Toyota Camry cutting out
Mark Broomfield
I hava a 1989 Camry 2.0, built in Japan. Normally it runs
faultlessly, but sometimes in damp or rainy weather the engine
hesitates, and occasionally cuts out when driving off from rest.
My Toyota dealer has not been able to find the problem, the last time
I was told that it was due to faulty spark plugs!
Any ideas?

If a 2SE engine, you problem is probably faulty ignition pickup coil
in the base of your distributor.

Replace the ignition coil, do check the plug wires too, common on damp
days

Thanks for all replies. I cleaned the coil (hidden inside the
distributer), this seemed to cure the fault.
I suspect that this is a design problem, the coil must get covered in
fine carbon dust which when damp acts as a conductor.

I might add to all you folks that this does not just happen on hidden coils
but all ignition coils if the top has crap on it wont insulate properly and
electrical arcing is destructive. Easily cleaned
