My son's 94 Camry was running just fine, and then it suddenly became very sluggish. A few miles down the road (in stop-and-go city traffic) the "check engine" light came on. After returning home we tried to read the "codes" but the light does not flash when the test terminals are shorted -- it just stayed on. We also tried to read the "live" codes; the "check engine" light flashed quickly when we turned on the key, and then went off when the engine was started. After trying to read the codes the "check engine" light is no longer on, but the car is still very sluggish. We didn't drive it very far when testing; I suspect that after a few miles the light will come back.
Sound familiar?
The car is a 2-door SE with the 3-liter V6 and automatic trans.
Thanks.
Wayne.
How did you try to obtain the codes? Did you short pins E1 and Te1 in the grey connector under the hood?
When the light comes back on, short the above pins, and get back to us.
Without seeing the codes, I would venbture a guess that you first consider a good tune-up, and use Toyota plugs only. Any other manufacturer will not work very well. I see this every day, new plugs, and the engine runs poor. Toyota plugs fixes it right up. The heat ranges are diffferent in Toyota plugs.
