I have 2002 toyota camry that idles very slow and stalls out. I took it in to get checked and they tried to replace the mass air filter and it still was having the same problems. They told me that it must be the computer. Does this sound like the problem? Because it is very expensive to fix just want to make sure that is what the problem is. The car has 129,134 miles on it. Can anyone help Please???
I would check the idle air control valve. Read about it in the link below. Your mechanic doesn't seem to know what he's doing.

I'm assuming that it is a four cyl.The p0401 code is for insufficient egr flow.Most of the time it is the egr vsv valve (vsv means vacuum switching valve)which is what controls the vacuum to the egr valve to open it.It is kind of hard to get to as it is on the block under the head on the back side.If you follow the hose from the egr valve it goes to the vsv.I have also seen mice eat holes in the vacuum line which would also give you problems.I hope this help and let me know if you have anymore questions

Check the manufacture's Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating. Some manufacturers recommend a minimum CCA. If your CCA is below the manufacturer's specs, it can cause your car to run erratically. This also can cause problems with your computer and give you faulty DTC's. (Diagnostic Trouble Codes - Service Engine Soon Light) This especially causes problems with General Motors cars. I'm always hearing of people with these problems. Let me know how it works.

Hello. Welcome to FixYa. Please allow me to assist you.
What you have is this: Disconnecting the battery caused your car's computer to lose its 'base idle' parameters. This info is kept in the computer, but, removing power to the computer allows the info to be erased, so to speak.
This is, unfortunatly, a normal condition, and, easily rectified.
What you need to do: Get in the car, start it up, and drive it; simulating stop/start city traffic, and then take it out on the highway, hit passing gear a few times, pull off, and let it idle 30 seconds and repeat highway speed, and passing gear a few more times, then simulate city traffic again. You might need to apply a slight bit of gas during the idle periods of the drive. If you do it right, you can reset the base idle parameter under10 minutes.
If you have any questions, please feel free to get back to me via reposting.
Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance today.
