1992 Camry V6 Stalls when the nose is pointed in the air. If stopped at a stop sign pointing up an incline the engine will stall. Especially noticeable when car had front wheels on ramps for an oil change. Would not stay running under 2000 rpm. Runs fine otherwise. Any ideas?

I have read the thread with some interest. Being a Swede, living in this Godforsaken country where the cars are made, I often experience lock problems due to the massive amount of salt used on the skid-roads we have here wintertime. Salt and dirt clogs up the locks effectively. The remedy is in two stages: 1/ Lock cleaner and 2/ Lock lubricant. Now, I have no experience of what WD40 is, over here we have an excellent lock manufacturer named ASSA-Abloy issuing their own sprays to do the job. And it never fails. So my advise is to either get a) something to dissolve the goey stuff clogging your lock and 2) a lubricant that is not sensitive to moist or great temperature variations. However I would advise against using any Mo-sprays. The other alternative is to unmount the lock cylinders and clean them i kerosene, diesel-fuel or equivalent and then lubricate with heavy grease. However, doing this will require yearly makeover I'm afraid.

seems like this would be related to fuel delivery I would pull up the rear seat cushion, unbolt the fuel gauge sending unit, and check for excessive debris - rust - other particles that could be clogging the fuel pickup
