Kris Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have a 92 camry with 165,000 miles, it has a 4 cylinder. The car drives great usually no probs at all usually, its just sometimes when I am stopped at a red light and try to accelerate it bogs down, not wanting to accelerate. The best way to describe it, is it is like trying to take on a motorcycle while in 5th gear. It only lasts maybe 4 seconds then its over. But It has almost got me ran over a couple of times when I was trying to merge on the interstate not wanting to get up and go. Any suggestions on what it could be. I was told it may be a fuel related prob, but I don't have any car experience so I am clueless. Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

stevelaw Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 When's the last time you had a tune up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljmpoon Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I had the same problem on my 91 camry. Turns out my catalytic converter was clogged and this was followed a few days later by a broken timing belt. I suggest check both the cat and the timing. Hope this helps.
