Check Engine Light is on Inspection $94.99 - $114.99 Get a Quote

Hi there. When a car’s engine vibrates, it could be caused by dozens of different fuel and ignition system components. This is why it’s always best to have a professional mobile mechanic complete a check engine light inspection first. This inspection allows the mechanic to download all stored error codes that are triggered by sensors and electrical components when a fault is detected; and makes the diagnostic process much easier. And to answer your last question, yes, the 1997 Toyota Corolla does have a mass air flow sensor.
