Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / May 20071995 Camry won't start
My 1995 Camry-4cyl- will crank but won't start. It began a couple of months ago when it began stalling at stop signs, etc.. I changed the IAC VALVE, COOLANT TEMP SENSOR, and VSV VALVE but it began stalling again and now it won't start. It ran fine before it stalled and it seemed to happen after driving for a while. I tested the coil inside the distributer cap today and it read 1.1 ohms which is out of the normal range of 0.4 to 0.5 ohms ( primary, the secondary was ok). Is the coil bad? Or should the distributer be replaced?Also when I took the distributer cap off there was a little oil underneath where the cap meets the distributer body. Is this a problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx. Oil leaking past the distributor o-ring can do this to your coil, according to m Ransley (see below). You probably want to check the igniter too while at it. You can also google old messages on how to replace the o-ring, which is a common problem as the car aged. So make sure you replace that o-ring in the distributor. m Ransley wrote: > There should be an easy way to test the ignitor before pulling the > distributor, which must be done to replace the coil, usualy it fails > from a bad O ring leaking oil past.
