Hello there, thank you for asking about your 2004 Toyota Camry. Code P0012 relates to the camshaft position sensor which monitors the speed of the camshaft and relays this information to your car's computer, which helps to control ignition timing...
Hi there. I have taught automotive technology and I can tell you that you can work while training in most programs. You will find that body repair and automotive repair are two separate programs. The automotive repair program, for the...
You can tell if your vehicle needs wiper blades by first doing a physical inspection to look for torn or hard rubber on the blade. Then when wiping window if you get excessive noise or not cleaning water from windshield...
Hey there. This can be caused by a number of things such as low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a failing coolant fan switch. As you may know, the coolant fan switch helps to maintain the proper coolant temperature...
It sounds like you have broken a CV joint. The CV joints are a ball and groove joint that make it possible to transmit power to the front wheels even while you steer the wheels. They make a nasty popping...
The ABS wheel sensors are a commonly known part to fail. As you know, these are located at each wheel and help the ABS system detect abnormalities in driving conditions which causes the ABS system to engage. Occasionally, these sensors...
The average lifespan of a battery will depend on your geographic location and the relative weather conditions there. In extreme heat or cold conditions batteries do not last as long due to the harsh temperatures that affect the longevity of...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The testing you have done so far is great. If you know you have fuel pressure and spark then you can turn your attention to other possibilities. These include the air intake sensors like...
A car basically needs 3 things to run. Air, fuel, and spark. If one of those is missing the engine will not work. Since we know you are driving air shouldn't be the problem unless you have something clogging your...
Hi there. Sounds to me that you are experiencing 1 of 2 things. Either you have a faulty ignition cylinder, or your "Park" setting is not fully engaging. I would recommend having a certified mechanic diagnose your key not turning...

You’ve gotten stuck in the ditch on the left side so the odds are that there is a damaged or bent component on that side. If you really hit it hard, a lot of times, you are going to...
Hello, it sounds as if you have a faulty transmission pressure control solenoid or contaminated fluid. Also, the electronic gear shift sensor under your gear shift could be compromised if something has spilled on it. IÂ suggest that you have a...
You probably need a fan belt. Timing belt is inside the timing cover and it has cogs on it and it can't squeal because it's got cogs and it can't slip. If it groans, it means that the timing...
This may be related to a dirty or failing idle air control valve. The idle air control valve monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low speeds and at...
Hi there. If you are blowing fuses it is due to an electrical fault within the ignition system. It is very likely that the ignition relay is damaged or has an exposed wire that is creating a short when you...
Hi. The most common problem is the instrument cluster followed by the vehicle speed sensor on the transmission/transfer case(2wd/4wd). You will have to use a scan tool to determine if the VSS signal is reaching the instrument cluster. If you...
