1998 Toyota Camry

Question: Ck engine light came on & stayed on, although no other symptoms of car problems.

Question

Visitor, Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 22, 2011, 13:35

Had it put on the diagnostic machine (cost $80n at a Tires Plus shop), they said problem is one of 3 sensors of the EVP vent control system-shop didn't know which one-said to take to dealer to find out. After I left shop, the light didn't come on again-that was yesterday and is still off. A code they have on the paper is PO 446-I've seemed to be burning a lot more gas lately, even though driving less.-any connection?

    If its a used car when you bought it, it may be just letting you know that you need your oil changed. Mine does that about every 3500 miles.

    this is an obd2 trouble code table, it can help you understand the meaning of code.

    for p0446,you can try:
    Replace Vent valve
    Repair open, short, or resistance problem in control circuit
    Repair open, or short, or resistance problem in power circuit
    Replace PCM

    After they put your car on the machine, the light will stay off if it was the oil changing thing but if it isn't it will eventually come back on.
