3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
95 Camry Wagon stalls after 3 miles. Cranks right back up but shifting to drive it bogs down. After an hour or so I can move it a few more miles. Thought the fuel pump was burning out so I replaced fuel pump. Plan to try replacing fuel filter. If this dosent work, what should I try next.....
im a little unclear. after it stalls, the engine starts and runs fine until the transmission is shifted into gear? this whole time the motor runs fine, revs freely until the car is in gear? when you are able to drive it, is it bogging down the whole time? if you shift to neutral, does the car still roll and the motor idle properly?
It stalled. Then I costed. Put it in park and started right up. Shifted to D.... RPMs down to 100 and dies. Will run and idle in Park. Had it towed to a mechanic after reading all the fuel filter woes. I told him my sad story and he says, "Lady. I been doin this a long time, You have more problems then just the filter." By the way It wouldnt start yesterday when I got home from work. Guy just called.... Fuel filter is on and he says the pump is pushing to much gas. 410.00 for pump and filter...labor and diagnosing problem.
so according to mechanic the fuel pump is over-pressurizing the fuel system and car tends to stall (not enough air to keep up with ratio)? why only in driving gears and not in Park or Neutral then?
interesting.
keep us posted.

that does sound like a strange diagnosis. isnt there a fuel pressure regulator on the motor? im assuming you were able to rev the motor past 3k rpm when you were in neutral or park. why when its until load it stalls? i guess live and learn and im learning something new right now. certainly keep us updated.
You said you already replaced the fuel pump. The pump only has one speed..full speed. The fuel rail has a pressure regulator called a pulsation dampner. It may be defective. Fuel pumps seldom go bad and the secondary fuel filter in the engine compartment has no specified change interval by Toyota. I would take the car to someone who is familiar with Toyota/Lexus and has the test equipment and expertise.

^Agreed. Skintight, even if we gave you items to check I don't think you have the mechanical-ness to test. You're not going to get the magic easy fix solution here. Who replaced the fuel pump? I don't think it's the filter and am wondering why the mechanic replaced it if, "You have more problems then just the filter."

Mechanic says he has a machine that measures fuel pressure. That there is too much pressure. And as of right now the parts store has delivered two fuel pumps that are the same as the one I put on. To stong Im assuming. So hes trying to get the right pump????

It's just a gauge. Ask him what the pressure is? S/B 38-44psi If too high replace fuel pressure regulator - but I don't understand why the too high pressure allows the engine to idle and not to run. How do you know this mechanic?

It's the regulator that limits pressure.

High fuel pressure is caused by a faulty Fuel pressure regulator or a blocked return line. Low pressure is caused by a clogged fuel filter or in-tank filter sock, a restricted fuel supply line or a weak pump.
OK soo. Sorry its takin so long to get back. took my kids to FL to visit grandmother.... No internet. Car made it... whew. mechanic checked the sparkplug wires and they were wrapped with electical tape. (He put my fuel pump back in ... the new loud one... I plan on reinstalling the factory one) The shop installed distibuter dust cover and spark plug wires and a fuel filter (that i had purchaced) Grand total 274.00... And the car is still not right. Its hesitating and missfiring when warm at a stop in gear. I give it gas and it stays running. ie... shifting to neutral and back to drive. Once its past 15 MPH its fine. Ran it there and back 955 miles. I called the shop I last took it too. Can't in good conscience take it back to these guys. So what do you guys think. ???? Any help with this is greatly appreciated !!!!! Im thinking since replacing the spark plug wires helped it may have damaged the distributer. Anybody know a reputable mechanic in Charleston SC
