94 Camery array of problems please help!

[marcusthomas]

Hi, Im new to the forums here so please dont be too hasty. And PLEASE, try to help me out here.

1st off I have a 1994 Toyota Camry XLE with 222,XXX miles.
with tyrods repaired.

Id like to fix these problems instead of cutting my losses and junk yarding the car. and maybe salvaging it to make about 900 bucks off of it hopefully.


so, here is my list of problems.

1. The "check engine" light has been on for about 2.5 years now, and shows no sign of turning off. Also, it flashes when I reach anywhere from 45-60mph. unsure of the problem.

2. the steering column/wheel shakes uncontrollably to the point where my hands become numb. I was told topping off the tires with air will help but a second opinion wont hurt.

3. The car itself shakes vigorously, and extremely violent when the car is in idle (in drive, but idle.). It is fine in park and in neutral. Also, the problem will go away when i start to accelerate, but the resurface when i reach a certain point in acceleration.(mostly when im trying to stay at a stable 45mph.) It is the craziest drive ever. The car just shakes like its a cell phone on vibrate and it doesn't stop. I have read that checking the idle speed to see if its too low and replacing motor mounts were the only options for fixing this problem. Let me know.

Also, I don't need to worry about labor costs, just parts if necessary.

PLEASE HELP

Thank You

pull the codes

the picture is wrong but look on the passenger side of the engine for the box labeled diagnostic

just fill the tires to the right pressure, take it to a shop maybe get the tires rebalanced? maybe have them tell you because you ignored the problem you killed the bearing and legally you cant leave till you sign a waver

Yeah, definitely pull the codes and post back what you find. The blinking CEL indicates a misfire of such severity that the catalytic converter is in danger of overheating or being ruined -- that's a fix-it-sooner-than-later sort of problem
