Yes. Update - Automasters did NOT have a diagnostic code for us as they did not have a computer to diagnose a car of this age ??? Anyway, after negotiation we paid $120 instead of $240 for their services and towed the car back to our own mechanic who immediately suggested it was the fuel pump. He replaced the fuel pump and this beautiful car is back on the road.

Sure. I wouldn't expect them to fault find for free BUT they haven't found the fault. And I'm not going to have an open cheque book for them to keep on trying to find the fault. Camry's of that age are not THAT complicated.

Thanks for all your help guys. If I could get the codes checked that would be great but our can is being held to ransom at the moment. A dispute with the mechanic and us. We don't feel it is just to charge someone when you've achieved absolutely nothing. So I will keep you posted when I can find out more. Sorry.

The mechanic eliminated the immobiliser. I will also ask her if she could hear the fuel pump. You can certainly smell the fuel. I will have to ask my daughter re the next question. I'm not sure if it can be started without the key being turned to the off position. I presume she has tried everything. It starts, then stops.

We have a 1992 Camry manual sedan. Beautiful car and well maintained. Just the other day she konked out. I can start her but then she just dies again. We have had 2 mechanics work on her, both saying it's the airflow mixture. We got a replacement air box and air meter and it's now fitted but the car is doing exactly the same thing. Does anyone have any other ideas what it may be. We've eliminated the immobiliser so we are wondering maybe fuel pump? This is a total mystery and it happened without warning. Can anyone help?
