So does your engine crank, but just not run at all? Or it does not even crank when you turn the key?

 

yes when I turn it over and rev it it turns on but when I let off gas it dies out and n all lights light up on dashboard, engine oil etc never has happened before thank you for responding back

 

Look in your owner's manual to see how to pull OBD I trouble codes with a paper clip. The trouble code will tell you where the problem is. "Engine turns over" means that it will rotate when the starter is used. The engine can turn over and start running, or it may not run when too much is wrong. "Cranks" is interchageable with "turns over".

 

I don't understand what you are suggesting but thank you

Here is a link to a thread in which I go through the Diagnostic Link Codes (sometimes referred to as "OBDI"), see post #244:

Gen3 Restoration Thread

I didn't start out intending to own a Camry for this long. But when I bought this 1993 Camry SE V6 (3VZ-FE) 5MT, in October of 1992, it seemed to be good enough for my needs. It handled like a pig when new, but finally I found a shop which specialized in race cars and they set up the alignment...

The way to get your check engine light to blink out an error code is to connect terminals TE1 and E1 together. Most use a paperclip because it is easy and everyone has one. Note that you can use just about anything to connect the two terminals together, in my link above I showed how a made a very nice one out of a pair of Toyota wire harness repair parts as a replica of the SST the manual talks about.

Attached is a .pdf of that portion of the shop manual which lists the DLC codes, and has more details how to get them from the blinking "check engine" light, when you connect TE1 and E1 together, for your reference:

 

If you have a carburetor, check the float. Alcohol in today's fuel will soak and make the float too heavy and the engine floods and dies. If that's it, a new float will solve it. To check, drop the float in a bottle of gas and seeif it floats or sinks. It should float.

 

a '94 Gen3 Camry has a throttle body, no carburetor

 

IAC valve may be crudded up, but NORM is the man on that generation of Camry.

 

Thank you another possibility I will google how to address that also. Thank you for your post
