the map sensor and the plugs shouldn't stop the engine from running completly but will not make it very drivable - experienced both of these issues first hand. The mechanic that said it's the plugs should go back to school - if you on the coast ask some other forum members if they can come over and check it out , a few heads are always better than one and you may be able to 100% diagnose whats wrong. have you popped the bonnet and checked the timing belt? you should be able to see at least part of it - ive worked on a handfull of mates camrys and the timing belt won't cost an arm and a leg to change. take a picture of the bay from a few angles for us etc , take a video if you can of what it does when your trying to start it etc etc.

Thanks for the help. I have a mechanic coming by in a few hours. I have a feeling its the timing belt or the fuel pump. Ill keep you guys posted on what he says is the problem.

Just a side note, do you guys know how much it would cost (approx) to fix a fuel pump and timing belt? (its hard being a student)

Good to see you got the problem sorted mate.

It's good knowin ol' Adam... "The Yank with contacts". He's American... they're allowed to be a tad arrogant! He means well :P

If you ever need any info on "can a *insert part* be installed on a *insert part* work?", he'll freakin know it... hahahahahahaha!!

He's also Auscam's American hub on getting USDM stuff too - so far I've had help with him getting my tail lights, special bonnet cover... transmission torque mount... NASCAR CAMRY BOOKLETS?! Hahahaha

Good work Adam, you're more appreciated than you think.

I seem to be having a similar problem and looking for some help...

I live in the USA, Florida state.

I have a 1991 Toyota Camry Wagon LE V6 Engine.

It runs fine, but if I step on the gas to over take another car or just put a lot of the demand, it shuts the engine off...

I do have spark, I replaced the sparks plug, the coil/rotor and fuel filter.

When it the engine dies and I try to start it again, it turns over it just won't start.

Battery is good, no weird noises or anything.

Being dead on the side of the road I discover something, if I unplug the electrical plug to the MAF, the car would start but it will die soon.

Then if I plug the cable back to the MAF, the kind of resets everything and then the car would start again and continue to run fine as long as I take it easy.

I got one of those spray to clean the MAF sensor, I sprayed the sensor and cleaned the whole housing but that did not help, problem continues.

What could be the problem ?

If it is a MAF going bad, can I repair those so that I don't have to buy a new one, or is there a place where I can ship it to in the USA to have it repaired ?

I called the auto parts and they want $195 USD for a new sensor and I just don't have that kind of money right now for something I am not even sure that is the problem...

PLEASE HELP....

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
