Are there cars that come stock with dashcam?
@@rashawnthegamingmaster8620 Yes and no, 360 degree cameras installed but not dash cams. Naturally, they are Toyota models
What parts should I stock up on so my 2012 Camry can be fixed in 2035 - 2045 when it may start having problems. I know with a Corolla you will need door handles (or driver's seatbelt) but what about a Camry.
Hi uncle scotty I've got a 2007 Hyundai tucson 2liter petrol engine is in good condition and serviced i only do short distance driving everyday and im getting 20L/100km any idea what could be wrong? I can't imagin short driving makes it so heavy on fuel?
@scotty Kilmer We have always had Hondas and Toyotas, slap a new engine @ 300k+ and keep going. I just found your channel and can't stop watching your videos!! It says you have over 4k posted. Wow!!! 😎How long does it take you to do yhe videos and edit it each day? You need to do a behind the scenes video. Haha. Do you do one take and just cut out the small pauses etc to speed it up? How do you come up with so many different topics to discuss each day?
363k on my ‘99 Avalon. Still runs like a champ. Original engine, trans, AC, every power switch & motor still works. One of the best cars ever made.
Your not allowed to retire Scotty you are our top man 👨
Scotty is the Lead Tech at everyone’s garage
People who don't listen to Scotty first are idiots
we shall save Scotty's brain to hook up for infinite life support! Its Alive!
Well he already died so he's kind of been forcefully retired whether we like it or not 😕
I think Scotty deserves a long vacation with his lovely wife😊 (but I would miss him though)
My favourite videos are Scotty doing a diagnosis on a car and telling us what real time diagnostic readings actually say about a vehicles system(s) condition ... 👍
That happened to me with my Mazda 3 2008. $2500 later I replaced the China sensor the mechanic put in it with an oem one and error cleared. Learned that the hard way!
I had a 1999 Toyota Avalon Platinum Edition that my mom bought new. It had almost 300,000 miles on it when it quit. It had a burned intake valve, so it was no longer a safe vehicle to drive. Great cars if you do the maintenance on them. I used to work at the Toyota plant in Georgetown, Kentucky where the Camry's and Avalons are built.
wow..almost 480,000km!
Our 2004 Camry LE was built in Kentucky. It's at 360,000 km, 224,000 miles. Routine maintenance, just a couple of small rust spots on the rear door windows frames (symmetrical on both doors, same spot) after 18 years. Pretty good for driving 18 winters in salty Toronto winter roads. You folks did good work!
Huh. You must have assembled my Camry then! 2004 XLE with 120,000 on the clock
Any advice for someone who wants to work at a Toyota manufacturing plant?
@@Narutophin May God make it easy for you, good luck best wishes🐱👍🏿
Always watching 👀 here in Ireland 🇮🇪. Still driving my 22 year old Toyota picnic. 300,000 miles and still going.
We don't have the Picnic here in the USA! You can think of it as a bonus Toyota for you and your nation that the yankees don't get
Don’t suppose you live in Dublin 6 ?
@@EpicB787Animations Here in The Netherlands the Picnic is also a known vehicle from Toyota. Back in the day's i've known somebody of our old church that drove one of those cars and take us with it to a summer camp. Lot's of space in the car and a nice design also i think.
Found an OEM denso mass airflow sensor on ebay for $27.
yeah too much counterfeit on ebay now. i
All those shops before didn't look at the MAF Sensor? That's surprising
Avalon's are very well built, but I would go for an ES300, because the used one is about the same price, and still very reliable
My company has 10 Avalons in it's fleet all with at least 200k, 1 is up to 450k
Fantastically operating machines
Infinity, yeah, all the Asian engineers bought ES300's. nice buggy.
@@falconphilips2420 what were the model years of those 10 Avalons ? What model years get the most milages of those 10 ?
The only issue with it, is that the ES is a luxury car, so some parts may be more expensive to repair and replace, than the Avalon.
Yeah, but I would choose cloth interior over leather every day. So the Camry with a 1MZ is my daily, currently. With the same code that this Avalon has😂😂🤷🏽♂️
Hi Scotty. Given that OEM parts have limited production timeline , which OEM parts would you recommend that we stockpile? Maybe thermostat, oxygen sensor, Mass Airflow Sensor... Anything else? I have an 05 Camry and want to keep it running.... Thank you for your channel.
