My 97 Camry started this winter being a little hard to start. Does this engine have a cold start system ?
I had a earlier model corolla that had a cold start injector. I replaced it and solved the problem.
would appreciate any help....SHORTY

 

When was the last tune up done on the car?

 

what all is involved in doing a tuneup on this engine ?

 

A basic tune up usually includes: plugs, plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, oil.
How is the idle on the car?

 

There is no cold start injector. The computer uses the ETC sensor to note coolant temp and adjust fuel injector and ign timing based on this. Check this sensor.

 

Joey what is the sensor just to the right of the engine coolant temperature sensor on my 97 Camry 5sfe and what is its purpose ? Thank you Joey for your help. Shorty

 

If a sensor or sender installed in coolant pipe:

One is for dash temp gauge, the other for temp for engine computer.

Green/brown and brown wires may be computer sensor.

Gauge temp sender may be yellow/green (only one wire).

 

Thanks Joey..Shorty

 

What is the replacement interval for spark plugs on my 97 Camry 5sfe engine ? Thanks for your help....Shorty

 

Manual states every 60K miles to meet emissions requirements.

However OEM type plugs should last 100K miles or more.
