OK, your fuel indicator is wired to a sending unit that is located inside the fuel tank. this assembly is part of the fuel pump assembly. the fuel indicator sending unit is housed in the same assembly as the fuel pump. The fuel indicator will not function properly if there is a bad ground or, if there is a fault within the sending unit. there is a floater device attached on this assembly and, it raises with the fuel level and lowers when the fuel level is low, sending resistance signals to the indicator gauge on your dash board. these signals can be disrupted if the ground is corroded or, if the sending unit is damaged. In most cases, replacing the sending unit will fix this issue. if the fuel indicator is stuck on the full mark, check the ground. if the fuel gauge is laying on empty all the time, replace the sending unit.

2007 Toyota Camry fuel pump relay

I called 3 toyota camry dealerships to buy a "2007 toyota camry fuel pump relay. None of them could find this part in their system. Nothing in the fuse/relay box in the engine compartment show anything to indicate a fuel pump relay. Many people give contradicting answers as to where the relay is located and even post diagram layouts, which don't even match what the actual engine fuse box looks like. So far it is a mystery as to where the relay is located.

How do I safely replace fuel injectors on a 96 Toyota Camry

Jonathan: The real question is why would you want to do that? If it is leaking, you have no choice, but if semi clogged, I would go to Advanced Auto and buy their super fuel injector cleaner called something like KX44. Here are instructions on how to change out the fuel injectors: http://www.ehow.com/how_4509092_replace-fuel-injector-toyota-camry.html and here is a YouTube video of how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEIP9ZYnnRc

As for safety, since it is full of fuel, do not smoke and keep a fire extinguisher handy, however, we have had no problems. Please let me know if I helped you! :)

My camry 2001 v6 engine emits black smoke and **** in traffic

Black smoke indicates running "rich" (using excessive fuel) sounds like an injector is sticking open. I would first run a strong fuel system cleaner through it. (Maybe even have a professional fuel system cleaning) Ques? When was last tune up? A dirty air filter would contribute, but not make alot of black smoke.

Your fuel filter is near the outside of the fuel tank, or inside the tank. Go to AutoZone.con, and you can get directions on replacement.
