Camry :: Door Relock Within A Minute When Unlocks With Key Fob Transmitter

I've been living with my '03 Camry for a few weeks now, and noticed an odd 'feature'. When I unlock the doors via the key fob transmitter, the doors will re-lock within a minute unless I open a door.

I assume this is a built in feature designed to stop people from accidentally unlocking their doors with the transmitter in their pocket, but it's really annoying! So first off, is this a feature, or something wrong? And secondly, is there a way to disable this behavior?

Toyota - Camry - Batteries :: 1996 - Won't Start Easily - Makes Noise When Trying To Start

I have a 1996 Toyota Camry with 200k miles on it. It has been giving me trouble starting for a while and I was advised to replace my battery during my last oil change. The problem is when I try to start it does not start for a while. It makes a noise and tiisssssss and stop. tissssss and stop. But then third or fourth try, it works. I installed a new battery and I am still having the same problem. One cold day, it never started no matter how many times I tried. My roommate who is an aerospace engineering PhD candidate came out of the apartment with a teapot full of how water and poured it onto the terminals. For record, terminals are clean. When he did that, it worked.

What is wrong with car?

Camry :: 94 Start And Run Great / Shut Off Then Won't Start Till Cooled Off

Now you can start the car get it warm, shut the car off and wont start back. Turns over but no noise when you turn the key. What it is causing this? Is there something i missed when i did the head on it?

I have 91 camry that when you go to start it, it turns over then makes a chugging/choking sound and wont start. battery is good bc the radio/lights/etc come on, and i can put everything into gear.

Camry :: Cranks But Won't Start

I bought a 2002 Camry with a burnt engine one it for a project. I put a 2005 Camry engine on it, and changed ecm, ignition switch, dash harness and the harness that goes from the ecm down to the rest of the engine parts( transmission and sensors and such) all from a 2005 model. But I didn't change the other wiring that goes along the fire wall. We first tried to start the car I wont start at all. No even crank.

Checked spark = good
Checked fuel pressure = no fuel pressure.

But when I use the ecm from the 2002 I have fuel but not spark. So I open the the fuel relay and manually closed it, then the car starts and runs but zero throttle. My question is: do I have to take it to toyota to get it reprogrammed or there there is something else I can do before that.

Camry :: No Start After V6 Warms Up

We've been having intermittent issues with no start after car warms up. No codes have been thrown, newer plugs. Car runs fine once it starts no misses or hesitations. I haven't found any good sources for schematics of fuel sys or ignition in order to begin to diagnose the problem. Issue isn't present on cold start or after car has set a few hours (at least not yet). Cranks strong. Once when I drove the car and got stuck I was able to give it a shot of starting fluid after the air box and got it to fire off. which leads me to think it's fuel related. I haven't had the tools to check spark the last time I got stuck. My wife typically drives it as my commute doesn't replicate the problem.

Camry :: 2006 - Won't Start Up?

Radio works, lights work, hi-beam flashes strong.Is the starter? Starter looks like a fairly easy replacement. Take off the two bolts and the starter wiring.

Camry :: 94 V6 - Idling Rough Now Won't Start

My car is a 94 camry, but has a 96 1MZ-FE engine from a avalon. Bought used and has been a great car for ~3 years. Just hear last couple weeks, it would start running and idling rough for a few minutes at a time. The last time I drove it home, it completly stopped on me on the side of the road. It finially started to make it home and now have in the garage. Now it will crank, but won't start. After you crank it, shut iginition switch off, then back to start position, you get a pop out the exaust pipe. From these forums and my haynes manual, I've checked the camshaft sensor, it appears ok (1.1k ohms), crankshaft sensor (2.0 k ohms), 3 of my coil packs, front side (1.4 ohms) manual says .5 to .85 ohms, so i'm not sure about this, the mass air flow meter (2.9k ohms), and it has the 5 volts to it, coolant temp sensor (2.3k ohms), replaced this last year. I haven't checked fuel pressure, since I have to go rent a tester.

Once my car is warm and say I go to the store to grab some stuff and go and start it it'll start but it'll turn off the RPMs hit 1.5k then the car drops. Like it chokes. But then I go to start it again and it starts up with no problem. This happens 50% of the time after the car is warm and I go and start it. What could it be?

Camry :: Did Not Start After 15 Minutes From Turning Off

So yesterday car did not start after 15 min from turning off .... Waited about 45 min. And it started(during the time it would not start i checked battery and its connections checked its voltage which was at 12.8 volts ... I had power in the car.

My headlights were as bright as ever and did not dim or flicker as i tried to turn on the car.. Did not start in those 45 min. to about 1 hour. Today happened again twice.

I banged on the starter both times and it worked like a charm both times ...... So I am thinking its gotta be the starter ... I run to autozone and ask them to test my starter and they said that it was good....

Camry :: 2006 Car Won't Start Unless It Gets Jumped

Got a 2006 camry. Car wouldn't start so I jumped it and it ran fine for a run or even 2 starts on its own. Now it won't start at all unless it gets jumped but the weird thing is that the lights work fine but when I try to start it nothing happens.. No noise, no nothing. Is it perhaps an alternator issue? Or maybe just needs a new battery?

Camry 2012+ :: XLE Will Not Start - Key Is Not Detected

I have been having a problem where my 2012 XLE will not start. I can get into the car. I can press the start button and all the dash lights will turn on but yet it will not let me press on brake to start the car. It is almost like the theft deterrent system will not turn off. It is not happening all the time but has happened quite a few times.

This last time it happened, it was far from home on vacation late at night. In the end I am still not sure how I was finally able to get the car to start. Also, another thing that has happened is that I will be DRIVING down the road and it will say the key is not detected.

I have taken it to Toyota service center and they cannot find the issue. They say the only way they would be able to find the issue is if they can duplicate it.

Camry :: 2004 Click Once And Won't Start Sometimes

I have an 04 Camry with a one year old battery. Twice now, about 6 weeks apart, when I tried to start it in the morning, it clicks once and that is all. I popped the hood, jiggled each battery cable (they're not loose, but I still jiggled the post area) and then it starts. The presets on the radio are gone, as if the battery were dead. Also...a couple of days before it happens, the idle is very rough, almost as if it's going to stall. But after an "episode" the idle is back to about 750 rpm and very smooth.

Camry :: Car Dies After Cold Start

My 2.4l camry 2002 dies right after start. This usually happens with cold starts. I checked multiple threads with similar problems and I have narrowed down the possible culprits. My working theory now is that the TPS or throttle body may be bad.

1. Is the throttle body fully closed at rest? Mine opens a bit.

2. With ignition at ON (engine not started) my TPS reads 17.6 on my Actron scanner. Is this figure OK?

OTHER THEORIES : The only code I ever got is p1656: OCV circuit malfunction. A technician checked and said it was caused by a poor grounding. That code has not returned since then (a few days back).

However, I'd still place OCV on the list:

1. Bad OCV/circuit/ECM (shudder!)

2. Leak in air throttle after MAF (VSV for EVAP stuck open?)

3. Bad A/F sensor

Camry :: 2003 V6 Not Even Attempting To Start

My wife has a 2003 v6 Camry. Two weeks ago her car quit starting. The lights all worked, but the starter wouldn't even click. I tried jumping and cleaning the terminals to no avail, so we took it to a shop.

The mechanic said the battery was completely "dry." He installed a new battery, and the car has worked fine for the past two weeks. Now, she is having the exact same issues.

Update : the mechanic said it was a bad battery, so he replaced it. The same thing happened, and we had it towed back to him. He then said it was the starter, so he replaced that, and the car just died again today.
