Some Toyota’s (Corolla / matrix’s ect ) or Pontiac Vibes get a PO171 error code. This is the manifold gasket and a design flaw. The newer gaskets like fel-pro or Toyota’s orange ones are better deigned and will fix the air coming in or creating a “lean” condition.

I had a code on my 2008 Corolla that pointed to a leaking intake manifold gasket. Dealer replaced the gasket with an updated one. I use an iPad app and a WIFI OBD 2 reader. The app gives codes and can erase them as well. Very handy at times.

Could my chech engine light been triggered recently because I missed 1 of my oil changes servicing appointments and put 15000 miles on my car since last oil change and my engine filter was very dirty? Assuming this is the case and I got this service done plus an engine flush is there a way to clear this warning such as disconnecting the battery to reset car computer?

Hi Todd, do you know if this particular scanner is compatible with the Corolla Altis 2007? I connected a cheap Bluetooth scanner to my car and it would not connect to ECM. After researching, I heard that the Altis is JDM engine and needs a JOBD scanner, but I really don't know.

I have a 2004 toyota corolla and it has a check engine light on and it needed a smog, I took it to a garage and they said the Cat. wasn't ready so I needed to drive the car so I drove the car on the freeway 100 mile and brought it back and the guy said the Cat. has to be replaced but I bought the car for 3000 and don't drive it much since I retired and covid, he wants a 2000 to fix and smog what do you think

Hello! ☝️ A technical question. I have a Corolla year 2001 in Venezuela 🇻🇪 type 1.6; that is, 4AFE and neither current nor signal is reaching the oxygen sensor. This is causing the engine to consume a lot of fuel ⛽️ and also has a smell of candy with white 💨 and black smoke from the exhaust system. It uses a 12 volt wire + signal + (02) wires for a heater or coil but none have voltage from the ECU output. The 💡 ⚠️ CHECK-ENGINE light is on all the time. WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION? I await your comments. Thank you KENNY RENDILES

May I add that if your cats are bad it also means that oil changes were not done on time creating sludge that is notorious for wearing down piston rings, allowing oil consumption which messes up the cats.

On my 2007 Toyota Corolla, the dealer is telling me based on the codes, the Vacuum switching valve is having a problem and it needs to be replaced. It will cost about 400 dollars.

Did you look up the work required to fix this? I encourage more people to work on their cars as much as they feel comfortable. It will help you in a pinch as well. Anyone willing to do work on their own vehicle should own a scan tool these days. Keep it in your glove compartment or trunk. Even if you don't need it. You can have it if someone else does. For instance, I was able to diagnose and fix a problem that had me on the side of the highway. The scan tool told me there was a misfire on cylinder 3. First thing that came to mind was ignition coil. Super easy to replace. I bought crappy coils and one failed. Luckily I held on to an original one as a backup. As, buying cheap coils on EBay is a horrible idea. I swapped the coils around at first to see if it gave a different code (eg. Misfire on cylinder 2). But it never gave a new code but still ran like crap. Lost track where I swapped the first two so I swapped each one out with the spare until it didnt run like crap. It could have been fouled spark plugs as well. Which could be from a number of things, including a leaking valve cover gasket or specifically spark plug tube seals. It basically made it easy and I was driving again. It made me realize how useful having a scan tool was. Ultimately I ended up changing all the coils until the ebay ones were in the garbage. Either way, when a dealership tries to slap someone's head, if you can listen closely and look into the problem yourself, many people would be suprised how much money the dealership charges when you see how simple some jobs are.
