My fuse keeps blowing
I have a 1990 Toyota Camry, the first thing I noticed go wrong was the dome light went out, i checked the bulb and it was fine. A week or so later I noticed that the fan in my heat/air conditioner unit would only work on high. Later I noticed my break lights did not work, but my tail lights still did. I checked my fuse box and noticed that by ... Read More

Re: 1990 Toyota Camry 4cyl [rm29n4]
There is no PCV valve on that car. There is a hose that goes from the crankcase to the throttle body near where the flex air intake hose attaches to the throttle body. This hose looks like a large vacuum hose and needs to be checked once in a while for blockage. Because of this system the butterfly valve will tend to carbon up and cause a sticking throttle when you ... Read More

Re: 2007 camry vvt hose-tsb or recall? [helpman230]
It sounds like you believe that the company which offers the longest warranty has the best deal for the consumer. But GM's 100,000 mile warranty expires in 5 years; and the average car in the U.S. is driven 12,000 miles a year. This means that most GM warranties will expire when the car has only 60,000 miles on it. For that reason; GM's warranty is not as good as Chrysler's, Hyundai's, ... Read More

You can find cheaper prices and sometimes you get lucky and find a new part. A sensor should be easy to remove, (search blog 1990 Q-45, a trip to the junkyard).

Re: Preventive maintenance [alay9]
The Camry 4-cylinder engine, at least from 1997-2001 (and probably 1992-1996) is a non-interference design, so if the timing belt breaks, the pistons and valves don't collide. There will be no engine damage, but of course the engine will quit on the spot. I had the timing belt break prematurely on my 1980 Volvo 240. It also had a non-interference engine, so no damage was done. Still, it was a major ... Read More

Re: 2005 Solara SE Sport 4cyl Auto Problems? [curlyq]
I have a 2005 SE Camry 4cyl Auto. No hesitation problems at all. No left pull either. Car has 16" wheels with Disk all around and I have notice on slight hills with the cruise on say 70 the car likes to down shift into 4th (5 sp auto trans) and sometime 3rd to hold the speed. Seems a bit agressive. Car has a tight holding for speed and doesn't like ... Read More

Camry styling
Until recently I always thought that the Accord was a nicer looking vehicle than the Camry. My 1986 Camry was a box compared to others in the category. However, the one thing the Camry always had was a classy look (not to be confused with good looking) and feel (except for model years 1997-2001). The current Camry model seems (in my humble opinion) to be the best looking Toyota has produced. ... Read More

Re: [307web]
Actually, the only Lexus that had the floating effect due to markings being projected onto the dashboard was the 1990-1992 LS400. All Lexus since then have merely been lighted from behind with either LED lights or neon tubes for needles. So the Toyota Camry's 2005 dash is basically the same as on Lexus, except in design.

A question before buying a 1990 Camry
Hi, I just had a question about buying a '90 Camry. I recently checked it got a recall before. The owner seems not knowing this. If the owner goes to ask Toyota to correct this problem, would that be fine with Toyota? Since it's been a long time. Will that make extra fees on it? It is an issue of the DOOR ASSEMBLY:LATCHES AND LOCKS. Anyone who owns '90 Camry please ... Read More

2003sev6, andrelaplume
2003SEV6, Nice post. I have a relative that owns a 1984 Toyota Supra that he purchased used back in 1990. Would you believe he has over 750,000 miles on the odometer. Yes the engine knocks, the body is rotten nearly all over, (he lives in upstate New York). In his area they spread salt on the roads like it was for free. He has never had an accident due to poor ...

To andrelaplume:
Firstly, I know first hand about those quick lube places when I pulled out of one a few years back in my 1990 Sentra. I got not even a block away when my engine light came on. That's right, they got my oil change done in record time but forgot one miner detail, the #@##$$#@@ oil. Anyways, all of the Toyota dealers in my area have Express Lube where I can ... Read More

they are much heavier now, believe me
50% more weight now is not as unrealistic as you think. Of course it depends on your age, and what you consider "a few years" back. Hondas and Toyotas may not have gained as much as some other brands. 1992 GTI 2346 lbs 1997 GTI 2564 lbs + 9% 2002 GTI (2.8lVR6) 3011 lbs +28% 2003 Golf R32 (3.2lVR6) ~3420 lbs +46% There are numerous more examples, just go to Edmunds' ...

