Toyota Corolla 2000 Check Engine light.?
Hello, I have a toyota corolla 2000 ce.
I had a check engine light for a while, and when it was time to do the inspection, I replaced my Mass Air Flow sensor, and the problem went away, car accelaration improved a lot too.
2 weeks ago, check engine light came on again, I took out the sensor, cleaned it with Brake Cleaner spray, reset the battery.. another week past the light is on again.
What is wrong? I've heard it could be Oxygen sensor, but how can I be sure that thats it?
The car is starting up slowing laterly as well, like something is draining the battery. May I should get new spark plugs?
Thank You.

Go to your local chain auto parts store(oreillys,autozone)and get the code from them,they will read them for free. Then email me the code and I will try to help you out. Battery life is only 3/4 years at best,so it might be something as simple as new battery,or it could be several other things.Do not just replace sensor's,you could replace them all and still not find the root cause of the sensor going bad.You must get the code from the computer or you will go broke replacing sensor's.
