96 Camry does not accelerate well (Lacks power)

[karribean]

All, I need your help once again. Had a problem where my 1996 Toyota (4 cylinder) Camry automatic transmission was cutting off on me. I changed the IAC valve, EGR valve, ignition coil, spark plugs, spark plug cables, the rotor button, and distributor coil. After all that, I am still having issues. Then I changed the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and problem was solved.


New problem is the car is lacking power. When I give it gas, it is slow to get up to speed. When the AC is on, it is even harder. Sometimes when I am when the car is going between 70 and 80 mph there is a slight hesitation. For awhile there last night while driving from SC I did not think I was going to make it home. The car started to hesitate really badly. I thought it was going to cut off. Al this happened while I was going about 65-70 mph on an incline (going uphill) with the AC on. I turned off the AC and it still hesitated some but did not cut off. Does anyone have any ideas?

3 weeks ago I noticed my gas mileage was back so I added some seafoam in the tank. I have notice a difference. Someone told me to try BG gas treatment.

Any help will be appreciated.

Could be a clogged fuel filter or bad fuel pump.

hi
i have the same problem..... what did u change fuel filter or fuel pump or both????

[1996camry]

i have seeing fuel pump cause the car loose power, too. INSIDE THE FUEL PUMP HAS A SCREEN AND IT COULD GET DIRTY...

HAVE YOU CHECK THE SPARK PLUGS FOR MISFIRE... TAKE THE SPARK PLUG OUT AND LOOK AT IT..SEE IF EACH SPARK PLUG BURN GAS OR NOT...MAYBE YOU HAVE 3 SPARK PLUGS RUN WHILE ONE DIED ON YOU...

CHECK SPARK PLUG FIRST....AND POST BACK WITH PIC.. IF YOU HAVE OIL INSIDE THE SPARK PLUG TUBE, YOU WILL LOOSE POWER... IT DID ON MY 2000 CAMRY...AND i KNOW THE CAR DOESN'T RESPONSE QUICK AS BEFORE... WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT, SEE IF YOU HAVE OIL AROUND EACH SPARK PLUG.

I changed the fuel filter and then added a can of BG CF5 Fuel Injection System additive in the gas tank into a full tank of gas. You can get the BG from most car dealers service center. Hope this helps...
