1997 Camry speedometer stopped working
Asked by Yvette Oct 31, 2017 at 06:07 PM about the 1997 Toyota Camry LE
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My speedometer goes out and my shifting
goes out of wack when I'm driving. It
happens every couple weeks.
I'm ignorant to what is happening and I truly
would appreciate it if someone could
explain it and what steps needed to fix it.
I'm trying to learn so I don't feel so helpless.

Vehicle Speed Sensor ? (vss) if your car has one , scan for codes
I had it scanned and it said the egr valve is clogged. And thank you for your help. I truly appreciate it.

clean the EGR port , clear the code and see what happens , it's not rocket science but they like to charge you for it , good luck
I cleaned it out and reset it. That seemed to do the trick

I can replace the speedometer cluster but I am afraid of the mileage that will be listed on the other one I get and not matching what I have on my car isn’t that illegal I’m so confused and don’t have a lot of money to run a bunch of tests and replace a bunch of unnecessary parts any help is appreciated
