2004 Toyota Camry keeps dying while driving but it starts right back up. Replaced fuel pump and air filter but it's still doing it. Someone said it may be the catallytic converter? Does that sound right?

You may have problem with your cooling system. Follow these simple steps to try to rectify the problem:

1. Write down the code of your radio.
2. Allow the engine to cool down. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
3. Locate the ECT-engine coolant temperature sensor. It is located to the right of the engine head-cover, by the metal hook. The number two sensor with black wire connector. You will see the large coolant hose connecting to its body. That's the ECT.
4. Depress and pull out the wire plug.
5. Use a deep socket with wrench to remove the sensor.
6. Replace the ECT, reconnect the plug wire and the battery negative terminal.
7. Crank up the car again and test drive.

1998 Toyota Camry. Why does my car lose power while driving, then an hour later it starts back up? Replaced fuel pump minus that filter, air filter, fuel filter.

Didn't I answer this yesterday?

You need an auto electrician to connect a professional grade scan tool computer, and set it to record live data and take it for a test drive. It will record exactly what goes wrong when the car loses power. That will dictate the fix. This type of fault you can't just guess.

2004. Why is it emitting black smoke?

Is your vehicle a petrol or a diesel? Black smoke is a sign your engine is burning a fuel mixture that is too rich, (Too much fuel, not enough air). Start by replacing the AIR filter. After that you need to get the fuel injectors checked. If yours is a diesel have the EGR valve checked as a sticky valve isn't diverting unburnt fuel back through the fuel system.

1985 toyota camry unplug mass air flow sensor engine will start plug back in engine dies

There is a switch in the airflow meter that keeps the fuel pump relay closed as long as there is airflow. With the meter unplugged, the pump should not run except when the key is turned to start. It would seem to me that you have a wiring issue. Try jumping the fuel pump relay so the pump runs whenever the key is on. (Remove the relay and jump the pump wire to the accessory wire--see top left diagram.) This defeats the safety feature but will keep the pump running.

1994 Toyota Camry XLE replaced fuel pump & filter car starts & idles but boggs out and cuts off when pressing gas pedal?

have you pulled codes or checked the fuel pressure? It could be a host of things, like a clogged air filter restricting the flow of air into the engine, a bad air meter, clogged injectors, etc. Engine codes will help you start narrowing things down.

Has the engine air filter ever been changed?
