1997 Toyota Camry 4 cyclinder 4 door, encountered P0402 has 3 months already. The car is drivable. What is the solution? Could replacement of a vsv value resolve this issue? Which part can I buy? Is there a Toyota compatible part to buy on the market? Is the quality going to be the same and match the current 1997 Camry? Thanks.

Hi,
That is the code for Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow (EGR) Excessive Detected

Read more at: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0402

Go to the site and review what causes and can be checked to fix it.

I'd start w/cleaning the EGR valve - free fix - and then consider replacing the part. I'd look for USED parts @ a local Salvage/Wrecking yard vs. buying new, due the cost and the fact that this is an older car.

GL,
TD

SOURCE: Broken spring on the gas fuel tank door on Toyota ''Camry'' 1998

Go to your nearest Toyota dealer. Purchase this part number: 77360-22020; approx 4 dollars.

Open the fuel door. Being careful, remove the leftover plastic that is hooked by the door hinge. Insert the new spring assembly under the slot, and press it in until it clicks into place. Very easy to do.
Hope this helps, and thanks for choosing FixYa.

SOURCE: 2007 toyota camry-idel problem/dealership has not resolved can't find problem

I had the same problem with my 2001 Toyota Echo after it reached about 110,000 miles. At red lights & stop signs, the car began to noticeably vibrate. At first I suspected a transmission problem or a broken engine mount. Upon looking deeper, however, neither was the problem. Instead, it turned out to be a dirty air filter under the hood. I changed the air filter & the situation improved noticeably. It turns out the dirty air filter was restricting air flow into the car's computerized sensors & as a result it was idling very rough when in Drive at red lights & stop signs when I was going 0 MPH & my foot was off the gas pedal. After changing the air filter, the situation improved greatly, although it still vibrates a little bit but nothing like it did before. Toyota air filters cost about $11 (give or take) & can be changed in 5 to 10 minutes if you know how to do it. Hope this helps...Have A Great Day...

Hi,

Firstly, ensure you have the required 'mixture' of coolant/water (must have required coolant).

Second, I would recommend you re-test all the cooling system sensors again (make sure they're within specifications), in case a new one is faulty.

Third, ensure the new thermostat was of the correct temp setting (they all differ), so that it opens at the required time. Most cooling systems operate within 90 - 100degC.

Fourth, make sure the radiator (and associated hoses) aren't blocked.

If your temp gauge is reading higher than normal, but NOT in the danger zone...then this can be considered normal (especially if you've replaced with new components) and nothing to be concerned about.

However, if the temp gauge IS in the danger zone....then this suggests the coolant is not flowing through the cooling system properly.

If all above components test ok, then it's possible your water pump may not be pumping enough volume.

Cheers,

Testimonial: "I appreciate your help...Maybe I should just relace the water pump, that would be the last thing that I would need to replace."

SOURCE: 2001 Toyota Camry - Removing driver interior door panel

you can take a screw driver and pry it off. Be careful if you have power windows, if it falls right off then it could pull the wires loose. The panels have clips that clip to the door. Therefore, the only way to get the panel off is to pry it off.

How long would it take to replace the power steering high pressure hoses on a Toyota Camry 1988 4 cyclinder. Do i need any special tools ?

Hi,
It would take 15 minutes to take out that hose and install new one.
You need two open wrench to get it off, one for holding the nut and the other one would be to unscrew it.
Hope that helps you out!
Thanks for using Fixya!
