The ex wife is having trouble with a 2007 Camry. It shuts down shortly after starting. She took it to a mechanic who said that she needs to replace the catalytic converter and quoted about $2600 to replace it. After some research online, I thought it might be the fuel pump relay. I was going to replace it and see whether it would fix the problem but I am not sure which one it is. Could someone please tell me? The fuse/relay box under the bonnet does not list a fuel pump relay. Attached is photo of relay box behind the glove compartment. I thought it might be one of these.

 

The fuel pump relay is built into a circuit board.

 

Is the car in California or some other state that requires state approved converters only be used, if not there are cheaper alternatives.

 

No mate, it is in Queensland, Australia.

 

The $2600 is pretty steep even in local currency.

If your handy with tools can install a vacuum gauge on the engine intake manifold to check for a plugged exhaust system. The internet would have video's on how to do this test.

Can find the fuel pump and hot wire it (under rear seat cushion).
