I read on this newsgroup a few days ago about a fellow Camry owner with the sticky gas pedal problem and the kind response to his/her inquiry. I have the same problem and went back to search the archives and came up with lots of good advices. However being so mechanically challenged, I don't know how to remove the air intake to get to and clean the throttle :(
I called a local dealer in San Diego with a supposedly reliable and honest service dept and the advisor insisted that I have my fuel injection system cleaned in order to clear the sticky throttle problem. The price: $145 as the "cleaning chemical" itself costs them $40.
Having just been laid off from work two weeks ago, I don't have lots of discretionary cash laying around to spare. Could somebody tell me if I am about to be taken for a ride by my dealer? And if you could provide a more detailed step by step guide or an alternative method so I can clean and fix the problem myself, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please remove the "NOSPAM" letter from my e-mail address if you wish to respond to me via private e-mail.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.
