Camry :: Will Carb Cleaner Cause CEL P0430
Mar 27, 2012
I USED to have an auto 2002 Camry XLE V6 with 151,000 miles. I sold it to my sister in law who needs a car. But the night before I sold it, I had cleaned out the throttle body with carb cleaner. The next day she mentioned that she needed a car and since I have a spare, she want to buy my car. So i sold it to her cheap ($2500)since she is family. A day later while putting 50 miles after the cleaning TB, she reported to me that the CEL is on. So I went and scanned it and got a P0430.
Last year I had replaced all A/F sensor and O2 sensor so I know that it's not the problem. Could it be that the carb cleaner damaged the cat or cause the A/F sensor or O2 sensor to miss read?
I reset the CEL and told her to report back if anything happen. I just feel guilty and ashame after the CEL...The car ran fine for me while owning it for 7 years until I decided to clean out the TB.

My 2009 Camry came down with the p0157 code which I looked up & is oxygen sensor circuit, low voltage bank 2 sensor 2. I'm trying to figure out which side this is(driver or passenger)? Also have a p0430 code-catalyst system efficiency below threshold.

My CEL came on and is throwing code P0430. Is it just an o2 sensor? if so which one primary or secondary?

I have an old Autolite, tag reads- C9AF C C 9E 16. Need to break that down? Just wondering what it came off of.

I have not run my bronco in a while and cranked it up the other night. It took a while to crank and usually cranks right up! When it finally cranked, I could see fire on my carb through my air filter!
What caused that and how do I fix?

So I picked up a 2 barrel carburetor of a 1972 Ford Truck, most likely an F250. Has a tag and everything, this is a Motorcraft 2100-D (D2TF JB). No electric choke or anything like that. So I'm wondering if I can run the carb with choke permanently open? Also is there an electric choke conversion that I can buy, if so where is it? I can't seem to find one. Also what are the adjustments? I seem to have 2 needle valves to adjust and one other.

I picked up a remaned 2100 for my '72 and I found out choke vacuum control on the back of the carb is frozen. I can't find anyone who carries it, let alone knows what it is. Are these parts still produced and if not is there another way to make it work?

Does running a can of top end cleaner through your engine like Seafoam foul your oxygen sensors? should they be removed beforehand?

.About a week ago NC got some really bad rain and in about 5 minutes the roads were under water. I had to end up driving through about a foot of water to get home, then parked the car. On my way home from work the next morning my car barely made it home, would cut out over 2k rpms and die if i didn't push the clutch in.
I sprayed some MAF cleaner on the sensor and tried that, it now will not idle when slowing down and will shut off every-time while rolling. (Also, while it is running it idles HORRIBLY and doesn't seem like it wants to pull boost efficiently)
I unplugged the maf and it does run a little better but when i pull the full 21lbs of boost then let off of the gas it dies.
Also i scanned the CEL and it says something about the MAF, i cleared it but the TC light never went off. and the CEL came back on in minutes.

So I recently found my GTI (10 months, 6000 miles) showing noticeable vibration in idle. Nothing too serious or abnormal. My reasonable guess it was caused by my recent driving pattern.
In the last couple months, I drove 99% local, short trip, low speed, plus stop-n-go traffic. Yes I knew this might be the worst condition for any car, but seriously I was extremely busy these days and didn't get chance to take it to a good run (Italian tune-up?).
So does it mean the rough idle was caused by carbon build-up or dirty fuel system? Should I add some cleaner to a tank of gas? If yes, what product would be a good one?

My wife called me on her way to work this morning and said her car(2.0T auto) was not running right and her engine light was on. We had it towed to the dealer and they said that the air cleaner assembly broke and was creating a false air run. The car has 33k miles and he said it was not covered under warrantee because it looks like somebody broke the part based on it being cracked in several areas. Well I haven't touched it and the last one to even open the hood on the car was them, when they had to replace the valve body 3k miles ago. How would that thing even break unless they did it? It was idling at a light, then started shaking and running poorly. I'm going back in tomorrow morning to talk to them about it, but I'm not sure what to say here...what do you think?

I have a friend who drives a 1987 ranger 2.3 4 cyl and is having problems with oil building up in his air cleaner. I thought maybe it was a bad pcv valve or worn out rings. I looked at it and cannot even find a pcv valve on it. it has one hose that runs from the valve cover to the air clean but there' s no valve in it. are the rings shot or what is causing this to happen?

I have an exhaust leak that has gotten worse and is quite loud now. I have been under the car and a mechanic just checked what he could without a lift and didn't find any leaks. Yesterday, I had it up on ramps and looked under and think the sound is coming from where a heat shield is. When I'm in the car the noise sounds like it's slightly in front of me.

2004 Echo. Looking for measurement for the external diameter of the Air Hose for me?
Tried googling, but didn't find any specs for it. Don't have access to my car at the moment (and for a while actually), but I might need to get a coupler..

I was out driving my brothers Escalade today and notice that it had a lot more power than the last time I'd driven it. When I asked him about it, he said that he poured a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in about 2 weeks ago but hadn't noticed any difference. We thought maybe it was because he drove it all the time. He let his wife drive it and she noticed the difference as well.

I recently started to notice what sounds like a vacuum cleaner coming from the engine at start up, usually in the morning. The sound continues for about a minute or less then goes away. Haven't noticed it after repeated starts during the course of the day. Car runs fine, no CEL's.

Recently my car has been doing some weird things. After driving it for about an hour, I get a sound from the engine compartment that sounds like a vacuum cleaner. It's fairly loud, but it's mostly just noticeable from the outside. The car continues to run, but if I turn it off, it doesn't restart (does not even crank). Last night I was driving at about 55 MPH and all the electronics went off and then came back on. In other words, the radio restarted and all the lights turned off and back on. The headlights turned off, but they did not come back on no matter what.

1997 Chevy 2.2l 4cyl LS model. Changed fuel filter and am trying the fuel pump tomorrow. BUT if this doesn't work? I want to be ready because this is my only vehicle. Has spark, turns over but acts as if not getting gas. (Recently had new clutch installed.)

This is for a 2003 GTI, 89,00 miles. Every time I try to use the windshield cleaner the fuse blows for the windshield wipers. I have tried to put in a 25 amp fuse and it worked for a while but still blew. The windshield wiper motor has been replaced.

My car is running great, no issues. I just changed the ignition coils, i was having a misfire. It was easier since i was changing the back to replace them all. My CEL and VSC went on and it is code P0430 bank 2. Before i spend a ton on a new catalytic converter i would like to change the o2 sensors. Problem is, I am not sure which ones to change or where to start. Is this even something i am able to do?
