perhaps you have annoyed someone and they have posted a ping pong ball in your fuel tank
nasty and if your in the know no amount of dealers will find fault
For 83-86 Camry, 87 corolla, 84-87 pickups and 4-runner: Code 12 = knock sensor or circuit (distributor or circuit on Cressida, Supra, and Celica 3S-GE)
87-90 Camry, all other models 88-90: Code 12 = Rpm signal/no NE or G signal to ECU within several seconds after engine is cranked.
All models from 1991 on: Code 12 = Rpm signal No "Ne" signal to the ECM within several seconds after the engine is cranked. No "G" signal to the ECM two times in Succession when engine speed is between 500 rpm and 4000 rpm.
The dipstick will show a line for cold and a line for hot. Remove the dipstick, wipe it and replace it. Pull the dipstick again and read the level on it.
If you have a dipstick under your hood for the tranny fluid, then fill it in there slowly... if not, you'll need to fill it through the filler plug that will be on the side of the transmission just above the halfway point
What it does have is a plastic checkball(almost like a ping pong ball ) in the tank which prevents back flow up the filler neck. If this hangs up,it will cause poor flow the right way fuel goes in the tank. I have poked around and got these to free up before. The last time I used a small peice of plastic tubing and successufully freed up the ball.Severe cases my require tank removal as there are some makes and models out there requiring a replacement fuel tank.
the only thing i can find other than the dealer is getting a universal dip from a local auto parts store and cutting it to size with isnt really to hard or go to a wrecking yard and find a 4 cyl dipstick from a camry that i close to the same year as yours with the same motor.
There is a little diode in your distributor that gets tired, and that's exactly what they act like. Either change it, or go to an auto wrecker and get a whole distributer. That's sometimes cheaper than buying electical parts.
I have an auntomatic 87 camry that just had that problem. I thought it was my fuel pump but it ended up being my ignition coil. It cost a lill over 400 to fix, but I think I got a little screwed. The part is actually only a lill over one hundred dollars. Hope this helps!
generally camrys are automatic and if so the fluid goes right into where the dipstick came out of. be sure to add it slowly so it does not come up the dipstick and flood out and be careful not to overfill it.
