1992 Toyota Camry XLE continues to excell and Run after 507,000+ Miles!
Hello good people.
A few weeks ago I posted about my 92 Camry reaching a Half Million plus miles at: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...0-000-Miles%21 Well, today has been doing more maintenance in keeping it running even better as the original Vacuum Control Valve (VCV) finally degraded to the point that the plastic nipple broke off and I was forced to replace. Additionally, I found a super neat YouTube Video showing how to Clean the Idle Air Control Valve which is an Electromagnetic controlled valve and with time and mileage it gets really gunk up to the point that at times my car starts but, immediately dies and Idle speed doesn't hold when the Camry is cold. The throttle response also suffers. Tonight I spent a total of 2 hours performing these two items and did so, with very fast results as a result of good planning and having everything I needed to do these two jobs. I am posting a few pictures showing you all the details of keeping any car on the road with great success and determination and saving a ton of $$$ while keeping your car and saving that $$$ you would spend on a new or newer car that will ultimately depreciate with time and mileage. This is how I can sustain my RC Hobby, by keeping my old wheels and I am not in the least feel bad about it! EDIT: The Video results after all this work!
Here's the VIDEO that I used for my Cleaning the IAC without disassembling it!
