making me mad!
My 1992 toyota camry started to mess up. When I come to a stop sign and stop it sounds like it is about to die. So far I thought it could be not having enough oil or a loose cable to the battery but it wasnt. Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be?
Another question I have is my car when I step on the gas it takes forever for it to get up to speed. What I'm asking is what do I need to fix so that the acceleration will be better? |

Re: making me mad!
It sounds like some kind of engine fuel or ignition management problem. Definitely computer, fuel, or ignition related. Some sensor is probably giving the computer false information and its messing up the fuel or ignition.
Hopefully you have a check engine light? If so you can have the codes checked for free at a major auto parts store and that might help narrow down the issue.

Re: making me mad!
well it definately wouldn't be battery because once the care is running you can run off the alternator, even if you disconnect the battery the car will stay on
