Help by TheNewAgeFarmer(m): 9:00pm On Feb 19, 2020 |
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. |

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. |
