2007 Camry 3.5 high LTFT

Topic starter

2007 Camry 3.5 with about 300,000 mi. The car usually runs great, (It still does even now), and I decided to do some things to ensure that it stays running well. I changed the valve cover gaskets (they were leaking), and the rear plugs and coils (Denso). I'd already changed the front ones. I also changed the engine mounts, the belt tensioner, the valve cover hoses, the injector o-rings (cleaned and tested after replacing the screens), the upper and lower intake gaskets, both sensor 1 oxy. sensors (Denso) (I had never had to change those, but 300,000 mi. I thought it was a good idea.) , the pcv valve, the broken air filter box, inlet snorkel, the power brake booster hose, the purge hoses, and broken connectors (one wire at a time). After I started to drive it again, I got a circuit A code for the MAF, so I carefully cleaned it. No help. I replaced it with a Toyota part. The code doesn't come up anymore, but I still have very high LTFTs at about 35% both banks! The problem seems to lessen when I accelerate the engine, so I suspected a vacuum leak (although the engine idles at 21in.). I smoke tested (many times), carb clean sprayed, and soapy water sprayed to no avail (including the power brake booster). I also tested the fuel pressure. It's about 49 psi, and stays there at any rpm (I changed the fuel pump not too long ago.) The last thing I did was jump the fuel pump, and I got exactly a quart in 15 secs., which seems good to me. I also timed the fuel pressure reading after the engine is shut off- starts at 50, then 40 after 28 secs., 30 at 2:50, 25 at 5:00 (seems good to me), 20 at 8:15, and 15 at 13:34. I also put a vacuum on the exhaust (after plugging the other pipe) and sprayed the bank 2 (the only one I can get to easily) manifold with soapy water to see if it's leaking. It doesn't seem to be. I really like your videos, by the way, and I hate crooks!

You never mentioned anything about a new air filter and spark plugs.  I would just get new injectors too.  You may think they're clean.

You vehicle is on the lean condition. Scan the vehicle for codes. You might want to check the O2 sensor as well.


Duh!
