toyota camry 1999 model
The check engine light (MIL) is lit on my car..so i took the car to an private mechanic. He took 80$ and finally came up with the fact that the evaporator canister/VSV assembly needs to be replaced and is asking about $700-$800.Is it really worth doing it through a non-dealer or is it good to go to a dealer.what is the reason for this to happen.

Re: toyota camry 1999 model
I would advise to check it with the dealers first before spending money on a private mechanic. Some mechanics will charge too high for a cheap fix. Go to the dealer and see what the problem is, how much they'll repair it for and what parts needs to be replaced.

Re: toyota camry 1999 model
And before you get it fixed at all --- that code can be caused by overfilling the gas tank (I'm told) or leaving the car idling for too long (I've experienced that).
Try driving it for a few days. You may find that, like mine, the trouble may clear itself. |

Re: toyota camry 1999 model
No, with a problem like this, you don't want to risk creating more problems for the car. Go check it out with the dealers as soon as you can. Even if it's a computer error or miniscule problem, you don't want to shrug this off, especially if it's a engine problem.

Re: toyota camry 1999 model
Before you let a dealer charge you big bucks for a new canister come back here. Unless your car is under warranty or you're getting a recall fixed there is no need to take your car to a dealership for maintenance. For some parts yes but, never for maintenance!!!! Never!!!
