Camry wont start.....sometimes

[dlichterman]

So my 97 Camry sometimes decides it doesn't want to start. It will turn over and start fine and then just die. If I rev the engine to warm it up it will slowly start to work fine. This only happens when it is around 80 outside. Anyone else know whats up? Should I check the fuel filter or anything?

snap off the stock air intake box, open up the throttle body, and use a toothbrush to clean out the IAC.

i'd use seafoam for the chemical to clean it with.

make sure it's a well ventilated area, and preferably void of cops, as large clouds of smoke will rise from your exhaust.

after I'd reccomend changing out the plugs, and the oil.

had the same problem, and this worked fine for me

Off to pep boys to grab a Haynes manual since i don't feel safe taking my car apart without one.....ill pick a can of seafoam up while im there. Might ask one of my more automotively inclined friends to help me out.

tune up most likely

replace the plugs w/oe
