Problems with a '92 Toyota Camry

#1 (**permalink**) 12-15-2007, 12:51 AM

My car has been having troubles starting recently. I've replaced both
the battery and the starter and the problem persists. The car makes
no sound when I try to start it, and usually will start if I wait five
minutes or so. However, today, after 15 minutes, it still wouldn't
start. Any ideas on what would be causing this?

www.autozone.com has a free online repair guide for the 92, but it's
not working for me at the moment. So you might want to look into that
as well for reference material.

If your car has an automatic transmission, try shifting it into neutral and
see if it starts in neutral or jiggling the sifter while trying to crank the
engine. If it has a manual transmission, make sure you are depressing the
clutch pedal all the way to the floor, with no interference from floor mats
or other items under the clutch pedal.

If you don't get it fixed by the time classes are back in session, I might
be able check it out when I bring my son back to ISU after winter break.
