88 camry electrical nightmare
Hi everyone i have an 88 camry that wont start by the key so i jump out the solonoid and it runs and revs up perfect but when i put it in drive it wont accelerate or rev up.it moves just slow. The seatbelts and heater and windows also quit working at same time.car was perfect before so i highly doubt trans issues.any help would be amazing thanks.

if key wont work it may still be the starter motor at fault
stuff not working
time to check the fuses in the engine bay and inside
next plugs and leads and timing - I guess - if labouring under load
drives slow
if it is an an automatic
sounds like the auto tranny has gone into fail safe - will only have third gear and reverse
if it is an auto - you can replace that tranny computer

zachfarmal,
I had a similar situation with my 91 Camry in September. In my case, the 80 amp main fusible link blew because of a electrical short to ground while I was driving. Everything except the engine died including warning lights - the engine still ran but slowed as the battery depleted. I barely made it home.
Two questions: Is the "hidden" link you mention the AM1 fusible link (black wire in series connected to the 80 amp main fusible link (on the white wire from the battery)? Also, after you replaced the fusible link, did it ever blow again? (My link keeps blowing due to the short, which I haven't yet located.)
Thanks - C-P