I had that same problem on my 07 Colorado. Turns out it was my upstream O2 sensor. Those two sensors give information to each other.
ive got a 76 corolla coupe would be an 'SR5' in the the states pushrod engine reliable as hell the big problem is keeping the rust at bay
You obviously don’t live or drive where they salt roads or there wood be nothing left
Cheers
I would think that the Mass Sensor can't be only for that car. I remember getting some front brake rotors for my 86 Olds Toronado. The wrecking yard said we don't have anything like that. When I asked them if another car had the same rotors. They looked it up and discovered several cars they had used the same rotors. Just wondering if this would be the same thing.
Probably a Toyota model that had the right part
With replacement parts if it's brand new it doesn't mean it's a good part at times. A lot of replacement parts are not made to last very long as well.
I must have missed the process part where you eliminated the IAC. I have seen those cause some darn strange MAF activity.
I can buy a Mass Air Flow Sensor at my Toyota dealer for my 2000 Avalon is this not an OE part?
HEY SCOTTY, how about going for broke and diagnose something with an OBD1 interface, pre 1996. Anyone can do a fancy scan tool wizardry, do something old school for a change. I got a 1991 Toyota Camry, got to watch them blinking lights on a dash to pull a code, or jump some wires.
Yes. Agreed. I want to know too.
Scotty … you can find them no problem. I just went to the online parts department for Toyota. 269$ list price. Once I selected a dealer to shop from as it suggests you do, it gave me an additional 60$ discount at Toyota of Greenville, SC. It’s in stock right now.
My Toyota is from 1999. I know the day will come when I need a part replaced but they stoped making parts for it. Trying to replace a broken side-view mirror right now lol.
99 Tercel owner here. I never want to rid myself of it.
I had a bad sensor on a sienna limited and the dealer replacement kept throwing codes. So when I replaced it with a Chinese sensor and it worked perfectly, no 9ne was more shocked then I was.
Too much drama here. A quick search revealed, the same MAF sensor was used in numerous Toyota vehicles, one type in Avalon 1995-96 and Camry through 1998. Another type was used through 2002 in Avalon and other Toyota models. If it was me, I would look for one with an aftermarket Toyota or Denso label on it at the self-service wrecking yard. I found new OEM and Denso MAF sensors on the internet in minutes. I practice what I preach too. Got a Denso purge valve solenoid for my Toyota for about five bucks and it passed the shop diagnostic for smog repairs. Be self-reliant. The state paid for my repairs, of course.
Scotty makes videos for the uneducated. First thing anyone with a brain would look at is the maf sensor...
Pull a part type salvage yards are a gold mine for these types of parts. Problem is at least around here, there's guys who spend all day there pulling parts and reselling them on ebay so a part you need may or may not be there and if it's a mechanical part, may be tough to source. OTOH, these MAFs were used in several different Toyotas so it's probably doable.
@@Mortonbmx Scotty is an entertainer and media personality. He had a network show at one time.
do what now? how d the state pay?
@@therivergod849 California has a program available in certain counties which pays for the emissions test and puts up a certain amount of money toward repair. They always write it up so you have to pay something above what the state pays but you can negotiate with the shop.
When they realized I could do the work myself if need be, they went down from $750 to $250 out of pocket. Their out was, I was going get the intake resonator myself and install it. The intake resonator is a plastic part that connects to the hose between the air box and the engine air intake. It serves no actual function but is supposed to reduce noise.
What they did change was the overfill valve, and the evaporative cannister. These are somewhat difficult jobs. I was glad to have someone else to do it for me. Vehicle is a 2001 Toyota Camry LE 4cyl. Runs nice. The original owner always changed the oil on schedule but neglected a lot of other things. I've had to do some work. Air hoses. Four struts. Water pump. Brakes. And new tires of course. When I buy a used car, I want to get my own tires. Just give me money off.
The secret to Scottys energy seems to be sitting on top of the car.
Haven’t seen many Avalons with headers.
His energy comes from being locked in the trunk and when his wife lets him out he is super happy! LOL🤣
Toyota: oh darn it's hard to find parts after 23 years. The car is running a little lean.
