1990 Toyota Camry Questions & Answers
I have a 1990 toyota camry 4DSD, One day wail
I would start by checking the lead from the coil to the spark plug these are usually blue or orange leads and plug into the side of the motor if your car is a 4 Cylinder it will have 4 if it is a 6 Cylinder it will have 6.
Make shore that you have not nocked one of to do this make shore they are pushed on at both ends..
If you find one is loose push it on then take the car for a little drive to clean the plug.

Where do you spray the starting flued in a 1990 toyota camry
You can remove the cover of the air cleaner, pull aside the element, and spray it up the intake while someone cranks.
Try to use the minimum needed, a short puff or 2. A giant dose may cause damage if the engine starts in an explosive way.
Unless you are experiencing very cold weather, the required use of this stuff points to some underlying fault. If the engine runs on the starter spray, then dies, there is a fault with fuel delivery pressure. If it shows reluctance even with starter spray, there is a fault with the ignition, with bad timing a leading cause. In that case check the timing belt has not skipped a tooth, and that the ignition leads and plugs are OK.

Intermittent NON-starting when it rains? Need checklist!
Most common problem is old/defective distributor cap and ignition wires. Use a spray bottle with water and spray distributor cap and ignition wires with vehicle running. If they are causing your problem you will see arcing from the wires and the vehicle will stumble/stall when the cap/wires get wet
My 1990 camry started missing and sputtering on interstate and has only started for 30 seconds In 3 days. After reading it could be Anything! Please help stranded
You are right, it could be almost anything. The first thing would be to check the trouble code readout to see if that gives a clue.
My 94 did this twice at different times. The first was fractured contacts under the base for the EFI main relay. Thus the fuel and spark would sputter on and off. Older Camrys develop this fault commonly. You can see it when you turn on the ignition, (but don't start it) and the trouble light on the dash does not show up
The second time the ECU (computer) itself had become faulty. The car would start, then not, then run rough. It is not an expensive repair with a ECU from the wreckers, and it can be tested on a diagnostic machine.
