Good Day. I recently bought a car (used)from this forum, Camry 2001, Auto Transmission, i4. To be honest it’s a big regret. I live in Benin and I had to send a friend, who took a mechanic along to inspect the car. Car was certified okay by the mechanic. But when I came for the car I discovered that whenever I am driving and I apply break it shuts off. I managed it to Benin like that and the next day I took it to the mech for repairs.
Fuel pump was changed, engine sensor, to cut the long story short, I have spent more than 28k trying to fix the issue of break and quench with different mech and electricians. Right now I don’t know who to blame, the seller or the mechanic that inspected the car and certified it okay. Please help is needed urgently on how to fix this issue. Thank you.

Hmmmm, the mech might have been compromised

A scan could have saved you money. I suspect dirty throttle body.

It is a vacuum leak check the black hose from the brake booster/servo.
there are other black hoses that are cracked, damaged or missing .

If you can post several clear pictures of your engine bay, our people will tell you the ones that are missing and the ones to inspect for holes

Thanks all. Problem solved. Throttle body was replaced and car drives fine. No more break and quench.

Good