BMW, Fiat, Chryslers, Audi, etc: after 23 years the engine is broken. The radiator, transmission, door handle, wheel bearing, AC, everything is broken except the parking brake.
You forget the F'g catalytic converters, they should be illegal !!!
For most of the cars you listed yeah. But I've encountered plenty of really old Chryslers. Of course, most of those were made before the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Sometimes these vehicles have a really good "default" setting--- and if you just unplug the MAF, all the sudden your car runs great again... Maybe it won't do as well in extreme cold or extreme altitude.. but for a general default preset parameter, it could run well most of the time, if you just unplug it. (Now some brands are the opposite though -- and if you unplug it, it may not run well at all-- it just depends on the manufacturer and how they designed it that year; Some will want the default to be more reliable, while others will do whatever pollutes the least, even if that means that it's going to leave you stranded on the side of the road.)
Shout out! Scotty! I love my Toyota Tundra crewmax limited with an V8 engine! I am on my way to the million mile Tundra club!
Scott,
Thank you for showing that mechanics should improve their diagnostic skills (common sense) to find the issue instead of always going back to the error codes. Much respect to you sir.
Is it even a problem if its been driven 100k miles with this problem? Obviously not.
Hahaha I was right when I first watch the video figured out way before it's the mass air flow sensor eBay has oem mass air flow sensor for 32 bucks fits Lexus gs300
As a 99 corolla original owner with 104,000 low miles that has been very well maintained...What am I looking at for problems considering its age?
Here in Saudi there's a mountain road that is so challenging it was featured in many car shows, Al Hada road. I am surprised at the number of new Toyotas with open hoods on the side of this road. May be overheating issues but still strange only Toyotas
In Phoenix AZ, our temperatures reach 50 C in the summer. No noticeable amount of overheated Toyotas here. We are surrounded by mountains. I’ve had several myself, and have never suffered overheating.
@@wjanis1 heat has nothing to do with it, try taking your toyota into steep inclines or canyons for hours at a time and it's engine wont be able to handle it.
I regularly drive from elevation 1100 to 6000 feet elevation and the incline goes up and down. Another frequent interstate highway trip many people take is to Flagstaff, 7000 feet elevation.
@@PhaeronServinus thank you.
Oh yea we don't have steep challenging roads anywhere else in the world bruh.
The answer SHOULD be to upgrade it to a newer Toyota part that's available and reverse compatible BUT, I already know it ain't gonna happen...
I have the same problem for 6 years. It is not the maf. Scotty should show the fuel trim. I solved it myself. No more P0171 error code
Literally googled it and found one. It’s pricy, but it’s OEM.
I find it hard to believe you can’t find an OEM MAF sensor. You should cross reference it with other cars with the same engine.
Yep, most Lexus cars have a Toyota that uses the same internal part but sells a dozen times as much.
I just went to the online parts department for Toyota. 269$ list price. Once I selected a dealer to shop from as it suggests you do, it gave me an additional 60$ discount at Toyota of Greenville, SC. Sometimes I worry about Scotty because this took me less than a minute!
Did you literally do that? You sure you didn’t figuratively do it…….
What can happen is you get a leaky injector, which will trigger the 02 sensors into thinking it's too rich-- so then it will dial back the fuel on that bank, which causes everything to run lean. So all you have to do is check your fuel trims, and see if the computer is adding fuel or taking it away. But you can't trust the "lean" designation" -- because it could be the computer making it lean, from the fact that it's actually slightly rich--- just not rich enough to trip the code.......... see, being rich on one cylinder may not trip the code, but it does trigger the computer to make a fuel trim adjustment, which then causes it to now be too LEAN on the whole bank, which will then push it out of spec far enough to now trip a code for what the COMPTUER reaction is causing, when actually the problem is the opposite.
@@calholli but a leaky injector will not cause the MAF sensor to vary its reading.....
Man I have a 98' avalon xls, it's my first car I still own it but i got into a little fender bender, so just saving up and waiting to fix it up and make her brand new(ish) again
My hyundai was 15 years old and never had sensor problems except an O2 sensor which wasn't that bad after I changed my catalytic converter
And never has a problem doing my timing belts unlike that toyota
His lexus es300 the 2002 to 2006 use the same part as does the sienna and solara 1999 to 2002 lol... as long as the connectors match it is likely to work lol...
