94 Camry-Hard to start sometimes

SOURCE: 1996 Camry 100 km stalling

You have one of two very common problems.
Number one may be a stuck open EGR valve
Number two would be a failing Idle Air Control valve (IAC).
Try this: Open the hood & locate the EGR valve, close to the firewall, behind the intake. Find & take with you a small hammer. The next time that it happens, open the hood & tap on the EGR valve. If it is sticking "open" the tapping may dislodge the carbon particles that are keeping it open.When the EGR valve is open, exhaust is getting into the intake at idle, and this will def stall out the car.
There is no repair to the IAC valve, it would need to be replaced if it is bad.
One of these two scenarios will cure your problem, I see it every day.

The 1st thing to do is have a trouble code retrieval test run to see what is making the check engine light come, this is the source of the problem.

hi there
sounds like you need a tune up or you need your injectors cleaned
so i will help you clean them with out getting your hands dirty but you need to follow me every step of the way.
first i will give you my tips

1. get a high quality fuel injector cleaner that you put into your fuel tank
2. make Shaw you have just under a full tank of fuel
   
3. while i never say that one should drive a car like it is a toy you are going to have to do some harsh exhilarating during this
4. 1000rpm is 1 revs on your dash bored so if i say do 2500rpm it means do 2.5 on your dash (that's only if you dot know what rpm means)
5. never turn the car off while we do this
   
6. please do not speed you put your life and others at risk
7. please do not drink and drive

1. have what you need ready to go including the injector cleaner
2. start your car and let it warm up keep the revs just over 1000 rpm
3. as the car is running add the fuel injector cleaner
   
4. when you have done this i want you to increase the revs to about 2000rpm
5. keep it like this for about 30 seconds
   
6. after the revs are back down to 1000 rpm i want you to get ready to take it for a drive
   
7. OK so take it for a light drive around your street keep it very close to home as if your car stops you don't want to have to walk a long way
8. once you have done this for a while and you feal confident i want you to be a bit quicker in exelarating giving a bit more power remember dont speed
   
9. now once you have done this i want you to take her home and let it idle for a bit
   cause you need to get ready to go for a long drive
   
10. now that you have got to the bathroom and are ready to go i want you to find a nice open road where you can do 60mph
11. now that you are here i want you to act like ther is a road train in front of you doing 50mph
12. now i want you to overtake this road train applying full power by pressing fully dont on the gas
    
13. once over tiaken slow back down
    
14. i want you to do steps 11 to 13 twice at least
    
15. now go back home and let me know how it went
    

1. as stated i dont think you should race or rev the motor all the time to high once a month give it a good run this will loosen and clean all the rubbish from the motor and everythink will run freeley like it should
   
2. dont drink and drive
   
3. dont speed
4. saty safe on the roads you life is to valued
   
5. and let me know all progress as i want to know if it helped as i pout in a lot of time and effort to helping people on this site
   

SOURCE: 1994 toyota camry wont't turn over. Got gas it cound be fuel filter or fuel filter fuse.

hi there, try changing out your starter, and see if that works, usually if it wont turn over that is the cause.....if that does not solve it, it could be a eletrical problem...the battery cables might be loose in there conection to the battery or there housing spot......hope this helps...if nothing works you'll need to take it to a shop.... shia

Your carb may need cleaning. I had the same problem with my Astra. If not then there is too much air getting into the engine.
