Ed L Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 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?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidgits Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 sounds like an alternator fault to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelaw Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Have you cleaned the battery terminals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
