92 Camry won't start
While driving on the freeway, I heard a loud whistling noise under the hood. On the way home, driving up a hill, the car lagged and it felt is was going to breakdown. I was able to make it home, but now the car won't start. Please help!

Re: 92 Camry won't start
http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...3d8016602a.jsp This is a link to vacuum hose diagrams to show routing. Just have to pick the correct figure. There are also vacuum lines running to the cruise control actuator and the brake booster on the firewall.
When you turn the key does it just click or does the engine rotate but not start? Do you hear any hissing noise then? Which engine do you have?

Re: 92 Camry won't start
Easy way to check whether the timing belt is broken or not is to pull the distributor cap, turn over the engine and have someone note whether the rotor is rotating, if it rotates you still have a timing belt (this gives no indication of its condition just if it is still functional), if it is still your timing belt is broken.

Re: 92 Camry won't start
Even if the timing belt seems to be not broken, it could still be the source of your problem. If the distributor shaft rotates when you turn the engine, check the compression of the cylinders. If the compression is way low on all cylinders, then it has jumped a tooth or more than one tooth and still needs to be replaced. (replace the water pump at the same time).

Make sure your valves are OK. Sam

Re: 92 Camry won't start
Yes, that's a distributor cap. Yes, it's safe. All you have to do is remove the screws that secure it and pull it away just far enough to see the rotor. Tap the key a couple times just enough to see if the rotor moves. No need to turn the key to start and hold it there.
If it's a timing belt issue your engine, which ever engine you have, is not an interference engine. Your valve train should be ok. Go to http://www.gates.com/downloads/downl...older=brochure page 22. No * indicates non-interference engine.
