Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts before starting the repair.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine off and cool.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs
  • Using a socket wrench, remove the ignition coils by unscrewing the retaining bolts.
  • Carefully pull out the ignition coils and check the spark plugs underneath for wear or deposits.
  • Remove the spark plugs using a spark plug socket and inspect their condition.
  • Replace any worn or damaged spark plugs with new ones, ensuring they are gapped to manufacturer specifications (typically 0.043 inches for the Camry).
  • Reinstall the ignition coils and secure them with the retaining bolts.
3. Clean Throttle Body
  • Remove the air intake duct to access the throttle body.
  • Using throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth, clean the throttle body to remove any carbon buildup.
  • Ensure the throttle plate moves freely and closes completely.
  • Reattach the intake duct after cleaning.
4. Test and Replace Idle Air Control Valve (if necessary)
  • Locate the idle air control valve (IAC) on the throttle body.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the IAC from the throttle body.
  • Inspect the valve for carbon buildup and test it with a multimeter for proper operation (should show continuity).
  • Replace the IAC if it fails the test or is heavily carboned.
