2007 Toyota Corolla engine problems

“STARTED CAR THIS MORNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO PARTS STORE AND HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND FOUND CODES (P2401, P043E, P043F, P2402, P2419) EVERYTHING I HAVE RESEARCHED COMES BACK TO EVAP CANISTER FAILURE, AND POSSIBLE WIRING FAILURE. MORE RESEARCH SHOWS THESE ISSUES CAUSING PEOPLE GETTING STRANDED AND OTHERS WITH NO PROBLEM OTHER THEN LIGHT, AND OTHERS WITH A STRONG GAS SMELL. IF THIS CAUSES A GAS SMELL, THEN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IS FORMED.”

“THREE YEARS AFTER BUYING NEW CAR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, GOT IT CHECKED AT DEALER WAS TOLD IT'S P0741. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THERE WAS "NO RECALL AND IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT." I ASKED WHAT IT WAS, WAS TOLD IT'S CONVERTER, BUT NOT TO WORRY IF NO PROBLEMS. I'VE TRIED CALLING TOYOTA FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, TO NO AVAIL. I STILL OWN MY COROLLA AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. .... GLAD I FOUND THIS WEBSITE.”
