| Description of the problem | Charcoal canister vacuum switching valve was gone bad and stuck in position 1. This happened to most of the corolla. I have read on internet about toyota fixing this problem to few of the customers as goodwill. I had to pay around $500 to get it fixed. If this was a known design flaw it has to be fixed by toyota. My car hardly has 58,000 miles on it and i had done every bit of maintenance defined in the corolla manual.*ak |
