    Camry shuts off
    I have a 1995 Toyota Camry. The car shuts off when put into drive. I have changed the fuel filter and cleaned the throttle body. What could be the problem?

    Thoughts:

    . Check for codes.

    . Go over the ignition system. If you have not replaced the coil and Ignition Control Module (ICM) in the last 125,000 milles or 10 years, I would replace them. Change the platinum spark plugs (NGK only), if they have more than 50,000 miles on them.

    . Check each cylinder's compression.

    . Check the Neutral Safety Switch's alignment and operation. Neutral safety switches send a signal to the ECM to allow the engine to start and to engage the transmission.
