Toyota Repair: Car Jerking, spark plug wires, toyota camry
QuestionI have a 1986 Toyota Camry with manual transmission. Lately it has been jerking when I take off. It jerks 5 or 6 times then quits. It does this on most times when I start up. Someone said the gas filter needs to be changed. I looked and can't find a gas filter. Where is it?. Another said the egr valve, another said the coil. What do you think?
AnswerIt's an electrical problem, check all the spark plugs and wires and the distributor cap for cracks and yes, there could be a problem with the coil, I would suggest trying a thorough tune up which would include spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor spark plug wires an air filter and fuel filter(it should be located near the air cleaner) I haven't dealt with any early model camrys lately so let me know if you can't find the fuel filter and I'll try looking it up, also try to use Toyota parts and ask the parts guy to show you on the computer where the filter is.
