1997 Avalon radio theft problem

Why are you looking for an oil solenoid. A misfire is only caused by two things

A fuel injection issue
or
An ignition/firing/spark issue

It appears to be a well documented issue on the Avalon. Take a look at the videos.

Also clean the Throttle body and MAF

i would suspect a bad or corroded connection someplace

Have you locked and unlocked the driver door with the key ?

Try unhooking your battery for about ten mins. This might reset your security system. You might also try locking all the doors and then unlocking with the key.

Hi.
The 'factory' radio has the security feature built into it.

You can add any type of aftermarket radio with no problems.

Thanks for using FixYa!

try resetting the computer which involves unhooking the battery for about 15 minutes. if you have an anti-theft radio make sure you know the code and how to enter it.

You need to call the dealership and get the radio code and reset procedures

It won't crank? Does the alarm system works? Like locking and unlocking the doors? If that work, check cranking voltage to starter solenoid with a test light. But before, check all fuses under dash and hood. Make sure battery connections are clean and tight. There is more but try this for now. Let me know of the solenoid test and please ask any questions.

you can take it to a dealer and they can reprogram it for you.. good luck keith...

The procedure is written in the manual
