help you determine what steps you need to take next.

there is no shredder valve. ever get a tune up this decade? if not , now be that moment? does CEL lamp glow keyon and stay out running no matter, get it scanned, see if there DTC errors ??? that be first. checks.

great question. 1MZ-FE the V6 has a fuel rail and all rails made have a plug there (pipe plug) to test it or a mounted Schrader valve (rated for fuel not tire kind at all.) if not there we add one. on all cars. or make up and adapter there are many ways, depends on year. the plug on rail , the valve. on newer cars a quick disconnect line , you add matching Tee fitting. some have test port on the fuel filter is outside tank. here is 95 rail with no fitting, cant find 2000 the 2002 is non return system (2000 i dont know) summit racing sells a banjo bolt that is hollow to fit rails. remove banjo at crossover, put in new bolt and bam, got a port.

the running lights and headlights, while they may be on a single switch mechanically, they are actually separate circuits, with two or three separate fuses.... you need much deeper circuit tracing

electrically (old post) or physically ? electric is easy with schematics of both alldata.com,. easy peasy.

should already be properly gapped if you are putting them in new

All vehicles since 1981 some 35 years, have had computers doing the tuning,so no tune-ups,long gone, some 25 years ago The place you went to, obviously, just threw some parts at it & did not do what was required Now you can go back there or pay a second time, elsewhere to have your car properly worked on, to find any & all problems

it should tell you in your owners manual what type of oil to use also pop your hood and it should tell you on the black cap where you put your oil in the motor what it takes my Toyota Camry takes 5W-30 it is a 1999 so your 2000 probably takes the same if that helps

If i understand your question correctly, your shifter is stuck in park? Hopefully that is the case, look on the top part of the shifter console, there is a little square cover. You need to pop it open and press down on the button at the same time you take the shifter out of park.
