Problem overview

Some Toyota Camry owners report experiencing engine stalling, particularly at red lights or in heavy traffic. This stalling can be attributed to several common issues, including problems with the fuel system, air intake system, or ignition system. Owners may encounter difficulties due to an improper air/fuel mixture caused by bad sensor readings or vacuum leaks. Additionally, if the fuel injection system is malfunctioning and delivering too much or too little fuel, it can lead to stalling. Some owners also find that a dirty or failing idle air control valve contributes to fluctuating idle and eventual stalling. To effectively resolve these issues, it is recommended that owners seek professional diagnosis to accurately identify the root cause and proceed with necessary repairs or maintenance.
