Im surprized your 2AZ-FE wasn't shaking like crazy. If the intake tube is open just a little they stall.
First Camry Problems!

Those are normal problem with that generation camry.
What do you expect, 16 years with >200k miles.
I have replaced that boot from air filter to the throttle, bought it from Ebay for around $20.
It works great, not a problem.
When you replace it, you may want to clean the throttle valve since dirt may get into there. Just spray it with carb cleaner while opening and closing the valve manually. Let it soak, then start the engine and spray a little more.
Put it back together, you are good to go.

I thought that was weird too. I changed the fuel filter about 5 months ago and started the engine with the air tube off (air tube is in the way) because I needed to move the car out of the way of the garage door and it set a CEL. I don't know what the code was, I unhooked the battery and reset it.
Fuel economy has been great too.

I know, I was being sarcastic about this "big problem" my Toyota had.

It has a 5SFE, it'll run without the air tube though.

My 2AR-FE had something similar, an air resonator fell off, leaving a big hole. Had a low, very low idle, and it might have been down on power. I think it was after the MAF... don't remember now. No CEL.
Thankfully it didn't fall off the car--it was still there, held up by the myriad of hoses and junk under the hood. Popped back into place.

antiozinant??.....is that made from unobtainium?
I've had those tubes split on two Gen 4 Camrys, the Rock Auto replacements seem better made than the factory unit and didn't cost much.

No CEL, all the split does is admit a bit more air BEFORE the the sensors, not after. No different than a low restriction - so called- filter.

I ordered the Dorman on RockAuto today. $55 after shipping.

Actually I'd say that is a big problem given ingestion of dirty air from a filthy engine compartment.
I've never had an intake tube so much as lose elasticity, let alone break, at such relatively low age/mileage (or ever, coming from a driver of 25-35 year old cars some with >>250k). Rubber vacuum hoses nestled in hot locations I can understand, but this I can't.
Makes me wonder if the engine has some odd motion under certain conditions, which caused a strain and breakage.

Rubber that's been in the desert for 15 years and 200k miles? I am afraid to touch anything on my truck - I'm in the same situation as Nick, I bought it used with 200k on it. I threw a set of tires and a $48 Walmart battery in it...bought it over a year ago and it just runs and runs.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sometimes I think of changing the coolant and transmission fluid, but it's a hooptie so I am not bothering and afraid to open a can of worms!

Great parody there, Nick!
I hope E20 got the gist.
He doesn't want his whole car "wearing out" from all the door open/closing, the brake pedal pivot bushing, brake light switch(es) the accelerator cable, the throttle butterfly bushings, getting more gunk into the air filter, dirtying up my fresh oil and filter. Alternator, junkyard starter, fuel pump, reman water pump, front/rear seals.. Door latches.
I could go on, but whats the use? Basically he doesn't quite like the idea of people touching his car or glancing at it the wrong way.
What product is better than this other product? Google. Read reviews, research, and make a decision, simple as that. Having difficulty deciding? Feel free to ask on here. We love reading!
Dont expect people to hold your hand the whole way, start to end.
Cars do wear out, that is inevitable, unless you don't touch or drive it. Instead, keep changing the oil and ATF every other week so the engine and transmission don't corrode up and get all rusty inside. Don't forget to grease the light bulb sockets! Maybe do a drain of the fresh oil, then pour back in. Worked for my grandpa.
Seriously, its just a car. Drive it. It will last you quite a long time, just dont "fix" something when your bored/paranoid.
Dont expect people to hold your hand the whole way, start to end. You have a brain, use it or lose it.
:endrant:
PS, please dont get yourself banned from any more toyota dealerships. One is too much. :appalled:

Some of you need to have some perspective in life. That was a joke son.. This Camry is already totaled. Do you think Nick cares if instead of lasting for another 200K miles, the engine will only last another 150K miles?
If you were serious in your comments about dirt ingestion, you need a vacation from BITOG.

You're talking to yourself again.
I would personally do a few short OCI's with some cheap oil, but that is just me.

I suspect he was actually talking to me...
And Id be seriously concerned about dirt ingestion on a vehicle I intended to drive for a while, whether a "while" was 1 yr or 10.
A broken intake right next to the throttle body is not something Id be happy about seeing. Bad suspension parts, seals, mounts, exhaust, etc. Oh well. Its old and has age. This one is a bit more dangerous.
I too am surprised it wasnt stalling...

You don't live the desert where temp extremes are far worst....

I'm not too worried about it. Almost 209k miles and now has a salvage title from being hit in the left-rear corner. The guy's insurance paid me more than what I have in the car, even after the $2100 purchase price and the tires & battery. The car is basically free at this point. Like dishdude, I bought it last year and have put a set of tires on it and a $48 Walmart battery.
It runs great, and will get another UOA in about 3,700 miles. I have a stash of oil that almost all of it was $1 per quart, I'm trying to see how cheap I can run this car and how long I can. If it dies tomorrow, oh well, I'll be going car shopping. If it lasts another 200k miles, awesome!
I've driven it through some mud puddles and some dirt roads months back, but have since pressure washed the engine bay (air tube was fine then). Still a little dirt left, but no oil leaks. It's actually pretty clean.

I am too, but not much. My Camry lost a resonator in about the same location, but kept running and didn't throw a code. Idled low though, which was more surprising--but that was the clue something was off. O2 feedback loop to the rescue, I guess.
