what does power button do, technically...
ok, the power button makes my camry more powerful.... but does that mean a faster acceleration or what, and, if you could, how does the power button affect the engine and what not in technical terms, does it use more gas to have it on all the time?

Re: what does power button do, technically...
I use mine for city driving. It gives a bit more oomph off the line. Mines only a I4 so it needs that extra get up and go. The dealership I got my camry from said it delayed the shift on the automatic

Re: what does power button do, technically...
The ECT button delays the upshifts on the transmission to provide better acceleration when you are in normal traffic. It will cost you some gas mileage.
As far as the effect on the engine goes, it has very little or no effect. Just allows the engine to rev higher before the transmission shifts.

Re: what does power button do, technically...
Power button? I'm confused...the O/D button on the shifter?

No, not the overdrive button on the shifter. Both my former 87 and 92 Camrys had a transmission power button located on the shifter gate. Merely had to push the button to go to either POWER or NORMAL. My new 03 doesn't have this feature and I miss it.

Re: what does power button do, technically...
Well that sucks, I don't have one on my '99.
 That really sucks, makes me want to go and get a older model Camry just to say that I've got me one of those cool power buttons too.

Re: what does power button do, technically...
Your wife's got one of those tire burning beasts of a Camry don't she?
Really, what's hers like though? Is it all stock, or what? Have you got it all set up to where a push of a button will turn it from a granny grocery getter to a flame throwing street demon in a second flat? <--got to get me one of those...

Re: what does power button do, technically...
1993 Camry LE V6, normally, with the power button off, it has pretty good acceleration, but with it on, it makes it be able to do more than unneccessarily fast accel. on green lights.
