Vehicle Details

This Camry has been a great car for our family over many decades. Unfortunately, it now needs a rebuilt engine. Starting about two months ago, the Camry began having white fuel smelling smoke coming from the exhaust. The car also started having issues stalling, accelerating, and a major drop in fuel economy. I replaced all 6 fuel injectors, spark plugs and spark plug wires. With no change in the vehicle’s drivability, I took the Camry to my mechanic.

My mechanic completed a thorough diagnosis and came up with this conclusion:

Cylinder one exhaust value is either cracked, broken internally, or not closing all the way for some reason. This would explain why there’s so much raw fuel getting past- causing issues with fuel economy, stalling out and drivability issues.

Camry does start and drive but has issues driving that include the following:

Poor acceleration

Loss in fuel economy

Sometimes stalls out while idling

White smoke (that smells like raw fuel) coming from exhaust

I’ve owned this car and have meticulous maintenance records on everything done on this car dating back to the late 1990s. In the last 3 years, some of that includes but is not limited to:

CLEAN Title

Rebuilt Transmission

New radiator

New inner toe rods with alignment

New spark plugs, wires and distributor cap

New fuel injectors

New timing belt and water pump

New brake pad/rotors

New Battery

Continental all-season tires with some tread still left.

Oil changes done every 3,000 miles

Working AC, heater, cruise-control, radio, and sunroof.

Here’s a list of some work that needed to be done to the Camry besides the engine:

Check engine light for knock sensors (this light has been on for around 10 years).

Fuel gage is slightly off

Has some engine oil leaks

Steering wheel is not straight, I believe it’s from a bad rack/Pinon but it has passed alignments and has showed no irregular tire wear.

Rear driver side window regulator motor does not work.

Included in your purchase of this Camry, you’ll get the following:

Haynes repair Manuel on Camry

Complete maintenance repair records dating back over 20 years

New distributor

Mass airflow sensor from junkyard

New value cover gaskets

New OEM Toyota knock sensor wiring harness

Miscellaneous vacuum hoses pulled off junkyard cars.

This car has been a part of our family for a long time and has served us well. It’s sad to have to sell it, but it’s not financially worth putting the money/time into a rebuilt engine.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Justin
