    95 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinder
    I have a '95 Toyota Camry with a 4 cylinder engine in it. It has an engine light that is on. Also, in the morning, the engine will crank just fine, but it won't start until maybe 10 minutes of trying to start. When you finally start it, it idle's at a low speed. And if you were to touch the gas pedal before it "warms up," it will die. Do you have an idea what the problem might be?

    Go to Autozone or Advanced auto parts. They will check the engine code that tripped the Check Engine light. You need an OBD tester. From there on we may be able to help.

    You can check the codes yourself with a simple piece of wire or paperclip.
    Find the diagnostic connector under the hood. It will have a small rectangular cover. Flip that cover open. Then, simply bend the paperclip to fit between terminals TE1 and E1 terminals.
    Then turn the key to the ON position (without starting the engine), it will start flashing the codes in your instrument panel cluster. You will see mulitple flashes so count the flashes and write down the count.
    Let us know what the count and we'll go from there.
