1996 Toyota Camry stops when driving

Asked by Peter Jan 20, 2022 at 09:09 PM about the 1996 Toyota Camry DX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1996 Toyota Camry 2.2 automatic, 200,000 klms, New head fitted 6 months
ago, Ran fine for about 4 months. Then just started stopping when driving, It
would start straight away and it would be fine for a few days, It got
progressively worse in the amount of times it would stop. And also when it
stopped, It wouldnt start straight away, But if you lft it a bit, It would start. In
the end when it would stop, If you tried to start it straight away, It wouldnt
start, But if you left it a couple of minutes, it would start, But would stop near
straight away. I found the longer I left it sit after it stopped, The longer it
would run for. Have had the fuel pump replaced. One mechanic said when it
stopped, It lost spark to the spark plugs.

Sounds like you need a technician to find the problem , mice can invade even a daily driver and chew on wires

Classic ignition module thermal failure. The problem is the module cost is almost the same as a complete distributor. Check with your parts store on the best way to go. Personally I would go with a complete assembly cause then you have a warranty.
