Intermittent Starting issues with 2007 Toyota Camry LE (4 Cylinder, 2.4 Liter Engine)
I have intermittent start up problem with my 2007 Toyota Camry LE (2.4 Liter
4 Cylinder Engine). If I drive the car for long time, and happened to turn off
the car and then immediately attempt to start the car, it seems the problem
with start up happens more frequently. I would then let open the hood and
let the car maybe cool down for 10-15 mins and then typically it would start.
This happened more often in warmer summer weather but also happened
recently when weather was in 50s. So far I've recently changed spark plugs
(all 4) and starter. Previously in the last 2 years, I've changed both oxygen
sensors and catalytic converter. About 3 years ago, the entire engine
needed to be rebuilt due to issues with 2007 Toyota Camry burning more
motor oil, although Toyota to this day claims this is normal (find it really hard
to believe) eventhough there's recall out there for this.
Is it possible the issue could be something in the fuel line such as fuel
pump, fuel pump relay or fuel filer? I was thinking of taking the car to Toyota
dealership and pay them to run the diagnostics, however I'm not familiar
enough to know if the issue is not occurring at that time, their diagnostics
system will be able to determine the root cause of this issue.
