Hey Camry peepz
i was in an accident on thursday night coming home. thank god im ok and the toughness of the camry gen 3 saved my life. i have a problem and need help. me and my dad spent the weekend fixing my front end. my aftermarket headlights and turn signal have to be replace( i orderd them already) i got lucky and my motor nor radiator or air condensor was affected with this crash my motor didnt even budge. both my airbags were deployed and i will replace them later. the problem im having is with the fuel. ive heard that when the airbags are deployed the fuel cuts off for protection. my car will start but then cut off. im trying to look for the fuel cut off switch, on my 94 xle v6. i checked all my fuses and they are fine, the only other thing i can think off is the EFI relay. here are pics of the accident and the rebuild.

Relay would be the Circuit Opening Relay located behind the glove box.

EFI Main Relay is located in an engine compartment relay box drivers side.

would i have to replace them both and where behind the glove department and do u know if there is a cut off switch for fuel

Did not think this car had trip type relay that shut off in case of accident.

Find a small plastic box labeled "Diagnostic" in the engine compartment near either the drivers or passengers shock tower. Inside the box find the B+ and FP terminals and jump them with a section of wire. This will bypass any electrical relays and turn the fuel pump on the ign key.

Determine if the pump works if it does there is a problem with the electrical power to the pump.

You may need to remove the glove box to see the relay.

Try the Autozone website at www.autozone.com for electrical wiring diagrams. This will help you diagnose the problem.

im going to try this i will let you know

ok i have the final results. this is what i did and the car started and ran. but something still is not right.
first i tried to switch the EFI relay with the AC MAN they are the same, nothing car cranked started shut off. then i did the puel pump test by bridging the b+ and fp terminal pump turned on. then i did the bridge and while bridged i cranked the car and she turned on and stayed on and everything sounded good then my friend let go of the bridge and the car shut off. will this help determine what to do next

if anyone has had this problem after a front end fender bender please let me know what to do i havent had my car for days and i want to get it running

It's the relay. Pull the panel and see if the relay either got disconnected or damaged. You should be able to put a meter on it and see if the relay is still good.

im going to try that how much are relays and if this dont work im goin to see if there is a short somewhere. ill keep u posted

If you have a test light, check for voltage at the Fp terminal while cranking, that will tell you if you have power going to the fuel pump and that the Circuit Opening relay is working while cranking. If should also have power when the engine is running, which means the ECM is taking over powering up the relay.

N.E.O.
