On my '94 there is a small rubber hose (tube) extending downward from a fitting off the air intake hose near the throttle body, on the firewall side present only on California cars.

Other than the possibly missing sticker on the hood, is there another way to tell if my 97 Camry is a California emissions car ?? Starting to have some really odd troubles with 02 sensors and DTC 1133's being thrown. My mechanic told me to find out for sure if it's a normal or Ca. car as there is some kind of extended warranty on the ECM's in 97-99 California cars...Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks !!!!!!!!!

I have your answer (and its full of good news) in the Toyota group. Yes, you have a Cally car and this deal might be covered.

OK, but do these cars do not wobble during an earthquake?

They have a guvenator on them as well.

Now, they waffle the rest of the year. ;D

ANd right now, they sem to have no direction. Like the steering is all disconnected.
