I recently bought a new set of plug wires and a distributor cap for my
89 4cyl. Problem now is that one of the screws on the cap is stripped
somehow and rotates in its socket without moving out.
Anybody have any bright ideas on what my next course of action should

Can anyone suggest a possible solution to the problem that I am facing
with headlight?

I just bought a used 1995 4 dr Camry and I have a couple of questions for
you Camry lovers.  The interior lighting of the Camry seems very dark.
The dome light does not come on and I have checked the fuse and the only
thing left to do is to change the dome light bulb, but the cover ...

The car runs perfectly but I notice in the fall and winter for the
first mile or so before the temperature guage comes off the peg, the
tranny won't shift into over drive.  Once it warms up a bit and the
temp guage comes off the peg, everything is fine.  In the summer, it

The previous owner of my car (the original onwer, that is) tell me that
she changed the timing belt periodically per Toyota's reccomendations.
That being said, the car had 204,000 miles on it when she gave it to me.
It now has 214,000 miles. Should I be changing the timing belt ...

Just bought a 97 Camry from my folks. 56,000 miles, well maintained,
in almost perfect condition. Got about 2 hours down the road and it
threw a rod. The engine is ruined and will have to be replaced,
according to the mechanic.

What is the way to calculate miles per gallon for the car.
Measuring distance is quite easy, but how to measure how much fuel i used
for that distance.

I am driving a 4 cylinder 1994 Camry LE.
I want to know what is the normal Engine RPM under following situations-
1. When idling/park
2. When starting from Parking Condition on straingt road & on hill Road.

Trying to fix a 2 drop/day oil leak, I've been refusing to acknowledge that
a portion of the head gasket area is slightly wet. Also lot of accumulation
near the junction where the upper radiator hose enters the block, near the
distributor.  So far, I have no coolant in my antifreeze ...

Does anyone know how to change the dash light bulbs?  Don't want to break
the dash covers and do not want to set off any airbags or short anything.
Thanks,

Steering wheel vibrates visibly while in Drive when stopped, less in Park,
and even less in Neutral. I'm concerned about the level of vibration - no
other cars I drive are even close.  Is this engine mounts, transmission
problem, timing, or something else?

I had my cap and wires replaced and am experiencing problems after it
rains. Ive learned there is a gasket that must be instaled inbetween the
cap and distributor that I think the mechanic may have forgot to instal.
Is this gasket visible just looking at the distributor, I can not ...

Just to get this clarified from the other post.
My Haynes manual seems to indicate that only the V6's have a knock sensor.
Does anyone KNOW if the 4 cyl has one?
thanks

Friend at work was surprised that I hadn't had the timing belt changed on my
97 Camry with 93K miles.  He claims I'll ruin my engine if it goes and it'll
cost me 4 grand in repair work.  I told him all it would do is leave me
stranded by the side of the road and cost me 3 hundred ...
