Toyota echo floor heater problems
Check passenger side, under dash, make sure any loose linkage is actually attached to the baffle levers. I had this happen. Passenger accidently kicked the linkage off and suddenly we had no heat. It was seriously cold inside. Mechanic showed me the linkage disconnect on passenger side under the dash right under the glove compartment.
How do i get check engine light out for emmision test
You cannot make the check engine light go off by replacing or removing a fuse. You need to fix the problem that is causing the light to come on. It might be as simple as replacing the gas cap. I would take the car to AutoZone or another auto parts store and have the trouble codes read. The store will usually give you a printout of possible problems associated with the code(s). If you want to spend the money you could buy a code reader and read the codes and then clear the codes which will cause the check engine light to go off for a short time (maybe long enough to get theemission test done if you're lucky!).
Air conditioner blows hot air
You can buy an inexpensive fill kit with a gauge on it. It hooks to the "LOW" pressure side of the system (grey cap near the dash on the passenger side) if you look just about where the fender well is under the hood, you can see another smaller grey cap. This is the high side. There is a little window there that if you see bubbles in it, it needs Freon. Hope this helps.
PO442
code p0442 refers to evaporative emission (EVAP) system--small leak detected====causes hose connection/s---intake leak--EVAP canister---EVAP canister purge valve
it also refers to evaporative emission system --large leak detected (fuel cap loose/ off)===causes---mechanical fault--hose connection/s--EVAP pressure sensor.
Check engine PO460
This code indicates a catalyst problem. Most likely the catalytic converter is bad. You could replace the Oxygen Sensors which might solve the problem.
Other Possible Causes:
- Three way catalyst converter Bank 2
- Exhaust tube
- Intake air leaks
- Fuel injectors may be faulty
- Fuel injector leaks
- Spark plugs may be faulty
- Improper ignition timing
- Engine Control Module (ECM)

Brakes felt solid, after around 2 minuetes was fine. what can it be
Didn't Toyota have a recall on some models for brakes? Check the recall website.
I get the impression there is a problem with the brake servo as in it works one minute, brakes are good, then there is a lack of servo assistance, brakes are hard.
Locate the brake servo behind the brake master cylinder. See the hose running to the inlet manifold? If this has any wear marks, chaffing marks, it could be leaking vacuum, (the servo is vacuum not pressure), and need replacing.
It has to be the correct type of hose to resist collapse when the vacuum is created otherwise you would have no brakes at all and the pedal would be hard all the time. Check the manifold connections at the same time. There is a chance the hose is partially blocked or damaged internally and only replacement with a new piece will do.
Don't drive it until you have eliminated the problem, it could be your life.

Hi .
Brake booster or master cylinder so try the foot brake with engine off ,pedal should be hard now rest your foot on brake pedal and push down and start engine and the pedal should go down about 3cm
if it goes down but the car still rolls then you have a master cylinder problem.
Answer go to the brake people as your life is in danger.
