1996 Camry Fixed (i Think)

[HelenM72]

I know several of you have had issues with the check engine light being on and giving the code of the oxygen sensors being bad, and still continuring to have problems after the sensors being replaced, so I thought I'd pass along what happened with my Camry. My check engine light had been off and on for a few months, and it gave the code for the Bank 1 oxygen sensor, however after talking with several mechanics, they all pretty much agreed that the liklihood of the O2 sensors being bad was fairly low given the fact that I was getting good gas mileage, approx 350 miles on a tank. The car finally gave out and was dying everytime I started the car, or if it didn't die then, it died when I put it in gear or hit the accelerator. The problem turned out to be the vaccuum line. I was charged $45 labor and problem fixed. Just thought I'd share, in case some of you are still having problems and hadn't checked that. Best of luck to you all.
