We replaced the fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributer cap and rotor. The car definitely ran better after that, but began hesitating occasionally, sometimes stalling or nearly stalling at idle. It ran good at high speeds, seemed to have lots of power. Going on some advise from other posts, we sprayed the throttle body thoroughly with carb cleaner (about 1 full can), and it seemed to help with the hesitation on acceleration and rough idle. My son felt confident enough to drive the car home, and said that he was going to try another can of carb cleaner and see if the problem clears up. Thats all for now. I would appreciate any further advise, and thanks for the feedback.

We will begin this weekend and let you know the results. Thanks for the help.

We have only had the car less that a year. It had pretty low miles when we bought it but looked as though it hadn't been very well maintained. So I would guess that it could use a tune up.

My son's 94 Camry (approx. 100000 mi, AT, 4cyl.) was running fine until recently. It starts up fine and idles well in neutral and park, but idles rough when you shift into drive. It then bogs down badly when accelerated, and eventually stalls. The engine runs fine as I said, in park and neutral, and doesn't bog down when accelerated like it does when transmission is engaged. So I was thinking that it may be the fuel filter because he runs it nearly empty all the time. Or maybe it could use a tune up or a fuel pump. I would appreciate any suggestions from those who may have experienced similar problems.
