Toyota Camry: air flow sensor

If they made a bad diagnosis , stop pay on your ck , or dispute the
bill with your credit card co. Some are ripoffs, some are very fare,
you just learned of one to stay away from

You could have bought the obd2 code reader for a hundred and read it
yourself.
Toyota wants almost 300 bucks for the AF sensor, they have many in
stock, and it's a huge profit source for them.
You can get a Bosch for somewhere between 69 and 129 bucks.
It's that spark plug looking thing stuck in the exhaust manifold,
staring right at you. A 10 minute fix.

That "spark plug looking thing" in the exhaust manifold is the Oxygen
Sensor.
Sounds like his problem was with the mass airflow sensor - a different
part.
If there are any other Toyota dealers nearby, you could check prices
there, too. Sometimes they vary significantly.
IIRC, the labor to change the front struts on my Camry was around $120
less at a dealer in the next city.

Mike: If you (a) read the TITLE of this thread and (b) note that
the poster was told there "dust" on the sensor ... then you would
know the discussion was NOT about the Air Fuel sensor located just
after the catalyst (not be be confused with the O2 sensor located
between the engine and the catalyst). The air mass (or air flow)
sensor is located between the air filter housing and the throttle
body and is VERY sensitive to dust accumulations PARTICULARLY where
the owner has foolishly substituted an oil bath (K/N or UniFilter)
filter element.

That matter has been discussed at length with particular attention
paid to hot wire air mass sensors.

SENATOR ZELL MILLER DEMOCRAT OF GEORGIA, the nation's most prominent
conservative Democrat, said today he will endorse President Bush for
re-election in 2004 and campaign for him if Bush wishes him to. Miller
said Bush is "the right man at the right time" to govern the country.

The next five years "will determine the kind of world my children and
grandchildren will live in," Miller said in an interview. And he
wouldn't "trust" any of the nine Democratic presidential candidates with
governing during "that crucial period," he said. "This Democrat will
vote for President Bush in 2004."
