ENGINE STALLS

Possible idle control valve need to be cleaned
have to get it scanned for codes and check idle air valve position when stalling and hard to idle
do also fuel pressure test
check PCV valve and vacuum leaks.

This guide will help us fix it.

CHECK FOR CODES
CHECK EEC RELAY
AFTER STALLING AND NOT STARTING HAVE TO CHECK SPARK CHECK FOR FUEL PRESSURE
WITH KEY ON DO U HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON
IF NOT CHECK AND SUSPECT RELAY

Any codes? Check engine light on?

It sounds like you might have a throttle body problem with the IAC. Pretty sure that particular make and model has an electronic throttle body. I would cleaning it first. Make sure the key is off when you clean it.

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure first.

Have the throttle body cleaned. While replacing the starter, the battery was disconnected and this would result in the engine computer resetting itself and needs to relearn.

As the throttle body and IAC are dirty, the controlled amount of air entering the engine would be lesser than the required amount due to dirt restricting air volume.

Cleaning the throttle body and IAC would increase the idling speed and prevent stalling.

If you are unable to clean the throttle body or IAC, then you need to drive around until the computer relearns and stabilises the idling speed.

Is the check engine light on? That would be the first place to start.

If you get a code, get back with me and we'll go from there.

Also, if you don't have any codes, you should have your car drive tested by a technician with the know how to use a scanner and read the live data on all your sensors and computers.

A competent tech will be able to recognize a sensor out of spec.

Hello .. thanks for the donation .. much appreciated

Try removing and cleaning the CKP (crankshaft position sensor) .. sometimes when the sensor is very dirty ar worn/damaged it sends incorrect or no signal to the ECM, especially when the engine is normal operating temperature.. this should in theory set a DTC (fault code) and show up on a scan .. but it is not always the case !!

Camshaft & Crankshaft Position Sensors (Camry 2.4L 4-Cyl. & Camry Solara 2.4L 4-Cyl.)
Camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor deliver input signals to Engine Control Module (ECM). Camshaft position sensor may also be referred to as Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor. Camshaft position sensor is located on end of cylinder head at flywheel end of engine. Crankshaft position sensor is located on front of engine, near crankshaft pulley. ECM may use input signals for determining ignition timing (spark advance), and for controlling fuel injection system and VVT system.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (2.4L)...On left front of engine. near the crankshaft pulley

Hope this helps .. let me know

No problem ... thanks for letting us know your final fix .. remember we are here in the future should you need us !!

happy motoring

Hello

To better assist you please tell me if your model is a LE, SE, Solara SE, Solara SLE, or XLE. Also the engine size in liter and the 8th digit of your VIN.

Hello

I apologize one other thing. Please go to Auto Zone (AZ) or OReillys (OR) and for FREE they can pull the codes to the car. Most important: Once they check your codes, if they find something and you dont get it fixed and need to get back with us, please make sure you tell us exactly what the code was, number and all. Example, if the code was E0568 O2 Sensor bad. Then make sure you give us all of that. While there for FREE also they can bring their tester out and check your battery and alternator.
