InterCooL Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 hey guys dont know if this is the right sub-forum place to post in but i'd love some idea's if you guys have any i got a problem with my gf's camry. its about a 1997 v6 auto model drove it to the airport fine. parked it, then went to start it 30mins later and the engine aint running right. its giving vibrations through the steering wheel + whole car and idles low. it is quite noticeable as you drive off that, the car will somewhat shudder. it seems to have lost a lot of power, but still ran well enough to leave the airport and get home. i would have thought it is a misfire on a cylinder, however the exhaust note is exactly the same. i guess it still could be a misfire though. i am going to pull out the spark plugs tomorrow and see if a cylinder has shut down. but does anyone else have any ideas? cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/238987-internet-car-diagnosis-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33S2 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 while its running pull one lead off a plug at a time, be carefull to hold the lead well back from the plug, or if it is like the skylines disconnect the wiring from the coil on the plug, you will hear a difference if they are good.

Check the variable intake manifold could be stuck or needs a clean... Hope this helps. Also check for vacuum leaks.
