My car has recently began dying while sitting at a stoplight or if I go below 10 mph. Also, when I accelerate it seems to not have much power. It's almost like it stutters. I need to replace the fuel filter and have use a bottle of the Lucas Oil Tune Up in a Bottle. While Tune Up in a Bottle seemed stop the problem for a couple days, it has since come back.

Hi tdhupp,

Thank you for the donation.

Seems you have an idling problem and mostly such problems arises when the throttle body and Idle Air Control valve gets clogged with dirt. This would reduce the amount of air getting past the throttle body thus the erratic idling and stalling.

I would suggest getting the throttle body and IAC cleaned and idling speed readjusted. Check the spark plugs and wires as well.

The car starts and drives but will not get up to speed shifts ok just very little power and no smoke or anything else like that. I'm thinking fuel filter or pump or even injectors if not that spark plugs

How bad does it miss?Why did they say you needed a engine?To check back pressure on the exhaust you need to run a back pressure test. Best to have a exhaust shop do that.

The car stopped dead in traffic. It wont restart. I have (since then) changed the alternater, distributer, plugs, plug wires, roter, and ignition coil. It will turn the belts but no fire. Checked the fuel filter- no fuel in it. I checked the fuel pump but could not get very good readings with my multimeter. So at this point I am baffled. I need help please.

You are at the right path. Unplug the fuel pump connector. Probe positive to B+ connector on the wiring harness, black to ground. Turn the key ON. If you have voltage, pump is bad.

Did you test the voltage as I asked? You also need to check fuel pressure at the fuel rail. For this, you will need a fuel pressure gauge. Did you check fuel pump fuse and possibly relay?

If you smell fuel, you may have a problem with the EVAP system, possibly the EVAP solenoid.

The fuel filter is mounted on the driver side of the engine compartment, below the charcoal canister.

You can do 2 things one clean the idle control valve or replace the idle control valve and gasket and hit the road w/ no more problem. The best way to clean the idle is removing the trottle body assy and remove the idle control valve clean it with carburator cleaner. Or a trettle body cleaner.

I have a 1994 Camry V4 2.2L and I turn on the car and about a few minutes later like ten minutes the car just turns off. The engine just stops. I try turning on again and nothing. Seems like something got hot.
Alternator is new and Fuel pump was just replaced and the fuel filter too and the Distributor and batter is good too.

Help! Thanks!

Pick your symptoms below check and test it and get back with some testing results

Cranks but no start condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

No crank at all/nothing/nada when key is engage to starting position

Could be a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

The car starts but after ten minutes it turns off or the engine shuts down or stops running. I have to let it cool down before it starts again and then again only ten minutes it last so its got to be some sensor that is not working or heats up. I will check the sensors too and well I took it to Autozone and the check engine light was on and the guy got the code 12 which is the knock sensor. Well I dont think that is the problem because that engine light has been on for quite sometime like a year or so more.

Check and monitor the fuel pressure before it stalls out this will tell you if its coming from the fuel pump

Fixed it was a faulty Distributor. I had a re-manufactured and well OEM is the way to go. I had OEM before when it first went out.

NEW NEW NEW people and shop ebay. Cheaper.
