The surging problem was traced to a faulty egr sensor. The egr provides data to the EMC. Toyota trained techs could not find the fault. Took a local mechanic to figure it out. Interesting the computer reading came up clear...no fault...yet the egr was faulty. Disappointed with Toyota franchise dealer that a serviceable item could not be detected by their processes and procedure, but a local mechanic with his head screwed on properly figured it out. The car is just perfect now. Wife has never been happier.
I'm looking at the y-pipe mod. I may have a local custom made pipe made. Ideally I'd like to show a photos of what one looks like. Can anyone help me out ? Car 2005 Camry Altise V6 3.0L
I understand that the appropriate spark plugs have twin electrodes such as (NGK Laser Platinum Spark Plug - BKR6EKPB-11). The plugs shown on Ebay have a single electrode. or these at US $45 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-07-08-09-Genuine-Toyota-Camry-V6-Spark-Plugs-OEM-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4839e5ff2fQQitemZ310209019695QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
I have decided to solve the fuel surging issue myself. I'll start with swaping the fuel pump over. Anybody have an idea the genuine Toyota replacement fuel pump costs ? Ebay USA has lots of apparently suitable fuel pumps. Thanks,
While I agree that the cat should not be removed for all the obvious reasons. If there is no gain in power by bypassing the cat how come so much money is being spent by performance cars and others to legitimately reduce back pressure by fitting hi flow cats?
I expect it will make a difference. Didn't expect answers in a PC context.
Does anyone have experience with removing the catalytic converter and the change in performance ? Track use of-course. I imagine the car should run cooler and perhaps rev a bit quicker ?
