hi im pretty new to this forum but i found no other way of fixing my problem. i own a 1995 toyota camry 2.2 liter and ive it had for at least two years. recently my car stopped working. everytime i would turn it on and put in drive and accelarated it would turn off. so i kept trying until it finally turned off and never turned on again. unfortunately im a student in college so i need my only car to get back and from school. so i panicked and put it into a shady mechanic shop. they had it for over a month now and cant find whats wrong with it. what i did notice was that the car kept burning out the EFI fuse everytime. i put in new fuses and was able to keep the car on but it didnt move and then later the EFI fuse burnt out again. i would like to know if anyone else has had the same problem and what could be causing the car to react that way.

Have your heated oxygen sensor check a good place to start. EFI fuse blowing can be a nightmare to deal with, you need a competent electrician to find this problem. The EFI circuit is the main path through the engine control sensors.

Have the R/W wire going to the PCM for short to ground check.