I had to change the fuel pump on my 2009 Ranger 4 litre. I got a Delphi unit and put it in. The pump worked fine but the gas gauge read backwards. Junk just as all GM products are.
So many sad days for Toyota , GM , Ford , Honda n every car owner.... Roughly 1200 days out of 365 days are sad....US car owners must be deeply depressed since they're handling the sadness of three days , every day...
Napa Auto Parts has OEM Denso Mass Air Flow Sensors
So, did you fix the issue?
Word of the day “equilibrate” - I thought it was a scottyism, but of course you were right, as always 😂
Seems you can still get the OEM MAF for about $268. At least that's what I found.
What year is the Avalon?
i recommend always oem parts !
Scotty’s arms walk miles in a day 😂😂
At 7:30, that walker is saying to themselves, "there's that weird guy that's always talking to a camera and flails his arms around in his driveway, he should take that inside.😲😲😲
Running to lean can also hurt the pistons because the gasoline cools the pistons if you’re not getting enough gas on your pistons they can actually melt due to running to lean
You are a fantastic man with so much knowledge and we learn something new every time and we are really grateful for your input 🙏😊👍keep up the good work Mr Scotty Car professor ✌️
Just bought a 1998 Toyota Avalon with 130k miles for 3000. Great shape too.
I currently drive a 98 Avalon with 260k miles on it
@@johnbenjamin98 hope mine lasts as long. Don’t plan on selling it.
Bought a 1998 Toyota Camry with 121 thousand miles, now it has 143 thousand had the car alittle over 2 years great car
What a nightmare. I have a 2001 Tacoma Pre-Runner with only 160k miles, no problems with it but I guess I better start looking at parts availability. Talk about "planned obsolescence", the thing is barely broken in. Just wow, I mean *G.D.*
there’s a place in Japan you can get old toyota parts from, forget the name sRE, they can get out of production parts for waaaay back, well before 99👋 btw wat makes you think this is the maf sensor & not computer or connections to the map or o2 sensors or watever? in short - wat max U think it the maf & not some changy signal going to it??🤔..
Have the same code and idling bad in my 99 ES300 with 250,000 miles. I’m convinced i have a vacuum leak
Doesn't Denso sell a MAF sensor to fit this car?
Toyota parts department is selling

lots of miles, had a company car on LPG when doing deliveries that had over 1,000,000km never guess the make and model.
Buses I drive also clock over their odometers. But thats heavy diesel for ya.
1999 isn't that old surely a junkyard has this part somewhere in USA. Also Scotty, why didn't you try cleaning it?
I got a 2002 Avalon with 150K miles. What maintenance does it need to keep it going?
#1. Keep that oil changed regularly.
Oil,and skinny wife
Timing belt, seals, water pump, rotors & pads new thermostat. Good for another 100,000 miles

@@frednesvet5046
Not yet Fred since previous owner changed but I am sure they will have to be changed down the road. I will probably use KYB quick struts so I can do them.
I'm sure he can get an OEM MAF from a salvage yard or parts puller. Why couldn't he get a MAF from a junkyard from a '99 Camry V6, 1999 Sienna or a ES300 V6?? All have the 1MZ-FE...
Mine has about 600,000 miles on it. It needs some work, but running pretty okay. Most needs some inexpensive work done. 2000 Toyota Avalon.
Damn 600,000 nice ! 🔥🔥🔥
I love your all videos they are all educational
hello and thank you!
@@scottykilmer
Hi! You’re my inspiration and love to hear your voice and learn what you doing with cars
Why headers ?
Would you have the info on actually going into the sensor and calibrating it to the exact Toyota specs for that particular vehicle? Or would another older Toyota map sensor work for that year besides an Avalon? Anyway Scotty I'm glad you do what you do and have answered many of my questions regarding Toyotas. We have three Toyotas and one Lexus. Until the American car companies pull their heads out of their rear-ends and start thinking of the consumer and not "just their bottom line" I'm buying only Japanese!!!
mostly all v6 old toyota engine use air flow meter instead pressure sensor. the sensor shouldnt need any calibration and plug n play.
