94 Camry 2.2l Problem After New Head Gasket
So I just replaced my head gasket with a mechanic family member when we were done we had the car running for a an hr and a half no problems. I then drove the car home with no problems as I was about to pull into my driveway the car just shut off and wouldn’t restart. I started checking all the connectors and vacuum lines and found the connector to the distributor were ripped off. Found a new connector and rewired it. Now when I start the car it started for a couple seconds then dies it sounds like a vacuum leak but I can’t find anything wrong. Any suggestions would be great. Feel like I have look at everything twice over.

Did the engine run OK before shutting down?
Can you hear air being drawn in as in a hiss? How much work did you do? As in how familiar are you with the engine items in taking the head off and putting it back on again? Is this a California or Federal emissions car? There are differences in the head design and air hoses. Is the fuel pump running? Blown any fuses? |
Car ran perfect before the shut down. Sounds like air is being drawn in after the engine shuts down. I have done a few head gaskets but on other engines never a Toyota. It’s California emissions. Fuel pump is running and there aren’t any blown fuses

The California head may have an auxiliary air injector hose fitting on the back mid center of it. A hose runs to this.
Check hose, hose connections. There may a VSV bolted to the back of the engine block. Check hoses. See private message. |
All those lines are good. The car backfires sometimes. I decided to check the distributor and there is no air gap. I didn’t think the distributor would have gone bad already because I just replaced it twice. Getting a new distributor right now. I’ll let you know if the car runs after the new one is in
