2000 Toyota Camry Solara - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

its most likly going to be the cylinoid that is atached to the starter not letting power get to the starter.

I have kept my cars running for a long time (250k+) by changing fluids as u are doing, and fixing things right away, not letting them develop into bigger problems, so u are destined to have your car for a long time! Many of the maintenance items u list are typically NEVER done by anyone, but they should be. Here's what I recommend from many years of maintaining my cars:
ps flush-50k or 5 yrs
brake fluid flush- every time u have brakes replaced.
Rad.drain, flush, fill -new coolant is said to be good for life of car, I would flush and refill 50/50 coolant water mix every 4 years.
Fuel Injection- I'll get flak over this, but I never do anything to the system, just change your fuel filter every 2 years, or 20k
Trans Flush-don't have it done if they '**** out' the fluid from the dipstick tube. I consider that method a waste. Have the pan removed to drain it, and replace the trans filter if equipped w/ one (u can't change the filter if u **** the fluid out of the dipstick.) Also, some vehicles have a magnet on the bottom of the trans. pan, which collects fine shavings from normal wear and tear (and pieces of metal from a trans. about to go bad). U need to drop the pan to clean this crud off the magnet.
oil and filter (good quality filter-cheap junky ones are much lighter than a quality one) every 3k or twice a year whichever comes 1st
I'll add: air filter- every 20k or once a year
check tire air pressure once a month, rotate tires for even wear (every 5k miles) Can I buy your well maintained car when u r ready to sell it?

check for voltage at the lamps themselves. If no voltage is present, check headlamp relay,.Rarely it could also be the multi-function switch, but don't go there first! Also, did you try a new bulb?(s)

well you could take it to your local parts store like advance auto or auto zone or whatever you have there and they will do it for free and tell you all the problems for free

check your brake fluid.

if the metal that covers the inside of the door doesnt come off you've got a job ahead of you but if you can get it off by drilling out the rivets this makes everything so much eaisier

No the alternator won't keep it running on a Toyota, the system is wired much different than most cars, found this out the hard way on same type of car. Test the alternator, raise the idle up to 1500 RPM turn on everything in the car, lites on high beam, ac blower on high, everything, voltage at battery should not be less than about 13.5 volts and not more than 14.7 volts, (clean battery cables first) if all that checks out you have a draw in the system, most common source is the glove box lite or trunk lite, on rare occasions a bad isolation diode in the alternator can cause a voltage draw, another test is to pull off the positive battery battery cable at night and lightly touch it to the battery post, if you see any faint spark there is a draw somewhere in the system, these types of issues can be heck to find, but not always, check what I said to. And last but not least clean the battery cables thoroughly, get a battery brush tool from parts store they are cheap, neutralize any acid with a solution of baking soda and warm tap water.

u need to install a new O/S on it

Try win XP SP2

insert cd and follow the instructions.

best regards

plz do rate this poste if u can.

Go on the internet (Goggle) and run a search for used engines for your car, get a few prices with shipping, then contact the dealer armed with that info, I bet the price will come down.

If you are having no driveability issues, leave the fuel filter alone. Changing the filters is really a "thing of the past", as the fuel is reasonably clean these days; I have cut fuel filters open to see the level of contamination, I rarely find any. BUT: if you DO try this, expect to replace the line from the filter to the tank. More often than not, when the filter is installed, the threads are pulled really TIGHT, and when you remove the filter, the male threads on the fuel delivery line stay IN the female threads of the filter. Again, if your vehicle is running fine, the fuel filter is the LAST thing that I would fool with.

The "new style" fuel nozzles have a "detector" built in to stop the fuel delivery by the amount of air pressure being forced up from the level of fuel in the tank; this prevents spillage. I had the same problem, but, I noticed that I was NOT jamming the rubber thingy on the nozzle all of the way up against where the cap screws on. After I jammed it all of the way in, the problem was eliminated. Try that, I think yopu will be OK.

The seat isn't electric for recline? There are known issues with seats. If it is a manually operated seat, I would remove it and look underneath. It sounds like a broken spring or loose connection to a linkage. https://www.google.com/search?q=toyota+solara+driver+seat+recliner+stuck ..
