Hello,
I've got a 1996 camry, which lately has begun to stall maybe twice a month, but always AFTER driving several miles, and ONLY when I'm stopped at a stop-sign, making a left turn, etc. In the past this would happen after a 40-70 mile trip, but it actually did this TWICE in one day, on the way home after I went shopping for the Day-After-Thanksgiving sales.
What seems to happen is the engine's RPM varies between 0 and 750 RPM. Shifting into Neutral then tapping the accelerator seems to fix the problem for the time being, but once I was doing a left turn, and the engine quit (and so did the power steering). Good thing I had enough momentum to complete the left turn. (!!)
I did add fuel injector treatment for awhile, but that didn't seem to fix the problem. Replaced the PCV valve, blew out the EGR filter with compressed air, changed the air filter. Looking at replacing the air intake hose down the line - I put some duct tape around the hose where it was cracking.
I'm certain others have had a similar problem, only I'm not sure where to focus my investigation. EGR valve? Ignition system? Air intake hose?
Also, I seem to get a "burning rubber" smell coming from under the hood after driving awhile. Any ideas what this could be? I did have the valve cover gasket replaced at Pep Boys a few months ago. Mike
