SOURCE: 1990 Toyota Camry DX 4 cylinder''Swollen battery''short some where?

You will need to have the charging system tested. This can be tested at any Autozone or similar parts house.

What appears to be happening is that you charging system is charging at full field mode and thus cooking your battery. If your alternator is stuck in full field mode it will need to be replaced. Sadly this part is not cheap to replace it.

However Autozone and parts houses like them will test the system to make sure this is happening.

Hope this was of help.

Sounds like your battery is getting hot due to over charging, the reason could be that your alternator voltage regulator is faulty. If the battery gets warm after a short run that is an indication of over charging. Fully charged battery should show around 14Volts. Or it may be wrong battery for the car.

SOURCE: 1990 Toyota Camry DX 4cl 'Swollen battery''short some where?#2

The battery has seen better days wear gloves and eye protection in dealing with it. The alternator should be checked out. Get a NEW battery and put a voltmeter on the terminals and start the car. Voltage should be between 13.5 to 14.5 w all accessories on. Anything over this means the voltage regulator in the alternator is shot. Remember you can't test the alternator with the old battery ITS DANGEROUS. Batteries can short out especially if they are overcharged. You probably have a sulfated battery which means that its ability to accept and give a charge is destroyed . Therefore the battery is useless.

Where is the fuel pump relay located in a 2007 toyota camry

The fuel pump is suppose to be buried in the middle of all the float assembly. You will need to pull it all out of the tank. You will need to disassemble the float mechanism to remove the metal cylinder in the middle which is your fuel pump. Here's a pic of what you are looking for. In some models it is located about a foot further back in the tank. According to the MFG these have been like this since 1990. Look for the item in the attached photo and you have found your fuel pump. To check the fuse and relay for this fuel pump. Try checking the fuse/relay box under the hood of this vehicle. Look at the UNDERSIDE of the relay box COVER. Toyota calls this relay a "C/OPN" relay

Toy turns over but wont run change fuel filter n fuel pump still

The fuel pump should run for a second or two when you first turn the key on, but then shuts down to prevent the engine from flooding if the computer does not get a signal from the crank or cam sensors which the computer uses to trigger the ignition system. So no spark no fuel. Check to see if you have a spark in the ignition system.

Fuel conumption too high toyota camry dx 1990 model

just an idea... install a free-flow air filter like a K&N brand filter for example & then get the air flow meter adjusted again... if you can afford it, a shop with a dynamometer & performance tuning skills will be able to do the best job for you. there may be a user-adjustable ECU available for your model so you can set it up for economy by you as needed too...
