so i finally went in and performed the surgery this afternoon, after cleaning the vacuum tubes and egr and modulator didn't work. All in all, it took just a little bit over an hour. The hardest part i had was undoing the bolt to start, and was the longest part, trying to figure out how to get the leverage, so i placed the ratchet in place, then stallone'd it, and went over the top. aww yeah. came undone, loosened it by hand from underneath, undid the vacuum tubes, then figured out why it's better to take off the electrical connector BEFORE loosening the bolt all the way. everything went on pretty quick, the electrical connector required a bit of force to get in, but nothing out of the ordinary due to the seal in it. I also did not disc the battery, mainly because i want to watch if the CEL goes off on it's own after a day or so. Still haven't been able to find out what the Camrys/Toyota's recommended engine cycle is. here's a couple of pics from the right wheel well area. VSV1 is from next to the brake. VSV3 is straight back from the cv boot.
