Need a Tune up Parts list '93 camary/also dies for no reason

[BSRmoo]

Hi I need to know a parts list for a tune up on a 1993 camary with almost 200,000 miles. Also if the car is off and you play the radio too long, somtimes not always it will start and run for about 30sec. then die. One has to put on the brake, start it, and rev it above 2500 rpm and then after about 10 min it will run fine. Also has a knocking sound when turning corners.
I have put new cv axles on it , a new radiator, oil/filter change every 3,000 miles, New fuel filter, New struts, New timing belt. I just want to solve theese last few issues. I also have some oil leaks.
Any help will be greatly appreicated. Thanks!!

You'll get more advice,

but I'd say start with air filter. spark plugs, inspect with likely buying distributor cap, rotor, ignition wire. Look at some of the rubber parts. hoses, belts.

Sounds like you have a sticky Idle Air control valve. For that, you would have to clean it or get a new one. The procedure for cleaning can be found here : How to: Cleaning Throttle Body -4 Cylinder Engines- With Pictures

THis is also a good website for DIY stuff: Camry FAQ ------> READ FIRST -----> Comprehensive List of Gen 3/4 INFO and DIY

But to answer your questions, we would need to know if you have an I4 or V6, and approx where the oil is leaking. Is it leaking near the timing belt area, near the distributor, etc?

I agree with judge2: air filter, spark plugs, rubber components, spark plug wires, oxygen sensors, pcv, see if you have any vacuum leaks...

Definitely clean the idle air control valve. I would also change the PCV valve. You might want to replace fluid like the transmission, differential, and coolant.

on top of above tune up things I would consider getting a new battery if playing radio (at engine off) causes startup problems later.

Thnaks for the help i will try to tackle this tomorrow!!

[bdy0003]

Where are you leaking oil and what kind of an engine do you have?

[BSRmoo]

The leaks are on the pan the valve covers and i dont know where else

[bdy0003]

Valve covers, I'm assuming you have a V6? So your valve cover gaskets need to be replaced and if there are indeed leaks on the pan, maybe the pan gasket? Anyone want to chime in?

I don't have a V6, but on my I4 the distributor o-ring was leaking, so maybe something along those line too?

[BSRmoo]

It is a LE I4 and there is a little blow by the distributor cap
