94 camry le 4cylinder starts when cold, shuts off .

try starting the car and while running disconnect the negative battery cable,if the car still runs turn on the head lights,if the car dies the alternator is weak. I think its weak and can charge the battery as long as the lights are off,but cant keep up when theyare on. so if drive most of the time in the day time you are ok as long as you dont have to start the car too many times. when you drive with the lights on and the engine slows to an idle like when you park the car dies. make sense?

CAR NO START PROBLEMS:-----

It can be the issue with weak battery or faulty battery or if battery is ok,then its faulty starter causing the issue.

These will help.

Thanks.

Check your fuel pressure. It may be low, or losing pressure from a bad pressure regulator. A thorough test of your fuel system seems in order. (A pressure test can also detect a bad regulator, if it's done properly.)

Do you have a Service Engine light on? If so then the first thing to do would be check for any codes.
May also have a fuel delivery problem. Need to check fuel pressure when the key is turned on and the 10 seconds it will run. If it has a fuel filter has it ever been changed? I seem to recall though Camrys with non servicable filters but don't quote me on that.

look for vacuum leaks under the hood, or disconnected sensors, etc.

Do you have any engine codes on this vehicle?

Is it a 4 cyl. or 6 cyl. Toyota Camry?
What submodel (like LX, etc.)

most likely there'sa vaccum leak that prevents it from idling that's why it dies out

have you done a tune up on this car lately? plugs, wires, oxygen sensors? if you have not start here and see where you are after that.
