I've been seeing a few postings about the Camry stalling after coming to a
stop and while I'm having a similar problem I don't know if I'm having the
all of the exact same symptoms. Mine sound more electrical in nature.
I have a 92 Camry with 168,000 miles.
For a few weeks (I drive 1 - 2 times a week) I noticed that sometimes I would
start the car and the alarm system would go off. Then yesterday after
driving for about 2 hours on the highway (including a couple of stops at rest
areas) I pulled off the highway and as I approached a stop light the car
started to stall so I quickly put it in neutral and reved up the engine. I
drove through the light and when I slowed down to turn a quarter mile away
the car stalled out. I put it into neutral to try to start the car but it
wouldn't turn. I tried to turn on the emergency flasher but it wouldn't come
on. I coasted to a stop and put the car into park and I was able to start
the car immediately. I think it stalled once more while sitting there as I
turned on the lights, wipers, etc. Eventually, I drove a bit more and parked
it while I went into the store. It started up fine afterwards and then I
drove for another 2 hours on the highway with no problems.
The next morning it started up fine. I let it idle while I spent about 15
mins brushing off the snow. I got back in and as soon as I turned on the
headlights it stalled out. I turned everything off and then tried to start
but the car would not even turn over and it seems that there was no
electrical at all. I let it sit for a few mins and then it started up just
fine but seem to want to stall out at idle. I drove it down the block
without the lights on and let it idle with no problems. I even turned the
lights on with no problem. I parked the car and is now trying to decide
where to bring the car.
Any suggestions??
