99 camry le startup issues
Started the car about an hour ago and it ran for about 5 seconds before stalling. This has happened before and cranking it would usually get it going. No such luck today. Any ideas? Oh, and i know nothing about cars so any help would be appreciated.

RE: 99 camry le startup issues
I have a 99 Camry LE that had the same symptoms. I just returned from the dealer yesterday. It was the Idle Air Control Valve, which gets clogged and fails. This prevents the car from idling properly. When my car stalled, I could keep it from stalling by revving the engine. But, when I released the accelerator, the car would stall.
It appears to be a common problem with the Camry. This is the second Idle Air Control Valve that I've had to have installed.
