Have 1997 Toyota Camry LE with four cylinder engine. Replacing current engine with a 1998 toyota engine. The 1998 engine has a blue four-pin connector while the 1997 engine does not have this connector. Any idea what this blue four-pin connector on the 1998 engine is for? Thanks.

Well if it is a 4 cylinder the timing marks would be small hole in camshaft lined up with little dot on head at 12 o'clock position and the crank with the pulley on should line up with 0 on the timing indicator. If it is a 6 cyl then the marks would be- camshafts both with dots up and lined up with indicaters on heads and crank timing mark on 0 with the harmonic balancer installed. Hope this helps.

Here are step-by-step instructions for the removal and re-installation of your ignition cylinder on your Toyota. Hope this sheds some light on the subject and solves your problem. Have a great day!

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. If equipped with an air bag, wait at least 90 seconds before working on the vehicle.

1. Remove the lower steering column cover. Unfasten the ignition switch connector under the instrument panel.
2. Remove the screws which secure the upper and lower halves of the steering column cover.
3. Turn the lock cylinder to the ACC position with the ignition key.
4. Push the lock cylinder stop in with a small, round object (cotter pin, punch, etc.).

1. Withdraw the lock cylinder from the lock housing while depressing the stop tab.
2. To remove the ignition switch, unfasten its securing screws and withdraw the switch from the lock housing.

1. Align the locking cam with the hole in the ignition switch and insert the switch into the lock housing.
2. Secure the switch with its screw(s).
3. Make sure both the lock cylinder and column lock are in the ACC position. Slide the cylinder into the lock housing until the stop tab engages the hole in the lock.
4. Install the steering column covers.
5. Connect the ignition switch wiring.

This site will tell you what you need to know. good luck with this.

http://autorepair.about.com/od/otherodddiyjobs/l/aa092504a.htm. In addition to the advice at the above site, I found another trick to removing the trim around the inside door handle. The above article refers to putting a screwdriver UNDER the door handle and pushing down ... to release a "secret latch". That's the first step. The second step (which is not in the article) is to insert the scredriver ABOVE the door handle ... vertically above the spot shown in the article. Then gently press the screwdriver handle down. With the screwdriver acting as a lever, the tip of the screwdriver will push UP on the top part of the trim. That will lift the trim up off a small pin on the handle mechanism. With both the bottom and top of the trim piece now "unlatched", slide the trim toward the back of the car, while you open the inside door handle (as mentioned in the article). The trim will come right off. Be sure to slide the trim toward the back of the car, as you move the trim away from the door panel. (There is a "hooked" piece of plastic on the back of that trim that prevents you from just pulling it out perpendicular to the door panel.) 'Hope these fine points help.

That code is for the evaporative emmisions system. Here is a link to an open forum you can go to, this will help you understand what it is, and why. The vehicle on the site is a van, but the code, and parts involved are one in the same, so don't worry about the difference in vehicle. The van is a toyota, and this is the information on the p0446 code. Hope this helps you.
