Camry is 99 4 cyl LE 95000 miles. Whenever car sits for more than 5-6
hours in cold or damp conditions, it will not start or sputter and
die. It will start if gas pedal is floored.
Car runs like a dream and starts normally in warm conditions.
Have replaced starter, alternator, cleaned throttle per a lousy
mechanic's suggestion. Problem is not fixed yet.
Is this a common problem with a well known solution. Please help

maybe its electrical. When it fails to start, then try drying off the
plug wires and distributor cap with a pistol type hair dryer. On some
of older cars I have heard of trouble with a cracked distributor cap.
I don't know specifically about your vehicle.
