I just bought a car used, the keys that came with it looked very worn
out, so I had a duplicate set made at lowes as a precaution. However
the new keys only open the door and trunk but will not start the
car...is this a security measure or was the key badly made?

   Its a 1988 Camry wagon, std 4-cyl engine (3S-FE).  The engine runs
fine as long as the cars sits parked, You can rev it up, it doesn't
choke. Acceleration is OK at first.  However, after being driven for
about ten minutes slowly on residential streets, the engine loses

the paint on my 2005 Camry is starting to go bad all over.The paint is
chipping and cracking (hair line cracks)anybody had any similar problems

Should I buy the 6 cyl Camry vs the 4 cyl?  How does the 4 cyl do in mountains and high altitudes

I bought this new in 2003 . Now it has 39000 city miles on it. I have
rotated and balanced the tires every 7500 miles. But recently I have
been noticing that the OEM Continental Touring Contact AS tires have
had significant loss of tread on the outside. I have also read bad

The Airtex fuel pump for 1988 Camry is 30.00 cheaper than the Denso
pump.  Airtex sells for $143.00  Cheapest of all the brands. Is this a
case of "you get what you pay for"? Or will the Airtex perform as well
as the high-dollar brands like Bosch?   Thanks, Geronimo

I am having a problem which I tried to search for but no related topic
found.
My car has 162k miles, we've had it since 86k miles, most of these
miles have been highway miles (from 86k to today)

I have a 4 cyl. Camry 2.2 form '98.
Is use two different fuels.
Normaly I use what we call LPG (mixture of propane and buthane).
In that case the idle rpm is stable at around 800 rpm.

A 91 4 cil Camry has no pvc valve from what I have read, what is there
to maintain to keep the gas recirculation clean and operating properly.

Everything in the trunk area looks normal.  I suspect a electrical problem
Maybe even the motor that operates the trunk release.  Any chance of getting
a wiring diagram?  I have a multi-meter which I know how to use.

I have a 2000 Camry that has an accerlator that sticks. When I'm at a stop
light and go to start off I have to press down on the gas pedal really hard
because it is stuck in the idle position. It kind of pops loose and then
acclerates normally. I have a friend that has a 95 camry ...

Is there a good place to get replacement carpet for a 2000 Camry. Mine is
not looking very good. It was kind of rough when I bought it. The rest of
the car is in great shape.
Thanks

Need a little help on tracking down this problem
Battery terminals have been cleaned and the connections are tight. Voltage  
of battery seems ok checked with a voltmeter.

I own a 4 cyl Camry in wonderful condition.  The only problem is that
cold or hot it takes excessive cranks for it to start on its own.  If I
press the gas pedal a little and crank it will start.  I checked the
cold start valve for ohm reading and its okay.  Is there another sensor

have just had a quick read some of the info on cleaning the MAF sensor and
some of it's symptoms, and one of the things mentioned was auto gearbox
performance issues.
I am thinking that this may be the cause of a couple of gearbox problem I
