My 95 camry 4 cyl. dies and or sputters when idling in drive or reverse, it does this sometimes in park too. There is no check engine light on. What is my problem?

    no lights, nothing. replaced distributer, replaced fuel filter, checked spark plugs. Put B12 in Gas.

    Do you have any dash light warnings on? Has your check engine light ever come on while driving and turned off when idle? Or vice-versa?

Solution one:

If your driving in your car and it suddenly dies for no reason. That usually means that the air bag kill switch stopped working. Some kind of safety device to kill the engine.

This is what happened to me I was driving in my car home from work and everything is perfect one minute and then the car DIES!!! The next morning took it to my mechanic and he looked under the hood for 4 hours and found nothing. It wasn't doing it that day. I was insisting that my car was not working properly and the mechanic said he found nothing in the diagnosis. Then I was leaving and the darn air bag light came on. I went back in to the garage that minute. He took the car back in and found the problem within one hour. It was the darn air bag switch.

solution two:

Check the Distributor Cap and Rotor. Check Spark Plugs and wires. Replace if necessary.


solution three:
Check Air filter and fuel filter. Replace if necessary.


solution four:

This is the most expensive solution but if all else fails Change the Control Computer. Garage will charge around $500.

Check timing, vacuum lines for leaks, battery and alternator for proper voltage output, ignition coil in distributor for cracks. If all are ok, have the injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
