1993 Camry 5SFE - where is the radio suppression condensor ?
While driving up a mountain road this morning for a day of skiing, the engine on my beloved Camry died suddenly. As with others on TN, the problem proved to be a capacitor aka condenser which caused the the 30 amp AM2 fuse to blow. The capacitor is rumored to be near or part of the distributor/coil but I can't find it so hopefully someone can assist.
I am not a mechanic and don't know anything about electrical issues but I will do my best to explain the setup. The part I believe is the "coil" (part 0209019-02163) has two screws on the outboard side. On the back screw, there is a single wire attached. On the front screw, there are two wires attached - including the infamous brown wire which caused the problem and robbed me of a day of skiing. I unattached the brown wire, wrapped it in electrical tape, put everything back together and the engine started up immediately. (I wasn't able to attach a picture to this posting for some reason).
I can't see the "capacitor" which I understand is the root of the problem. I have seen it refered to as a radio suppression condenser with part number 191133-16240. If someone could tell me what exactly I'm looking for and where to find it, I would be most grateful.
Thank you,
Nemo
