Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / May 20082000 Camry Missing at High Speed
The Car: 2000 Camry LE Sedan 102K Miles The Engine: 5S-FE The Problem: A couple times a week I feel the engine cutting out at highway speeds (50-60 MPH) if I come to a stop at that time the engine will die, otherwise the car runs fine. Also, while coming to a stop if I feel the engine about to die I can drop it into neutral, give it a little gas and the engine will recover and keep running. I have new spark plugs for it but have not installed them yet. I think it is a bad ignition coil or a fuel injector going bad. Wanted to get some tips before I throw any significant money at the problem. Any ideas would be much welcomed.

No cap on the 2000 model just two coils with two spark plug wires each, unfortunately no way to test the coils on the 4 cyl..

If it was put on a scope which cilinder was misfiring would be easily seen. > On May 5, 3:55 pm, bla...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > filter or fuel pump.

I may have found the cause of the misfire, I pulled the number 1 spark plug wire to replace the plugs and the spark plug tube has about a teaspoon (guess) of oil in the bottom of it. This would certainly explain the problem. -d On May 6, 6:39 pm, bla...@gmail.com wrote: > > On May 5, 3:55 pm, bla...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Oil, could be it was never torqued correctly when they were last replaced and the oil shorted it, but I would worry about that plug wire also Hello, i had the same before and everything came fine back when i changed the fuel filters. try to check them both the one on the right side of car engine and the other one near by fuel tank.
