Just so you know, 93 was the last year of the 3VZ-FE V6 engine Camry (at least in U.S.A and Canada). 94 V6 models came with the 1MZ-FE engine.

Not only was the engine different, but the electronics as well. 94 V6 Camrys have OBD-II diagnostics as opposed to the earlier models with OBD-I.

Also, the sludging problem was problematic on later 1MZ-FE engines (97-01).

If you really want a V6 Camry, it's much cheaper and faster to just sell your car and buy a V6 model.
