#88 of 95 93 camry died on the road by bchen357 Jun 27, 2009 (6:15 pm)
new to this forum and to car (in general). a month ago bought a second-hand camry ('93). it ran fine, but today right at the intersection when the light switched to green, the engine shut itself off. i tried to turn the key and restart the engine - there was NO sound. as if the engine was dead. it so happened there was a pep boys next to the road so i pushed the car there. i had a battery changed (old one was 4 y/o). it seemed everything worked fine now - EXCEPT , right at pep boys, i started the engine and was trying to back out the car after they installed the new battery, once i shifted the gear to R, the engine died right then. i was able to start the engine after shift the gear back to P, and this time the engine did not die when i moved to R to back up. Any idea why the engine died suddenly at the traffic light and why it died the second time after i got a new battery (when i shifted it to P) thanks a lot   Replies to this message: kajote (Jun 27, 2009 6:32 pm) alex24 (Jun 29, 2009 6:40 pm)

Replying to: bchen357 (Jun 27, 2009 6:15 pm) i would definately check the alternator along with the connections and voltage regulator..most places will check the alternator for free Replies to this message: alex24 (Jun 29, 2009 6:40 pm)

Replying to: kajote (Jun 27, 2009 6:32 pm) If your alternator is bad , then your engine is running off your battery, and as soon as your battery runs out of power your engine will cut out again, 93 Camrys have problems with the Distributor unit shorting out, some distributors short out after getting to a hotter tempature. and engine cuts out, and some short out causing the RPM to keep flickering unsteady, but from what you said, its does sound like your alternator/voltage regulator has a problem, or your wire connections are not making good contact.
#91 of 95 Toyota Camry Brake lights do not work, even after replacing the bulbs and f by ngay1703 Jun 29, 2009 (11:54 pm)
I have a 1989 Toyota Camry and my brake lights do not work. I checked the fuses ( all of them! under hood and inside driver panel) also replaced all the bulbs with new. I still have no brake lights and the dash light indicator continuously shows a little car with the back light problem. What can I do? I would like to know if there is a stop switch attached to the brake pedal and if so how do I check it and/or replace if it is bad. Can I get a diagram and directions on this part...I think it is called an actuator switch? Also, if anyone has any other useful information as to what may be the culprit please let me know. Possible a relay or a link? -----signature----- Implantnha khoa Where will we go after dead? Replies to this message: kiawah (Jun 30, 2009 3:46 am) twmp88 (Nov 07, 2009 11:18 pm)

Yes, there is also a stop switch on the brake pedal, but verify that you have power to the circuitry first.   Let me know what you find when you check those fuses.

Replying to: ngay1703 (Jun 29, 2009 11:54 pm) the back-up wire was cut off in the rear trunk under the lid on the left side, i guess.
#95 of 95 starting issue with 2002 toyota camry by tywi Nov 29, 2009 (4:21 pm)
I stopped my car and shut the engine off. When I tried to started it I had starting noise everthing was quiet. All the lights were on. After playing with the key in the ignition turning it on and off many times , and put the car in neutral and moving it a little I shut everything off. I put the key back in the ignition and turn the key and the car started. Any ideas I what part may need to be replaced?
