Hey everyone, im new to this forum so im not sure what type of info you may need.
First off, I have a 1994 Camry XLE V6 Auto.
Heres a quick background on what happened. I was getting on the onramp to the highway, i was going around 65mph accelerating fairly fast (not flooring it), and all of a sudden it stopped accelerating and the RPM's started to drop. It sounded as though my car was just coasting, but all my electronics and stereo were on. I slowed down and pulled over to the shoulder, meanwhile as my speed decreased, so did my RPM's, and once they hit around 2-300, all the engine lights came on and it came to a stop.
Now I had it towed to the Toyota dealer, and they said that it needed a new timing belt, drive belt, and water pump. The price they gave me was high, so I bought it to a local garage. They also said that the timing belt was the issue, and that it had wrapt around the crankshaft.
Now I've been asking people on another forum, and they said that if the timing belt caused the problem, then the valvetrain could very well have gotten messed up as well. They also said that if my car has an interference engine, then it most likely is damaged.
So does anyone know if this engine does have an interference engine, or what you think the problem is exactly?
