My son has a 1994 Camry that sometimes fails to start, and it's always
when
the engine is warm. It has never failed to start first thing in the day
or after
it has cooled down but it occasionally fails to start when it is still
warm
from been driven and he then tries to re-start it.

Any idea what the cause can be?

By the way, he took it a ship and they they apparently replaced an
ingnition
coil, or ignition switch coil (I don't have all the details yet), but
that clearly
didn't fix the problem.

Thanks for any ideas.

Change the coolant temp sensor.

Thanks, Rog, we'll look into that.

Update: my son's car has another symptom--do you think it's
related to the above? After he starts it, when it is in Park or
Neutral, sometimes it revs up repeatedly, without him
touching the gas pedal or doing a thing.
This revving stops when he puts the car in Drive.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Lean roll. Sometimes a symptom of a "lethargic" O2 sensor response. Can
also be a dirty IdleAirController valve. Neither will trip a Check Engine
light at this stage. The O2 Dynamic Resonse Test is outlined in the shop
service manual.
