We have owned my wife's 1990 Toyota Camry 2.0L 4door sedan with stick shift since it was new(you know, the dark gray job--must be a gazillion out there) She has 170K on it and has not abused it. About 12 months ago problems started, lets assume the same that we are currently experiencing. I would best describe it as that of a malfunctioning automatic choke on earlier vehicles. Recently returned after a trip where the car had not been driven for 3 days. Instead of a one second fire, it took 15 seconds of ignition time to fire. (My wife had previously (4 hours prior) flooded the engine on her attempt) Subsequently I had to restart at each stop for engine cut-outs about 3 times. It never has failed to ignite (restart) on these occasions. I drove for 15 to 20 mins and as before was able to eliminate the MISS, eventually to the point where I was able to FLOOR the accelerator UPHILL and get an immediate powerful response. After 15 mins this car is great! I am not detailing an isolated incident but issues when this car is cold, even, and often overnight. Six months ago we had new spark plug wires, plugs and rotor and we assume this accounts for the firepower we get when warm. (fuel filter as well) but we have never eliminated the original problem, accentuated in winter. The mechanics that did the work (satifactory) did admit to (eventually) not having computer diagnostics so the question is will computer adjustment solve the problem or is there a part (ignition coil?) that is faulty? Although I ,at 69 am definitely not a do-it-yourselfer I see where help has been offered in other situations. I thank you for any help. Sincerely, Brian Peck.

Has anyone run into this problem? I have a newly purchased 89 dodge Raider that shakes the steering wheel bad at about 45-50 MPH. It smoothes out at above that with only a minor vibration. I checked the tires and wheels and they seem ok (no bubbles or bends). The Raider has about 190K on it. Thanks Dan
