Hello Toyomoho, and all of the other Toyota Camry enthusiasts who have realised the awesomeness of the vehicles we have the honour to possess - be it through chance, experience or research. As for the car running some of the time, and then *after it warms for a bit, shuts off* -> try checking out your distributor pick-up specs - one of my pick-ups (out of the 2) was bad, and I got myself a replacement used distributor and problem solved. ..Alright, to add, I wish to mention that I too have a 1988 Camry that does not start after having done... a ´what I thought would be...´ harmless Carburetor Spray Intake Manifold cleaning operation. It has been 6 months now, and I still have not had my precious Camry back on the proverbial road. Yes, I have thought yet again that my distributor pick-up yet again was suspect due to some questionable spec. readings and got myself a reman. distributor from Autozone. Everything looks fine enough (have good spark now & fuel pressure) but still no go with start-up, yes I have my timing belt in good timing & working, & yes my fuel pump is turning on with engine suction through the Air Flow Monitor box (have purchased the rec. COR relay as previous recommended to do). The thing is, it does almost start at first when cold, (with distributor at max advance), but then no luck afterwards. What I am about to do now is try to have some friends give me a push down the street and I will see if this does the trick. This is the point where I am at. Please give me your useful commentary oh wise good Toyomoho once again (&yes, the COR was the black relay under the ECU - thank you), ....my hair is becoming grayer by the day, & me looking for more cold beers, thank you very much, Derik *-*
