1993 camry cranks but wont start
Hi all. New member here with a busted camry.
Its a 1993 2.2L manual transmission with 135k on it. I use it as my commuter car. The car will crank all day long but wont start. Pulled off the cap and rotor. Saw a ton of corrosion so I replaced it and got the car runnning. The next day, same thing. Cranks but wont start. It has good spark and is getting fuel. I tested the fuel pump and it works. New battery and the starter also tested good. Pumping the gas pedal does not help. Side note: Earlier this week the car would not even crank. So i bypassed what I thought was the clutch switch but it was the cruise control switch (cruise didnt work anyways.) Found the clutch switch, bypassed it and it cranks now but it wont start. Both switches are bypassed. Probably irrelevant but I thought id mention it. PSS. Timing belt and water pump are 2 months old Please help! Thanks |

its usually the problem when its use often... I always spending a lot on my commuter car! What I do is a regular visit to my mechanic friend.

I was going to suggest that it might be a faulty ignition coil. I had one heck of a time trying to get my 1990 Camry going and in the end it was the ignition coil at fault. My only problem with it being the ignition coil is that you said that it fired up after you cleaned up the rotor, which suggests that the ignition coil is ok. But maybe not. It might have had enough strength to fire, I don't know (not an expert here by a long shot).
The ignition coil is in the $80 - $90 range to buy (at least in Canada, where I am) and it was pretty easy to replace. But you might want to wait until some of the more experienced folks chime in with their opinion. Good luck. |
Ditto on checking the coil.
