others about a certain tool and the salesmen made the statement 'we

I'm about to replace the timing belt on my '97 Camry 4 cylinder.  The
Chilton instructions mention setting the number 1 cylinder to TDC of
the compression stroke.
How do you do that on this engine?

I just bought a 1994 Camry LE 3.0L and it failed the Ontario Vehicle
Emissions Inspection to my surprise.
The engine runs super smooth and all the leaks at the flanges were
fixed.  Here are the results of the tests...

To change the timing belt.  I've always done it with an impact wrench.

Damned if I can find it.  What I see is a thin metal plate which seems

My dealer told me that the first oil change should be done after
first 5000 miles.  Is it true?  I heard people say that first oil
change should be done after first 1000 miles since engine just breaks

warm, etc.  At first I thought it was the leaking distributor O-ring
(which was leaking oil anyway).  I took the car to a mechanic to have
the O-ring replaced (and heater core coolant hoses too, while I was at

My '97 camry rattles inside the timing cover only when the car is
cold.  Sounds like bearing failure.  I replaced the Water pump and
both idlers when I did the timing belt even though they all felt fine.
The noise went away for about 5K miles and returned.  It only happens

I recently bought a '98 Camry LE and it runs great. Today, when
checking the oil and poking my nose under the hood, I noticed a
plunger switch in the  upper far right corner and which is depressed
when the hood is closed. I have no idea what it is for. I went through

We own a 2007 Camry Hybrid and need to store it for about 3 months.
Do I need to take special storage precautions or can I just have a
friend come by and start it once in a while?
Thanks for your input,

My Camry has a smart key system and I am wanting to know what to do in
situations where someone else would have to park my car. I assume that

transponder, but then what could I do so that the transponder does not

Check engine light came on today and I had it the code checked at the local
auto store. Came up as a P 1175 code, "Cam control Fault". The person at the
store didn't seem to know much about it. I can't get anyone to look at until
next week and I need to travel about 500 miles to ...
