As it was then being driven out of an alley, the engine suddenly spontaneously boosted to 1200 rpm, nearly causing a collision. At 49180 miles, the car would (as usual) not start unless the accelerator was pressed for 1 min. At 47000 miles the same problems resumed. At 35394 miles the idle air control valve was replaced for a 2nd time. The situation seemed to improve, until 34800 miles, when the same problems with it not starting and being very weak resumed. That was when the idle air control valve was first replaced. This has been going on since the odometer read 16603 miles.
Then there is the fact that about 95% of the time, the car will not start without the accelerator being depressed and held for 1 min, and even then the engine always sounds weak and only reaches about 500 rpm until pressing on the accelerator again. At only about 10000 miles, the air flow ratio sensor and manifold had to be replaced.
The factory-installed cd/cassette/radio system has been replaced three times, and now the cd player part yet again does not work at all. Despite being regularly maintained, very well taken care of, not abused, and less than average use (average 6700 mi/yr), this Toyota Camry (purchased new from a Toyota dealership in torrance, California) has never worked properly for long.
