Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got a 99 4 cylinder camry which got the CheckEngine light along with a trio of code: P0171, p1130 and p1135. It also gave strong smell of gasoline and got miserable MPG (around 12 MPG suburban).
After a careful study of online materials, I decided that it is a problem of the O2 sensor. It is confirmed by my mechanic, he insisted that I should get the part from dealer, costing $265 plus tax.
I refused and purchased from Amazon, saving more that 60% on parts. I brought it the a local mechanic. He changed it for me for half a hour of labor. But really it took him literally five minutes to remove the old one and had this one installed. He didn't even need to raise the car above the ground, just used a long handled tool to do the work above.
All the problems mentioned are gone for now, hopefully they should not be back for a while.
A piece of advice: the problems should be handled asap, before the converter is poisoned/damaged by the incompletely burned fuel. That is going to cost thousands to fix.
Update: I just found out that this sensor is for California emission. Lucky for me, my car happens to be California emission car (which I did not know until now).
