    Where is the fuel cut off switch in a '94 Toyota Camry?
    I just got in a wreck a few days ago and my car flipped over on its side. We managed to get it back up and drive it home, but now the car wont even start. My friend said it might be the fuel cut off switch but I have no idea where that is. Help?????

    Does your friend have mechanical experience, never heard of a car with a fuel cut off switch. Unless one of you have some serious mechanical experience this is not going to be a DIYer job. This box isn't big enough for me to list all of the things that can go wrong when you roll a car.

    Some cars have mechanical rollover valves on the side of the gas tank or in the frame area and some were in the in the fuel pump which is inside the gas tank. Jeep and Nissan have then. Might check with the dealer.

    No fuel cut off's on any 90's vintage Camry's.
    Late models have them and it's a simple cycle of the key switch.
    I'm with ballenger on this one. It could be a long list of things.
    If you want to hear the pump run, find the diagnostic check connector under the hood, get a paper clip and jump FP and B+.
    Turn the key on and listen for the pump running.

    I know many Fords have or had electric fuel pump cut off switches located inside the trunk. Usually they were located behind the carpet on the left side about 6 to 8 inches off the floor. As far as I know, Toyota doesn't have such a switch. I could be wrong though.

    My Ford Van has an Inertia switch at the passenger side panel, just push to reset.
    If you drove it home after the rollover, I think it may be something else.
    Look for spark and fuel. Likely have compression.
