Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / May 20081997 Camry - Throttling & Stop at Reg Signal light
Hi, I have 1997 Camry LE - 4Cyl. I am experiencing a new problem on my camry. I was driving at 40mph.. and at Red Signal light, I was slowing down. My car was throttling (Shaking) and Engine was off. All lights on the dashboard were On. Restarted the engine, and moved on.. It happened again after 30 mts.. Appreciate if you could hint what problem it is and repair solution too ?? Some one was telling it could be related to Transmission fluid and some others say Engine Idling.. Greatly appreciate your help.

Michael Is it Do it Yourself or need to take it Mechanic?? May I know how much it costs ??

Put it this way: 3+ years ago, besides oil changes, I knew nothing about cars. Then my radiator blew out on my '96 Camry. Cost me $1,000 to fix at the dealership - all because I neglected the coolant. That was a very expensive lesson for me. After that, I resolved to learn as much as I could, to avoid $1,000+ repairs at the dealership. Best wishes, Michael The 97 generation you can start by cleaning the idle air control valve (google "camry IAC cleaning"). This is a notorious issue especially after (97) Toyota cranked up the cylinder head temperature for the low emissions rating. See if the engine will keep running if you give it a little gas. This opens up the throttle plate and lets more air through when the IAC valve couldn't. The EGR system, except for plugging up with carbon, is simple and otherwise fairly reliable. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Regards, > Rama |