1990 camry radio schematic
Anyone out there have a electrical manual on a 1990 toyota camry. I am trying to install a new radio on the car but the snap in adaptor is missing. Looks like when they took the old radio instead of unhooking the adaptor they cut it right straight thru the wires. Now what I have is a bundle of wires not knowing where it goes. Where is a good manual to ... Read More

The ECU isn't the ignition module. The ignition module is a separate item. Actually since Toyota did away from distributors (where it had one central coil, or ignition module), Toyota uses a coil on plug design, which elimates the distributor. The ECU controls the coil. The ECU is the main central computer, it controls and monitors various sensors within the engine and to some degree, the transmission. There may be a ... Read More

Saturn L300?
I found Saturn L300 to be one of the most under-appreciated mid-size sedan models around. Agreed, it may not match the reliability of Accords/Camry. Recently, I was in the market for a mid-size sedan (owned an Accord), and did my own research and included Saturn L-series for consideration along with Accord/Camry/Altima and ultimately ended up purchasing one. Saturn's plus points: 1) Saturn is the newest divison of GM, started selling Cars ... Read More

62K org miles and overdrive is shot
Yes, 62k orginal miles. Now my overdrive works about 60 to 70 % of the time. Its a 1990 LE v-6 and I bought it with 52k on it. Needless to say I am very dissapointed with Toyota and now if I had money would rather get a Ford Or Chrysler. The Camry still will get me from here to there but when the overdrive is not working its feels like ... Read More

It is Acura/Lexus then Toyota/Honda in reliability !
ALso Camry is #1 because it sells more cars to fleet/rental companies ! Except for 99, Accord has been the best selling car to direct consumers in every year from 1990-2000 ! For 2001 it is best selling despite camry's rental sales !

1991 Camry Sputtering
I've got a 1990 Camry which now has over 150k and had engine hesitation when I used BP fuel...spoke to dealer who said Toyota's are rice burners and the 4 cylinders need low octane fuel w/o excessive additives...I use Shell 87 Octane and have not had any other problems. I would try a change in fuel before any other fix...its the most cost effective potential solution that YOU can do.

Why do you say there are only two alternatives to the 2002 Camry if you can't somach the price -- the Avalon and ES 300? Both those cars cost MORE money. If someone can't stomach the price they would want something LESS expensive. Also, your statements are just your opinions. I was with my friend when he bought a new Accord coupe two years ago. I thought the interior materials were ... Read More

RE: ajacat - Avalon

You say that the cars 'have gone down in general' yet Toyota Camry has been the best selling car in North America for 4 straight years. ... Read More

You have gotten the prices thing down to a science! Unfortunately you only bothered to check one source. Which obviously seems to have the largest price spread. I would urge you to check an even more reputable source, say......KELLY's BLUE BOOK, you would probably find that source more accurate, since that is what, *ahem*; we dealers use. They list price ranges for each car. And since I don't like to pay ... Read More

The problem was with some early 1990 V6's. Toyota extended the warranty and notified all owners of the free replacement. The affected engine was mostly for the trucks, I didn't think the Camry V6 used the same engine. But for anyone who is interested, this is a pretty detailed article about the early 90 V6 headgasket warranty experience, through the eyes of a Toyota truck owner. http://home.off-road.com/~kemanuel/V6-HG.htm

Re: Need Advice About a 1990 Camry LE Wagon
I have three pieces of advice concerning the car your looking at buying: First, the price is extremely high. According to Edmunds TMV, the dealer is asking a couple of thousand dollars more than the car is worth. I don't know all the features and condition of the particular Camry you're looking at, so I cannot give you an accurate price estimate. I recommend pricing the car through Edmunds used TMV ...

Hehehe, :) I don't think Toyota wants to buy GM. Ok, so Toyota has over $20 billion laying around in highly liquid funds, but there is a historical reason for that. In the beginning of in 1950's, Toyota was just a little nobody in the bombed out post war Japan. Sold a grand total of 250 cars (no joke) for the first post war car model, the SA.

My experiences
My wife has a 98 XLE V-6 Camry we bought used for the purpose of a nice "luxury" car we can drive forever. The car is good, but I had an irritating warranty experience with front strut bushings(top I think). The dealer wouldn't replace even though there's a TSB out, said he couldn't hear, I told him when weather got colder they could, sure enough I took it in after warranty(40,000) ... Read More

I'm a college student that's graduating soon so I'll be purchasing a car in the next 6mo. to a year. In the meantime, however, I drive hand-me-down Toyota Camry's from my parents. The one that's "mine" is a 1990 Camry 4cyl 5-spd with over 200k miles on it. We've hardly had any problems with it and it's been a great car, and because of this I'd consider buying one myself.

The Honda has 158,000 miles on it and the Camry has 67,000 miles. In my experience the Honda is the better car for longevity and the Camry is better for the ride and ... Read More
