im faster Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 okay.. my fiancees best friend has a 95 camry... yesterday it died and wouldnt start.. after a short time it started again. she made it to pepboys when it died. they said its probably the fuel pump. she went to leave to bring it to me only a mile away.. and it died before she made it out of the parking lot. a few hours later i went to go get it and it wouldnt start. i went this morning to check and it started and drove home with out stalling.. So, i thought if a fuel pump goes bad its bad. None of this intermediately working crap. Is correct? or am i wrong. and any other ideas what might cause this?

Browning Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Could be the pump. I'd check the relay first though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky31186 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 When it shuts off and wont start shoot some starting fluid in the intake and see if it fires.. And they can go out / come back to life.. they dont just shit out completely.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im faster Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Ok thanks.. i wish i could get it to shut off again so i can do some trouble shooting lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Or if you have a fuel pressure tester you can hook it up to see what its at now.. probably 30's if its weak and going out.. And when it wont start it will be at zero.. Not too many things go wrong on those cars.. so it sounds either electrical or fuel pump..

Tractor Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'm first guess is the fuel pump as well. Can be intermittent at first then gets progressively worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Try unplugging the hoses going to the EGR. See if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 So, i thought if a fuel pump goes bad its bad. None of this intermediately working crap. Is correct? or am i wrong. wrong. They can fail all at once, or fail over the course of weeks. When mine went out it kept randomly stalling on me over the course of 3-5 days, then it quit for good. Did you inspect the fuel pump wiring harness/connector for corrosion or burnt ends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im faster Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Yep everything in the fuel pump area look great.. for the egr i know this is common for Diesels but how would it help this car? (serious questoin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(serious questoin) I just saw it on a '99 Camry so it may be worth a shot. This one showed no other symptoms apart from an intermittent stall.

Tractor Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Nasty problem then, I do know they will shut off if anything is wrong with the sensors along the air intake system. Have you put it on a computer to see if there are any codes or "pending codes." If you have an ODB-II reader it might be time to drive the car with it logging while it happens. That would be my only way of figuring it out besides just guessing and playing part swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
