Toyota 2003 Camry Stalling

Asked by 0706marie Dec 29, 2018 at 06:48 PM about the 2003 Toyota Camry LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2003 Toyota Camry I just bought. One night driving home the motor
completely shut off on the road. Pulled over, and the car started up again
after 3 minutes. Took it to a Lexus place and had a bunch of maintenance
done, including a new battery. Car drove just fine until a couple days ago
when the motor shut off again while I had it stopped at a red light. What
could be the cause of this? (This all happened in the course of two weeks,
never had an issue with it before)

Have it scanned for codes and see what they missed in their diagnosis. The engine doesn't need the battery once it is started and running. Might be an old fuel pump ready to quit. Dealers will charge you a "Diagnostic" fee for a scan but auto parts stores don't. They will explain the codes and go to an independent shop for repairs. Google the codes for more info.
