Hi, I have a 1996 Toyota camry vienta (3vzfe) with 230k kms and this morning when I was going to work the car died on me.
I tried starting it wasn't starting. I tried again this time giving it a bit of gas and it started, every time it slows down it dies but starts again after I crank it whilst giving it some gas. what do you guys reckon the fault could be?
the battery doesn't seem to be an issue as the headlights and radio are working on accessory position, apart from this issue I haven't noticed anything else, the car was running perfectly fine yesterday.
I was thinking of tightening the throttle cable to try running the car for now, is it a bad idea? Cheers.

Based solely upon a past experience with this similar issue, throttle body and the Idle Air Control valve need to be cleaned.

Have a look at a few YouTube videos and they will show what you need to do.

      Android auto

      I have the Cruiser Hybrid 2024 and can confirm that AA wireless is not working, still needs the cable. I'm a bit disappointed because my phone won't fit anymore in the wireless charger tray.

      Hi!

      Hi to all! Derek here, recently got our RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid 2024 from almost 2 years of wait. Before that we have and still keeping our trusty 2008 Corolla. I join the club because I'm a bit overwhelm by the features and the new technology that came with the RAV4, my wife is afraid to drive it because of this, more fun for me. 😄 Cheers, Derek

      Timing issue, 1994 st204 celica

      I’ve got a 1994 st204 celica with a 5sfe motor, it runs perfectly for 15-20 until it warms up then it starts misfiring and stops. Then when the engine cools down it will start and run perfectly until it warms up again. I have replaced the igniter, internal distributor coil, distributor cap, rotor button, spark plugs, spark plug leads. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      Car Service and Car Tune Up?

      I think this is normal, auto choke engaged when starting and comes off after the engine warms up. Giving gas resets the choke. Herb

      Hilux Workmate 2x4 bulbar installation...

      I've got a few questions regarding the installation of a bull bar on my 2006 Toyota workmate Hilux 2x4. First off, the bulbar I am looking at will weigh around 30kg and I was wondering if would need to try and get some heavier duty shock absorbers and springs to compensate for the extra weight. Keep in mind that this little 2x4 gets a run for its money and is put mainly through the scrub, basic 4wd tracks, and corrugation. Secondly, The bull bar I have purchased is for a KUN 2005-2012 Hilux body shape, which from brief research will fit. A bit of confirmation would be lovely in terms of will it actually fit properly. Any help and or insight would be lovely.

      Check the spark plugs. Also consider cleaning the throttle body and idle air control [IAC] valve. Search YouTube for the relevant videos for your vehicle on how to do this.
