Shut off while driving and wont start

Follow up post. Other mechanic tracked issue to ignition coil and ignition control module. Recommending to replace those to include distributor plus cap and rotor and plugs for good measure. Looking at $850 from local shop. Wish I was handier with cars.

Thanks again Roy for your help. Now have to decide when it makes sense to pull plug on 20 year old car.

Did replacing the egr valve fix the problem?

My 1995 camry 4 cyl 2.2L 250k has been stalling out after about 20 mins of driving (runs GREAT for those first 15 minutes or so!). Before it stalls, all lights dim, tachometer and speedometer drop to 0, radio turns off and car just stalls out. Required jump start to restart immediately. Left once overnight it started fine the next day w/o jumpstart. It stalled out today after 20 mins of driving in D position while idling at stoplight.

Water pump and timing done 5k ago, plugs, wires, rotor, air filter, & ignotion coil done about 8k ago. Alternator and Battery replaced after first stall (4 days ago). New battery terminals on day of last stall.

After car stalls all lights function but are dim. Starter clicks, but nothing happens. Tried starting in N, had no effect.

The on dash batt. Light and taillight warning light come on as part of stalling, but turn off after car is already stalled out.

Here's the kicker. Whilst mid-stall, my radiator kicked on and the car didn't stall out and ran fine. That was the first time about 2 weeks ago.

I haven't been able to test the altenator/ battery output. I don't have the tools.

I gave up and sent it to the mechanic. There's only so much I can do. I have a 2 year old who runs around while I fix the car, and I don't like playing with the electrical system, I'm slightly scared of it especially with her around.

Thank you for giving me an idea of what the mechanic will tell me, I figured it was probably a short, but it didn't make sense for it to start without being jumped one time and require a jump another time. Then I realized the short might not be arcing all the time and may only make contact under certain circumstances.

If my mechanic tells me it's my flux capacitor, I may be back for more answers! :P Thank you bunches! - Shelley

It was leaking oil. I replaced timing belt and fuel injectors. It will start but stalls when I give it gas

Check Fuel pump pressure. Have someone check fuel presure with a gauge hook up to the high pressure line. Pressure should be 35-45 PSI. Climp fuel return line with a needle nose plier after the fuel regulator to see if pressure increase.

I have a 1995 I4 Camry that occasionally stalls out on acceleration. This is an intermittent problem - It seems happen about once every week or two. If I'm at a dead stop and step on the gas, the RPMs will drop and the car will die. If I'm moving I don't seem to have any problems. It also has problems starting sometimes. If I give it some gas it will usually start, but usually stalls afterward.

The car has been tuned up recently (oil change, plugs/wires, distributor cap and rotor, fuel filter, air filter, PCV valve). The check engine light is not on. I checked some of the sensors (TPS, MAP, etc) using a vacuum pump and a multimeter, but they seem to be working fine. I would think it would throw an engine code if there was an issue with a sensor, but I could be wrong. Aside from this issue the car seems to be running great - It normally runs pretty smooth and I am not getting poor fuel economy.

I'm just about out of ideas now. Maybe something with fuel delivery? Any help you can provide is appreciated. Thank you.

My son's 1995 Camry (v6) has been stalling off and on for the past month. We recently had it towed to a "mechanic" in the area. After much diagnosics, they claim the codes were saying it was the crankshaft sensor and the cam sensor. After replacing those items, they said the problem continued, and NOW, the car won't even start. They are claiming their computer shows nothing wrong with the car. They are a reputable chain and have had the car for 5 days. Any suggestions?

I recently bought a 1995 Toyota camery it My car Turns off when I am at a stop I have to restart when I come to stop
Slight shaking before the car shuts off we bought it used and are trying to figure out what we can do to fix it, our other car was recently stolen so this car means everything to us we have to find a way to fix it any help would be greatly appreciated we are desperate for help

Would I have to worry about the transmission at all :-(

I have a 95 Camry with about 157,000 miles. When driving on the highway, the car is fine. My problem occurs when I'm idling, stop and go, or going in reverse slowly.
When I'm in Park, Neutral, or Drive (mostly in Drive), my engine sounds like its going to die and actually does die. My RPM shakes between 0 and 1, until it dies. I have to shift in neutral and rev my engine to at least 1 rpm. When I'm in reverse (lets say like when I'm parking) my engine dies almost automatically because its reving low.

What could be my problem?

My car dies after driving about 2 miles. It won't start right away but can be started about 8 hours later without any yellow signal on the dashboard panel. Then it will die again after driving about 2 miles.
