Hi! First off before you go work on the sensor, I would check the gas cap
You're going to want to make sure that there is a tight seal on the gas cap, and that when you close the gas cap, it clicks or locks (depends on the car.) Best way to clean the gas cap is to spray some WD40 (NOT INTO THE TANK) around the gas cap on the car. Worst case you do this and the error code doesn't go away, I would buy a new gas cap
Now let's say that the gas cap is all good and it didn't solve the issue. Then you need to replace the Fuel pressure Sensor. This video shows you how to
Now I can say that for your car being a 97-01 Toyota, aftermarkets are about a few hundred dollars compared to paying 300 through Toyota. I would replace the sensor because if you don't, your car will have trouble starting up. Happened to my honda

Drove the car maybe 20 minutes then while I was parking it just died when I was putting up the window. I have a new battery so I don't understand it. Lights come on but it won't turn.

Why is it that the oil filter had been cleaned, transmission fluid changed yet sometimes the reverse drive refuse to move the car?

That sounds like a transmission problem or clutch problem. Have the transmission checked and the clutch.

I bought my Camry earlier this year and knew it lacked power from the power steering and the guy’s mechanic couldn’t figure out the problem (I was ok with this as I had been driving all winter with my truck lacking power steering, which built my arms quite a bit, lol!). I’m a do-it-yourselfer and have a Chilton’s manual and prefer to do things on my own because I don’t like the thought of being jerked around by a mechanic just because I’m a woman. There aren’t any leaks, but past that I don’t know how to diagnose the problem and don’t want to spend a bunch of money on parts that are still good. I saw from another post that parts and labor would cost over $2k for a power steering pump and rack replacement, I live up here in AK, so I think it may be more for me if I went with someone else doing it. Why would I lack power in my steering if I don’t have any leaks?

Inspect your steering U Joint on the steering column down at the steering rack, Mark the alignment prior to disassembly to get it back together as close as possible. Toyota has this problem as it binds up making power steering useless. Also you can disconnect the outer tie rod ends from each of the spindles, this will diagnose the strut bearings and ball joints for binding which are also problematic. If you replace the steering rack as you were not able to find a problem else where, I recommend that you replace the rubber bushings that mount the rack to the car. DO NOT turn the steering wheel too far when things are disconnected as you will break the Clock Spring for the Air Bag. If you tear any grease seals such as the tie rod ends, replace them also. Good Luck.

Ive been trying to figure out this problem for a while. My speedometer works, but only works until my car warms up. It zeros out and the odometer is blank. Its making my transmission shift erratically and eating gas. I have replaced the speed sensor located on the top of the transmission and looked at the connector and connector wires. They all looked fine. Other than a little bit of oil coming out of the sensor. Maybe transmission oil? Around the sensor was dry and I seen nothing that would be dripping on it. But its still doing the same thing. Nothing changed. There is no other problem with the dash lights everything else is working fine. On colder days it works longer. On warmer days I will start her up and have nothing. Sometimes it will kick on randomly while I'm traveling at high speed. I am a female trying to learn how to work on cars. Please try and stray away from acronyms I would appreciate it. Or help explain what they mean?

Hi,
Not sure what you meant when you said “Other than a little bit of oil coming out of the sensor. Maybe transmission oil? Around the sensor was dry”. Did you mean that around the sensor was dry but the sensor itself wasn’t?
Did you replace the o-ring when you replaced the VSS? Was the “oil” covering the connector at all?
Here’s an image taken from the Automatic Transaxle section of the Toyota Camry 1999 Service Repair Manual (RM654U) that mentions replacing the o-ring.

Have you scanned the OBDII (On-Board Diagnostics 2)port for any error codes that may give an idea of what is happening?
@Laura Schepers ,
Oil coming out doesn't sound right and if it is covering the connector (do you mean the electrical connector?) it may be causing electrical problems.
The o-ring should stop any oil coming through where it is bolted on.
Maybe thoroughly clean any oil etc out of the connector and ensure that it is clean and dry.
Then check if the speedo works and if it stops check again for any oil in the connector. If there is any its got to be coming from somewhere.
There are two wires going to the sensor and if there is no more oil and the speedo still fails then with the engine switched off, disconnect the wiring to the sensor and then use an Ohmmeter and connect it across the two wires. There should be a reading back to the ECM. If there is then gently flex the wiring near the connector and see if the reading changes indicating a fractured wire in the connector. Also check the connections of the ECM in case of s loose connection etc.
The pin number are shown in the image
Here’s an image of the sensor wiring (from a ‘99 Camry so your should be the same)

2000 Camry - V6
friend swapped engine out with a ebay engine, lasted couple months
sat for almost 2 years after engine swap, it didn't survive
had a shop fix the alternator
now the cars exhaust smokes every time no matter time of day or every time it starts through out the day.
Once in a great while after putting oil, it'll stop a little, but smokes again.
Engine light stays on
Please help

Well if it's a white smoke on just startup it most likely the valve seats that are leaking a little.as the car sits overnight or for a few hours. A valve job will fix this issue (probably around 600-700 @ shop
