why am i having problems starting my car?

Asked by eajune Jan 02, 2015 at 06:24 PM about the 1995 Toyota Camry DX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

back in may of 2014 my son hooked my battery up wrong. i replaced two fuses, one
15 amp small one n one 50 amp main one. it ran fine for awhile and then the
distributor had to b replaced. it ran fine again and then for the last month it has been
hard to stsrt on its own most of the time i will pop start it since it is manual. the last
few times starting it, it acted like it wasnt fully charged and after a minute it came
back as full charge, it will even flicker the lights while driving down the road at night.
what do u think is the problem.

Was the battery new in May? Or disconnected for some other reason? And is it the V6 3.0L or 2.2L I4?

Test your voltage regulator. If you don't have a volt meter, bring it to Auto zone and have them test it for you.
