I have 2002 Camry V SERIES with automatic transmission and 204k miles.

When I run camry in the morning, it runs normal for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, when temperature gauge is at middle, car runs normal in all gears. However, at stop light car hesitates when car has run for 30 min and finally car shuts down. When I restart hot car, check engine light shows and engine kicks but does not start at all. I wait for 4 hours and let it "cool down" and car starts and runs normal. When car is cold all gear works normal. No gear shifting issue or noise. When hot, no gear noise but car become hesitant to start at stop light and stops all together with check engine light.

This car was not used for about 3 months but ran fine. This camry has many replaced parts (new PCV valve, cleaned throttle body, new distributor cap+spark plugs+distrib cables, newer timing belt+oil pump, new radiator, fuel pump, barke, battery). Most parts changes in last year or so and no pproblem until now. Transmission oil level is normal when car running in park on level ground and transmission oil looks norma (no burnt smell and pinkish)

Is it transmission issue or engine/engine control issue?
How do I diagnose the problem and fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help. I am newbie but enthusiastic and will try suggestions.

Thanks,
Ben

Picked up my first Toyota a couple months ago, 1990 Camry with the 4 banger 5 speed. Engine is running good as far as I can tell, theres some noises under the hood, synchros are going out, cv axles clattering away so I've been babying it. I've been wanting a similar year accord(93) but this car has been keeping me entertained so far. Going to get some axles so she dont die on me, I was hoping to let it go until I can swap the motor but I don't think itll make it. Found someone with a 3sge in pieces, says it's all there. With wiring harness, no ecu. I dont know how deep yall get into old models and swaps on this site but that's where I'm at. If anybody knows anyone give me a holler. Thanks.

You may change LED headlight bulbs for your car by yourself. Get a pair of LED bulbs in bargain from eBay or Amazon will cost you about $20 each pair.

Hello everyone, I have the opportunity to be gifted an 07 Prius gen 2 with 144,191 miles. It is in need of a new exhaust, due to the catilitic converter issue, tires, and possibly brakes and rotors. It has it's original battery that reads a 7. Not really sure what that means. This is the information I have. I'd like to hear opinions on weather I should commit.  Thanks all.
