Toyota Echo

Myths

No, you can't (unless it is empty)

Echo has 1.5 lt engine.

Engine horsepower 108-hp @ 6,000 rpm Engine torque 105 lbs.-ft. @ 4,000 rpm

take a hair dryer to it for 30 sec to 1 mintute then flip a can of air duster upside down spray generously an wait the dent will come out and there is no damage to the paint

If you still have the owner's manual for the 2004 echo there should be a specifications section that will tell you the oil capacity (drain and refill) with a filter change and without a filter change. For instance, I have a 2002 Toyota echo. On page 217 of my owner's manual it shows that the capacity with a filter change is 3.7 liters, 3.9 quarts or 3.3 imperial quarts. I would imagine that the oil capcity of your 2004 echo is similar. After you change the oil and filter add the 3.9 quarts and check the oil level on the dip stick. Also note, my owner manual states that the amount of oil to fill between the low level and the full level on the dipstick is 1.5 liters, 1.6 quarts and 1.3 imperial quarts. Hope this answers the question.

It can be many things: dirty air filter, dirty throttle body, bad spark plugs, injectors, fuel pump, old fuel filter, o2 sensor, mass air flow sensor. The load from your air conditioner can also cause sluggishness.

Most of the items mentioned above can be replaced yourself for little cost. Search eBay for lowest prices. My 2000 echo was experiencing sluggishness, I tried almost everything before fixing the problem, which was the fuel filter and pump. I don't know which was the problem, because I replaced them at the same time. Both can be had for around 30 dollars, and they are both part of the same unit, which is inside the fuel tank, and is accessed somewhat easily by pulling up the rear seat cushion (see service manual for details).

A dirty throttle body or worn out mass air flow sensor is really the most likely problem, both are common issues for an echo with more than 100,000 miles. The throttle body can be easily cleaned yourself, mass airflow sensor is also easily replaced.

http://www.autorized.com/auto-maintenance/what-does-the-pcv-valve-do.shtml In a nutshell, the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve is part of a simple emissions loop that takes crankcase gasses back over to the engine to be burned instead of vented into the atmosphere. This actually has other benefits besides emissions control - it keeps the engine cleaner and makes it more efficient. The actual valve itself is very important because it controls HOW MUCH gas/air flows though at any given time. Too much is bad, too little is bad. The valve is matched to your car's engine.

Look for the rectangular box with 3 lines connected to it, just in front of the fuel tank. If you follow the fuel lines they will lead you to it.

It is the ACC Fuse in your fuse box. It also runs the radio and digital clock. If both of those work, and just not the lighter, then you need to replace the lighter assembly. I got mine at Toyota dealer parts department for $45.98, part number 85500-28050.

Toyota makes them in factories.

Rainforests have numerous separate ecosystems due to their complex vertical structure, which includes layers such as the forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent layer. Each layer provides distinct habitats with varying light, moisture, and temperature conditions, supporting diverse plant and animal species adapted to those specific environments. Additionally, factors like microclimates, soil types, and water availability contribute to the ecological diversity, allowing for a rich tapestry of life that thrives in specialization within these separate ecosystems.

You really need to take it to the dealer to be properly diagnosed - they might be able to fix this for free, as there is a technical service bulletin related to this error code:

Engine - MIL ON/DTC 1349 Set

ENGINE

EG009-03

May 19, 2003

M.I.L. "ON" DTC P1349 - VVTi ACTUATOR

Models:

'00 - '02 Corolla, Celica, MR2 Spyder, and ECHO

Under certain conditions customers may experience a MIL "ON" condition with DTC P1349 indicating a variable valve timing (VVTi) malfunction. In some cases, the cause of this DTC may be the VVTi actuator.

If your VIN is before JTDDY3#T20056831

It looks like they replaced the camshaft/camshaft timing sprocket.

If that isn't it, then in general P1349 is a misfire or ignition issue under most general OBD-II - but Toyota spec'd OBD-II has it as a VVT malfunction. Unfortunantly - hard to tell which it is. Might be the ignition timing set too advanced (VVT-i issue) or low fuel pressure (bad or clogged injector, bad or low flowing fuel pump/regulator). An emissions test could tell you which one it is. If you want to try a quick fix on your own, I'd start with the basics, change the spark plugs, air filter, and maybe the pcv valve, all these are cheap and easy. Other things could cause the problem though, so if the quick fixes don't work, I'd lean toward the injectors.

Seafoam and other additives are very good solvents that can help clean the injectors - but may not be strong enough to clean off these injectors. Injector cleaning services generally don't work that well - best way is to have these cleaned ultrasonically or replaced (very costly).

Turn on ac and watch clutch on front of ac compressor. If clutch doesn't engage then AC relay is bad. Or you can follow the schematic on the side of the relay and use a volt meter to test it.

The Tallaght Echo was created in 1980.

Commuting is the preferred use.

Doubt it is different from the older model years, a diagram was posted on this website for an older model echo.

See related link. It could be any number of things, you need to run some tests. Could be as simple as a blown fuse. Low pressure is probably most common. You may or may not have a leak that needs fixed (could be caused by a worn o-ring / gasket). Worst case you need a new compressor. You can buy a cheap gauge from harbor freight or take it to a professional.

The lighter fuse of a Toyota Matrix is located under the driver side dash of the vehicle. It is the 15 amp fuse in slot 1.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broken, it depends on that you mean by "serviced". A replacement could be several hundred dollars, your best bet might be to find a good mechanic and call around, they should be able to give you an estimate. Find a mechanic here:

(Mechanic's Files - enter your zip code and read the reviews!) Additional: if you pay for a fuel injection cleaning you are getting ripped off. try a bottle of stp fuel injection cleaner and do it yourself. you'll save a lot of money and be doing exactly what the mechanic will do. if they are actually going to clean your fuel injectors it might be a different story, but be skeptical of "fuel injection services"

p0420 is the only common fault I know of for the Echo. The software is too sensitive, this could possibly be fixed with a firmware upgrade which is exactly what Toyota did for the Rav4 which had the same problem, but in the case of the Rav4 they issued a recall. The Echo has NOT had a recall for this issue. The car will often run fine, pass emissions tests, and get normal fuel economy even after the p0420 code comes up. The dealer will charge $1400 to put in a new catalytic converter (they replace the full assembly from engine to tailpipe). If you decide to save by using an aftermarket cat the p0420 code will in many cases will come right back. Of course the code can be caused by other things too like O2 sensors or MAF, but often replacing these will not be enough to keep this code from coming back.
