Evap system codes have been random on the DIC. We replaced the vapor canister and purge valve solenoid a while back at the shop. I replaced the solenoid again the other day, and this time no pellets on the used part. I put th new one in anyways.
I kept getting the Tighten Gas Cap message, so I replaced with an OEM gas cap that now does actually click the last bit when you tighten it. Hopefully that keeps the system happy.
My son's Camry had a full windshield washer fluid reservoir, wipers actuated but no spray to wash the windshield. Grabbed a new washer motor after checking the fuses (all good).
Should have had the young man help me, but he was sleeping, as it was early Sunday morning and he has been studying for final exams.
Pulled the front passenger tire, pulled back the fender liner and there it was, just like YouTube said it was. Pulled the plug, drained the reservoir and noticed a lot of gunk on the filter screen. Maybe that had burnt the motor out so I flushed the reservoir and toothbrushed as much as I could reach.
Swapped out the motor and reassembled. Worked as it should. Reinstalled everything and made the boy happy so he could wash off the dirt and salt from the sea breeze.
Been assembling his travel pack for the road. Have a small toolbox and got him one of those USB combo jumper/tire inflator packs, just in case. He used to be interested in this stuff during the early days of the NBS transformation (he was much younger), but not so much now. And my daughter even less, but she is pretty specific on what she would like to drive. Paint colors, interior, tech, model and what she doesn't like.

Good to get the kid a Camry!! I had a 99 Camry XLE V6/5speed manual as my first car and loved it. So reliable and easy to work on. Hopefully his interest spikes soon and he takes after you in taking pride of ownership in rides!
