im faster Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Okay.. so this isnt my car my second wife's.. car..(my fiancees best friend i end up fixing thinsg for her often..) okay so here is the deal.. Well the problem is intermittent...and always starts right back up its a late 90s 4 cylinder. i can tell its never really been taken care of with to much effort.. i noticed the wires are new. i didnt check the plugs i just assumed.. i plan on checking out a few things rotor, dist cap and the plugs.. the air filter is dirty i know that.. i took it out and it was still doing the same thing.. does anyone know if this is a common thing? or what else it could be other than what im checking?

ImUrOBGYN Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 chump. / thread haha Other than what you've listed, I'd also check the IAC and TPS. You can test them using an voltmeter/ohm meter dealy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 It should be an ODB2 car. Is the Service engine light on? If it is take it to autozone and have them pull codes. If the EGR valve is stuck open it will create a vacuum leak and those conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the EGR valve is stuck open it will create a vacuum leak and those conditions. Good idea. I just saw '90'. I see now it's a late 90. Definitely should be obd2. Run those codes!

ImUrOBGYN Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 sounds vacuum related I think he mentioned he did already. Edit: My bad. Getting this thread confused with another. Vacuum is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilclown312 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Vacuum like stated above would be a good thing to check, is this car a automatic or manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furloaf Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Was the oil changed regularly? Those Camrys were known for an oil sludge issue without regular changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 stuck egr valve or bad lockup control solenoid can cause that... could also be starting to eat the timing belt it'll jump a couple teeth on those and still run just poorly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
