why? you felt it , or the scan tool told you? or both? misfire, means.: that cylinder had very weak power . takes 3 things to have strong power, compression at spec. spark and fuel ratio correct. 1,2,3 any can fail, and in that order. order matters. if this is a scan tool error, DTC, post the codes, or we fail.

The new ignition key needs to be programmed to work with the immobilizer system, right now the computer is not recognizing the key because it is not programmed, you'll need to get the dealer involved to do this .

The purge valve is located under the hood near the air filter, one of the hoses has a green valve with a cap on it.

I'm not familiar with the car or location of relays. But if all circuits are live under the hood and dead inside I would trace the main wiring harness to where it enters the firewall and disconect it and check for corrosion,broken or heat damaged wires and terminals.

A few possibilities, either the window regulator has broken, or the bracket that holds the glass at the bottom has come loose from the glass. The bracket can pull off the glass, especially with power windows when you're trying to lower the window and it is stuck from freezing or old glass runs that are trapping the window from moving. re-installing the bracket to the glass is often tricky, and it is easy to shatter the glass. Often best left for a car repair shop or an automotive glass shop to repair. You will need to remove the door panel to inspect for what the issue is, and then repair it accordingly.

form the fsm i paste Possible causes - EGR Valve clogged, dirty or leaky - EGR valve damaged/defective - EGR volume control solenoid valve - EGR temperature sensor and circuit - EGR volume control solenoid valve harness is open or shorted - EGR volume control solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection the tests are in the FSM. or here http://www.scantool.net/software/alldata-diy-1-month-subscription.html

ever do the 60k mile tuneup? this decade? if it does run perfect and only hesitates for a second (you never said when) you TIP-IN the throttle. and it hesitates for a very short time (1s) and then catches up (does it) and WOT is good power.(wide open throttle) up a hill then that is a BAD TPS. Hard to test and ECU never reports it for one good reason, the ECU thinks the driver is crazy so ignores it, (some times driving crazy is justified) see? like passing, and should not be... the TPS gets worn and it fails to report your fast foot and the ECU fails to activate Enrichmode, the Air meters. catch up, and power returns. i can test any TPS , i have a scope, to see the glitch failures most shops just replace it on suspicion.

EVAP failure. this means the gas tank venting system is leaking or the tests parts bad. the FSM covers all tests. to find true cause. and is always here http://www.scantool.net/software/alldata-diy-1-month-subscription.html

Check to see if you have a faulty sensor, or even a broken wire to the sensors

overheated your engine to the point your rings broke, leaving you with no or low compression. Replace engine

Number 1: get the code; even if they light turns off an on, the code will be stored in the computer. It sounds like you could have a variety of issues and more information needs to be given. How is the car running? Does it run & idle perfectly or does it stumble?

take the gas tank off and out and run a hot wire from the battery to the pump and see if it comes on if not change it its burn up if it comes on then ur hot wire is broke in too some where or a fuse in the trunk or where ever ur fuse box is at

Fuel Filter has nothing to do with the motor turningYou would know how old the fuel filter is & is wasrunning okey,so that isn't the issueHow about checking the battery

Just shake your camry steering wheel while pulling the stuck ignition key.

B1S1 means first (upstream) , closest sensor to cyl. head , usualy at exhaust manifold.Bank 1 is cyl. head with cyl.#1 if you have V6 engine.
Best choice for brand - Denso.

Generally speaking the number you need is the average of all cylinders, then no more than + or - 10%.I would say if you have 100psi in all cylinders you are ok as long as none of the cylinders are more than 10 or 20 psi off from that.

Code 1705 is brand specific, for Toyota it is for a problem with a clutch sensor inside the transmission.The sensor would need to be tested by a mechanic or someone with the tools and diagnostic info.

did u ever figure it out?

It could be that the engine has a cracked cylinder or blown head gasket.Drop the engine oil and check for water presence.Check the radiator for oil presence.Pull off the rocker cover cap and check for condensation.Any sign of contamination in either the radiator or engine, is a sign that the headgasket or cylinder is faulty.

Check the power steering oil level in the reservoir.Also check the power steering system for leaks.If no leaks present, then check operation of pump.
