Post subject: Engine stalling immediately after starting, only when warm
|
|
|
My 2000 Toyota Camry keeps stalling immediately after I start it. The weird part is that it doesn't always happen. It only happens after the car has previously been running (warm, not hot). If it's been sitting several hours it fires right up and runs just fine.
For example:
1) I start car, drive, no problems.
2) I stop at the store for 20-30 minutes.
3) I start the car and it stalls almost as soon as it starts.
To keep it running, I need to step on the brake while giving the car gas and then slip it from park into gear. Once I get it going, it seems OK. No stalling at stop lights, etc.
I read something about a bad DME relay causing similar problems. http://www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/fuel-05.htm
Any idea what a reasonable cost is for the purchase and installation of a DME relay?
Any ideas about what else the problem could be? |

Having to give it gas is a hint. Sounds like the idle air control valve
is sticking. Can be cleaned relatively easily. It might not stall but
you'll have lower than normal RPM usually.
Do a search on Camry IAC cleaning.

Let me suggest that you do your own research on the subject. You see, the people on this forum either don't know anything about Toyota's or cars in general or they are too busy trying to "out macho" the next guy.
Either way, you've wasted your time coming to this place. So I'd suggest you cut your losses and move on to a place where there are people who actually know something about cars and care more about cars than "one-upping" the next guy. >> Stay informed about: Engine stalling immediately after starting, only when warm |