Toyota is the best ever...I have 13 years with Toyota, corola 2001...rav4 2011...rav4 2021...
If only NASA had a technician like this, then they would have gone to the moon today.
Nobody has been to the Moon!
Subbed the rocket boosters out to Toyota.
The Toyota part is available
Plenty junk parts here in Houston. Come on over
Probably best off hunting ebay for an original part
I put a Delphi fuel pump and a brand new fuel tank in my 1996 F150. The fuel pump quit working in less than 2500 miles. Lifetime warranty, great.... but I had to do all the labor over again.... and install another Delphi? No way.
Issue: 2015 F150 V6 Ecoboost. When I go between 50-56 MPH theres a humming/whinning sound from the rear. If I pull off the gas it stops immediately and starts back up as soon as I hit the gas as long as between 50-56. Fuel pump?
Could be an issue with the rear differential. Try changing the fluid.
@@baselinej I tried that first thing.
Start with the basics: are the tires worn and are they properly inflated? Does the noise stop above 56 MPH? Have you got a scan tool? Maybe you can see what the fuel pump pressure is versus what it's supposed to be. Did anyone check to see if there was damage to the exhaust system or if the catalytic converter has been stolen? If you're not experiencing power loss when you hit the gas then it's probably not the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is weak then it won't be able to keep up with the strain of a quick acceleration. Check those other things first, it could be something simple. Otherwise you'll have to get a good mechanic to scan it and see if she can figure out what's making the noise happen. Just don't go to the dealership. They don't know anything and they'll rip you off.
I love Scotty .he is a dying breed.Very smart and entertaining for sure. Butt I wonder if he could talk if his hands were tied behind his back
I have the same car at 362k miles. Knock on wood, no codes yet.
Interesting post. We have had chronic running lean on both our 2007 and 2008 4-banger Corollas. Code comes back after a long period of time during the winter. I cleaned both MAFs and now our 2008 is working fine. However the code came back on our daughter's 2007. Our mechanic checked for leaks, found none out of desperation changed the MAF. Code still comes back after a few months in cold weather. As an aside both cars have had problems in the cold since new, engine hesitates for a while until it warms up.
Ever checked the thermostat?
@@carlpodrecca5177 Engine temp is normal.
@Tom Schmidt same engine & mechanical parts as my 2006 base Matrix👍. How many miles do both Corollas have?
@@Blakecryderman7244 145,000 on the 2007 and 160,000 on the 2008

Same here.😲😲😲
On other hand, everyday is a sad day for Chrysler owners.
Agree totally. Ex Grand Cherokee owner here.
Scotty, I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla S (manual transmission) with 130K miles. When I drive around and stop, the engine idle drops to 500 rpms and sounds like it’ll stall on me but hasn’t yet. Cleaned MAF sensor, cleaned throttle body, made sure hoses aren’t loose, etc. Seems to be getting more frequent now. What do you think it may be? No engine lights have come on as of yet. 🤞🏻
Codes?
Start with the basics: is your battery or alternator dying? You mentioned hoses but are there any loose belts? Is the oil cap on secure? Are the spark plugs fouled? Have the spark plug wires been frayed or otherwise worn? When's the last time you replaced the fuel filter? I don't mean to suggest you weren't thorough but rather I want to make sure that something didn't slip past you as there are quite a few things that might cause or contribute to the problem.
Idle Air control valve 1000%
You can put money on a Chevy dealership being shown every time Scotty says “junkyard”. 😂
I actually have an extra maf that I pulled from a junk years matrix that works great. It was only $10 so I have an extra if mine ever goes out lol
Scotty, if you or anyone u know can help someone in need of a used Rav4 SUV? Low miles preferred. I had a wreck in April, doing Gig work, so lost pd in full '12 Rav4 and income.

@@mcc7762 and what about safety? which of them raises the chances of surviving a crash?
@@mcc7762 thank you very much!

Hi Scotty I got a lean code on my v6 2001 4Runner I changed the mass sensor the fuel regulator and didn’t solve the problem
It has hard time starting after at least 3cracks
In case he doesn't reply: are there any codes? If not it could be that you've got dirty injectors. Scotty is always recommending the ATS 505 CRF fuel system cleaner. It costs about $30. Try that first and hope it's not a bad injector. He also recommends a tank of Shell V-Power supreme because it's got a nitrogen based detergent additive. You can try those things, they don't cost much, see if it helps. Otherwise you'll have to get a mechanic to scan it and see if she can track down the root cause because it can be a lot of things. Just don't take it to the dealer, they don't know anything and they'll rip you off.
