Car died suddenly one night. Engine runs when carb cleaner is sprayed in intake. Will not run on its own. Fuel pressure is comming from filter, but unknown how much. When line is removed from filter, fuel sprays violently. Does anyone know what may be causing the car to not start. When it is running on the carb cleaner it fires right up and runs like brand new.

93 Camry LE
2.2 4cyl 3SFE i believe.

 

Well youve narrowed it down to the problem being either air or fuel so that helps alot. Heres my two cents on what to look for
1. Improper air fuel ratio. Maybe an idle sensor is not functioning. Theres so many of these sensors it might be tough but maybe you should just pull codes if you can borrow a scanner
2. Weak fuel pump, use a gauge to check the volume coming from the hose. (Youd think it would at least try to start though but who knows)
3. Bad fuel pump pressure regulator (if used)
3. Injector rail clogged? (not likely)

 

So i am curious High roller, what did the fix turn out to be?
