Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Misc to model category.
A scan tool will turn off codes alerts, but depending on the severity, the CEL will come straight back on, or it might come on a week later when set parameters aren't met. I had the CEL on on my Lexus. The dealership told me it needed a new thermostat and the cleared the code. About 2 weeks later it came back on. I asked my tire guy and he also said it was the thermostat. I told him that the car wasn't overheating and it seemed fine. He read out the parameters for the code and it was something like 'Coolant temperature not attained 110'F within 4 minutes and 30 seconds'. Sometimes it did and sometimes it didn't. The next time I had my tires swapped over, winter to summer set, he changed the thermostat and it never came back. I have similar with an o2 sensor and with a P4020 Catalytic converter code.
You can get a very basic scan tool for $35, you can also get Dongles that plug into the OBD port and transmit information to your smartphone. I have this one

If you have an Autozone shop near you, they will read the code for free and tell you what it is. Write it down and come back. My Catalytic converter issue was fix by using Cat cleaner in the fuel.
Garages will also read and clear the code for free in the hope of getting the work. If they say they charge a diagnostic fee, got somewhere else. It literally takes 2 minutes.
Incidentally a pro grade scan tool will cost you $3.5k to $5k! Quality wins, but they take a lot of learning.
after checking fluid level,as per the book,the only reason to be jerky is a harsh driving style(small engine/big car).try stopping,then without using the gas let the car accelerate to top gear,then try 1/2 throttle,again from stop,to see the difference between gear changes......you will see what i mean ..
If you need to use starter fluid you need to get the engine checked by a good mechanic. When was it last given a full service?
You'll need to remove the air filter and spray it directly into the air intake. Starter fluid is nasty stuff! If you get it on the air filter and you get a flame blowback from the air intake it'll burst into flames like a flare!
Starter fluid is only meant to be used once or twice like in an emergency or starting a petrol engine after a very long time in storage.
hello
u'd need a proper manual for this in my opinion
like there are plenty of dealers and online shops that deal in those..
you can get some free at reliable-store and it;s actually really illustrative
for heavy machinery cars etc. luckily there are many websites
that can help you repair
for eg site like reliable-sto re is very active in this.. instant help, emails and all that's fantastic
Operation of the theft deterrent system is discussed in the 1999 Toyota Camry Owner's Manual beginningh on page 21. Unlocking the door with the key should disarm the alarm system. If it does not disarm when using the key, there are only two possibilities: > You have an aftermarket alarm system installed in addition to the system tht was provided by the manufacturer and they are interfering with each other.> OR> Your vehicle needs service to correct the malfunction.You might try unlocking the car from the passenger side or use the key to open the trunk first to see if this works. If it does, the switch inside the driver door is probably malfunctioning.
I would guess the switch on the steering column
is worn out,thus no high beam feature
That switch & that part of the lighting system has to be tested
Best if you have wiring diagrams & electrical skills
As with almost all folks that come to any web site, I assume
everyone ends up at a repair shop,because no one says otherwise
You will get your solution and all info on service info, repair info, parts info, wiring/electrical/fuse diagrams,
error/fault codes, torque specs, PCV,
owner's/service/repair/parts/maintenance manuals etc everything
this website www.reliable-store.com
it's a very good website for vehicle problems even as old as 1991 ford..
Hmm, sounds like it may have burned the belt up check and see that your serpentine belt is still present if it was smoking on the passenger side that is where the belt is located by the wheel well! If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/james_8f14c50d9c6cdea8
Hello, the oil pump can be removed by removing all the 10mm size bolts on the pump housing, it is not necessary to remove the oil pan or anything else. The oil pump pulley can be removed by taking off the 12mm nut then pull the pulley off and the seal can be replaced.