But if it's starting hard then that could be a few things as well, from a bad ignition module to a fuel pump. If you've got a scan tool then see if you can find out what the long term fuel trim is, whether there are any misfires, and what the fuel pressure is. If you don't have a scan tool you'll have to find a good mechanic and see if she can diagnose it. But if you've got a scan tool you might be able to see if there's a misfire in a cylinder. I'm assuming you've checked for broken or loose air hoses already, but if you haven't then take a look, could be something as simple as a worn air hose. Diagnosis is usually the hardest part of any repair, but the answer is there if you know where to look. Also try looking up "fix lean fuel scotty" on TH-cam, see if he has any videos, he's probably done more than a few videos about it.
Bless evening Mr Scotty Kilmer what causes a toyota corolla 1998 model engine light to come on when you accelerate
Hi Scotty! What are your thoughts about the government wanting to have all electric cars by 2035?
Hello Scotty
I have a toyota rav4 2010. When the is driven, a noise can be heard from underneath. The noise is produced when the speed is between 40 miles and 60 miles while the Rev is below 2000. If the Rev is above 2000 while in this speed range, the sound stops or isn't produced in the first place. Is the transmission the issue?
I just finished watching a 2022 Highlander video. I love first generation Avalon these were some great cars they are bulletproof saw a 95 or 96 model not long ago it was beige still looked good. My second grade teacher had a '99 it was a totally nice car also woman like closed relative had one XL model with chrome wheels her brother messed it up did something to the motor.
Thats a real real bad problem.
Hey Scotty, is that a "TECATE BEER" , on top of the Toyota, behind you? > SURE LOOKS LIKE: "Tecate"!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????????????
I have a 2004 Toyota Echo with the 1.5l and I've had a lean code for 10 years as well. 430k on the car. I actually get 4-5 extra MPG with the car running lean and I exclusively drive it on the highway so I only ever idle to warm up in the winter. I also did not replace my power steering belt when it wore out last year and I get an additional 3-4 mpg off of that as well! 19 year old car gets 45+ mpg with 430k on it. All original. Easily saved a few thousand dollars on gas at this point.
@Lanny Navitka dam that’s a cool secret.
That's a lot of miles on an Echo that's crazy
great old car 💪 new car won't last like that
How many times must Toyota owners die Scotty 😂😂😂
So, Because for a fair finally better world it is absolutely not possible, to go that way, to destroy the environment that way, with permanently force people, to get always the newest cars out of the last 5 to 8 years. That's really really horrible and extremely bad for the environment also. Really important scotty, in this case, what you show the people, really important for a better world.
Good afternoon Scotty! How goes it man?
afternoon and good thanks!
Scotty I can find you a used oem mass air flow sensor for this, still a few of these in the junkyards in my town
New ones are available too
He was searching at the wrong place though
I own a 96 Avalon and a 94 Celica. Two of the BEST cars out there period.
The Avalon is over engineered for a 99, the reason he said about 300,000 is because the cluster shorted out and the board is made of plastic
@@shakennotstirred32 heay Josh what board is not made of(not plastic) silicon. Looks like plastic to me too but they are all made like that!
@@carlpodrecca5177 instead of a regular circuit board they use a piece of plastic and the bulbs stick to the plastic film
@@shakennotstirred32 circuit boards made out of plastic here I thought they had to make them like any other board. We must be talking about two different things, like maybe after the circuit board there’s a light bulb panel, cause I’m not sure how you get the electricity to channel the way it’s supposed to using plastic?
I wish Scotty lived in my neighborhood.
If high altitude has thinner air does it cause the engine light to stay on with a lean code on both banks? Or is it from dust on the sensors?
Toyota Avalon best and toughest car ever made.
Ran into the problem quite often with my old 1999 Lincoln Continental. I loved the car, but I’m glad I sold it. It was a great car and comfy as hell, however….when something needed to be fixed I’d often find that parts had become obsolete.
