Hey there, I've been having some issues with my 4 cylinder 1995 Camry and curious to what it may be. It has had this issue un-frequently for the past year or two but this summer it has gotten much worse.
After heavy driving, like the highway or long stop & go traffic, when the car comes to a stop the RPM begins to drop and the car starts to sputter and it will stall if the RPM falls to 0. If I hit the gas it will keep going, sometimes seemingly fixing itself, most of the time it will just start to stall soon as I slow down.
I've asked a couple people about it, first suggestion was the oxygen sensor but unplugging it doesn't seem to do anything. Another told me it was the fuel filter. And just today I had a guy look at it and he thinks it's being caused by a vacuum leak and pointed to a specific tube along the top manifold that might be the source of the problem,he said it had something to do with the connector or the chip controlling the vacuum pressure as unplugging the tube cause the engine to sputter in the same manner. I don't know what the part is called offhand but I could post a picture of it if needed.
Thank you for any help, I'd rather see if this is a self fixable problem before I take the car to an expensive mechanic that doesn't know either.
