    Toyota camry 1996 engine shut off while driving
    My 1996 toyota camry's engine shut off on me twice already now while driving. Does any one have any idea what could be wrong. The milage is about 160,000. 2.4 liter engine.

    Hi, texasplayer2006!

    I'm not trying to piggyback on your question, but I couldn't help but notice it, because my 1997 Camry did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Just simply stopped running. Didn't sputter, wasn't out of gas.

    I'll look forward to how someone who has the expertise addresses your question. I had thought about starting a thread about that, but it's ironic that you have the same problem.

    Thanks!

    Very limited info, but if it starts right away, then it's either a bad EGR valve of a coolant temp sensor.
    Ignition problems are a very hard or no restart.

    Clough, chime in with your problem, but remember, the more info you give, the more accurate the diagnosis.
    Service history helps too.

    Would an o2 censor cause the car to die while driving yet start up again?

    Tough one there without seeing it. My only guess at this point is un metered air entering the throttle body.
    This happens when there's a split in the rubber hose coming from the air cleaner box, (that's where your air flow meter is), and to the throttle body.
    When and engine is under load, it torques back and stretches that hose.
    If your motor mounts are torn, it makes matters worse because of more movement and finds an air leak in the torn hose (intake boot).
    Try setting the e-brake, put it in drive and hold the brake with left foot. Now lightly give it gas and see if you can get it to stumble and possibly stall.
    Could be as simple as a dirty fuel filter also. Good luck,

    My 2010 Toyota Camray cut off while I was driving onto the expressway. I was told it was some type of hose. However, it is now starting to act as though it wants to cut off again. Is this a Lemon?

    2010? First thing, check the oil level and coolant level in the coolant tank. Did you just fuel up somewhere? This is strange.
