2000 Toyota Camry Solara - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Yes it can be the fuse problem.the fuses needs to be checked.
The other possibility can be short in the wiring's but needs to be checked.
There is a fuse associated with the clock. It is the same fuse for the Cigarette lighter, check the small panel by the drivers side pull out the coin holder and look at the diagram at the back to find where the fuse is. 
In the Toyota Cramy Solara there are 3 fuse panels.

The main one is down by the drivers kick panel, another is by the passengers kick panel and last one  in the main engine compartment.

Thanks. you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

Have the idle bypass valve checked, also called idle air control valve.
If that valve is stuck in the closed position, it's not allowing the fuel to bypass the throttle plate to keep it idling, resulting in stalling, but will keep engine running if the pedal is pushed down.

No this is not normal, Sounds like you may be getting a little oil mixed with the water flow. I would have this checked out because you may have a crack within the engine allowing oil to mix with your coolant system.

YOU GOT A IGNITION WIRE TO STARTER SHORTING TO GROUND.

push and hold trip lever in while turnig switch to on position watch for dashes to dissapear or maint light stops flashing hope this helps please rate

u should have had the trans serviced, the belts and hoses replaced, the cooling system serviced, a new thermostat and the spark spark plugs replaced at 160,000 km, also air and fuel filters if they haven't been done in the last 30,000 miles or 50,000 Km. right now if all the above was done you should be good to go.

if ck engine light comes on there IS A PROBLEM, it does not come on for no reason trust me i do this for a living.....but to reset disconnect negative battery cable for atleast ten seconds

It easy ! You need a philips and flat screw driver,8" X 4" block of wood and a needle nose pliar.
Use flat screw driver and pry out the two or three dust covers for the arm rest screws then use philips and remove the screws. Next use the flat screw driver and pry out the black plastic mirror cover from the inside of the door. Pry out the switch panel ( aka master switch panel) with the flat screw driver and disconnect it. On the side of the door panel just above the striker is this plastic push pull typeof a hold in screw. Use flat screw driver to get it to move a little then pull it out with the needle nose. Depending on which door your doing if you have a map folder ( driver or front passenger door) in the door there are two more screw to remove on the bottom of the door.
Now the inside door handle is tricky it comes out in two pieces. Use philips and get the only hold down screw you see out.( you may have to pry out al ittle screw cover first) Now the handle cover is removed by placeing the flat screw driver on the rear of the outside of the cover top and on the outside rear bottom to release the tangs that are holding it onto the panel.Pry it out lightly you may have to place the screw driver over the top of the door release button and pry that way. Don't loose your cool its a pain but it will fall out. Once its removed unhook the panel.

Next lift the plastic cover and remove the six gold bolts first(For motor and regulator) Then push the window down till you see the two bolts holding the window to the regulator .Remove them, BEFORE YOU PULL OUT THE MOTOR AND REGULATOR YOU WILL SEE TWO TANGS THAT HELP HOLD THE REGULATOR AND MOTOR TO THE DOOR MARK THE RELOCATION , NOW pull out the motor and regulator have an assistant hold up the glass while you place the two blocks of wood to hold up the window. Now order your regulator and installation is in reverse. Good luck kate. Keep me posted.
Comments:

The abs is not working and in order to determine why you should take it to Autozone and have them scan the ECU for codes its free. Tell me the code and we will take it from there.

You need to get your brakes and tires checked out. Hope this helps!?

Please rate solution - Thanks.

below the intake hose RH side of the engine. You will see the lower radiator hose running to it. let me know if u need more info!! Hopefully this helps!!

A yellow spark is usually a sign of a weak coil, change that, it should cure the problem, if not, then further testing is needed.

Your dealorship can best answer that question for you.

- There is no drain plug on the transmission. You will need to remove all bolts from trans oil pan.

SAFETY: Use Proper protective equipment. Jack stands, eye protection etc.

We like to use a garbage can lid with a small drain hole in it as a funnel, As it is larger than the pan and oil will seem like its coming from all directions. so try to let the pan fall from one side.

There is a magnet in the bottom of the pan, remove clean and replace.

This is a great time to also re-torque the valve body bolts. You will need a tech-manual for this.

Install new gasket. torque all bolts. Add fluid approx 4 quarts of the correct fluid and restart vehicle check fluid level often and check for leaks.

HAZMAT:
Ensure you properly dispose of the waste transmission fluid at your local hazmat center.

Hope this tip helps.

the red release tab is sticking on the buckle take it to toyota to fix i believe it was a recall in 2000

I would verify the correct oil filter is installed.

maybe 500.00 to 1000.00 dollars depending on what model solara ,like if it convertable or if it an se or sle and also how many miles are on it, its hard to sell a car that doesnt run and even harder if the motor is blown, start at $ 1000,00 and go from there.good luck.

your code relates to the egr system, vacuum hose leaks are more common for code setting. Also check vacuum modulator as they are known to faile more often than egr valve. If all check out o.k. and there are no exhaust leaks, suspect e.c.m. problem.
