Hello!
1) can you tell me if the MAF sensor for avensis 2.2 d4d should be in the same parameters? ( I can't check the voltages due to the safety glue around the wires but the resistance is the same at +20C)
2) the car is starting now in the "damage mode" (check engine light on, vsc + trc off, no power from turbo) and the engine will not start without depressing the accelerator (gas pedal).My brother was at 3 different dealers and they all come out with a different problem: the EGR valve, then the SCV valve, and 3rd - the throttle body need to be replaced (1500.00$); can you, please, give me an advise about it? or you can recomend me a good tester device to help me fixig the problem?
Thankyou in advance!
PS: please excuse my bad english!
I uploaded a video with the engine runing.
Three dealers came up with the same diagnosis? That's odd but they have the car in front of them and hence can see and do the testing.
If you're looking for a diagnostic tester to verify their claim that those parts are bad and need replace, I think you'll pay as much or more just for the tester than for the repairs. Ask about their warranty: if they put the parts on and it isn't fixed, they either give you your money back so you can go elsewhere... or they finish what they started and do a follow-up diagnosis. Let me know...
(btw: the video won't play - bad link )

Thank you for your response!
The first dealer says "we have to change the egr valve", but we didn't
The 2nd dealer says the scv valve must be changed (I asked him about EGR and him said it's working fine)
And the 3rd dealer says the throttle body need to be replaced,but none of them hasn't gave us the error codes or any other details (except price)
I'll ask tomorrow about the waranty, but usual in my country, if they put the parts on and it isn't fixed the client must continue to buy parts till it's fixed with no refound...
