A friend of mine has a 1993 Camry, the car revs out perfectly in neutral or park, but doesn't when it is placed in drive, I floored the accelerator and no power. At first I thought it was the cat. converter, but have since ruled that out. My thoughts are if it was a transmission problem the engine would rev in drive but the car wouldn't go anywhere in a hurry. Any insight into what might be causing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

 

On a 93 what's the compression?

 

transmission slipping is what i would say.

 

Check trans fluid level.

Make sure the shift control level is actually moving the lever on the trans and the shift control cable has not been damaged.
