restore my camry's performance
Hi All,
I have a 96 high mileage toyota camry (4 cyclinders). I got it from my relative when he moved back to east coast one year ago. He was the original owner and the condition is good. But I found it is not powerful enough to accelerate quickly. I think it may need some tune up to resotre its performance. And also I am planing to add a trail hitch to it for occasional towing jobs. What's kinds of tune up I can do by myself to restore its power? Change spark and ...? thanks, |

Re: restore my camry's performance
Spark plugs
cap rotor wires fuel filter oil and filter That's about it. They're pretty bulletproof up through several hundred thousand miles. I doubt you're down on power more than about 4-5 hp unless those parts are in really bad shape. I guess what I'm saying is; they're wimpy, don't expect miracles from spark plugs.

Nothing wrong with giving it a tickle up, might find it makes it a bit smoother to drive, and it will certainly help it last longer. Just don't expect any improvements in performance ![]()
