Toyota Camry 2002 Problems

TOYOTA, like all carmakers, won't recommend modifying their cars in any way and that includes converting them to LPG. They spent millions of dollars developing cars to set specifications and know nothing of the consequences of modifying them. So they always say not to modify. Probably the only problem you will face is the valve recession you mention. Talk to a respected specialist and ask their advice. The difficulty with cars like the Camry is the LPG conversion industry has little experience with them.

WHEN you start your engine, the transmission is in the overdrive mode -- it will shift through all gears, including the overdrive fifth gear. If you press the overdrive button, you will notice the warning light on the dash is illuminated telling you that the overdrive is off. In this case the transmission will not engage fifth gear. If you press the button above 80km/h the transmission will shift down to fourth. The overdrive should be engaged for normal driving to get better fuel consumption, but you can disengage it when you want more passing performance, or to slow the car when you are approaching a town.

TOYOTA dropped the Camry wagon from its line-up because its sales figures were falling and demand for Toyota's extensive range of four-wheel-drives was growing. The decision freed space at Toyota Australia's factory at Altona for the building of the Aurion, and made it easier to build export sales for the Camry and Aurion sedans. The real replacement for the Camry wagon is the Toyota Kluger, which is now available also as a front-wheel-drive car. You should consider it.
