I have an '89 Camry 3S-FE and it's begun to sputter ever so slightly as of late. I don't notice any real loss of power in acceleration, but it sounds pretty irregular while it's idling.
I asked the guy at the Advance Auto Parts store and he said it could just be plug wires. I replaced the wires (figured it was a good idea anyway, since it has 211,000 miles on it). After putting nice new plug wires on it, it still sputters slighty (though I did notice it ran only slightly smoother).
I noticed when I took the vaccum hose off that the inside of the EFI "thing" (words fail me), the first 3-4 inches of the inside of it are coated in a beautiful oily grime. Could air intake be my real problem and I'm just barking up the wrong tree with the plugs and wires?
I would appreciate greatly any advice anyone could offer.
Thanks! Jason Please reply to the group.
