I have a 1996 Toyota Camry, with 301,200 miles on it. Just recently I noticed that when I am stopped for a light, the tachometer starts at 1 but then drops down a bit and then comes back up to 1. It feels like the car burps a bit. (The check engine light has been on for quite some time because I know there is the catalytic converter issue. But when the OBD was used this time, it not only said the P0420 code but also the P0755 code. Was able to cancel out the check engine light and it hasn't come back on -YET-] Quite a few months ago I had the transmission fluid drained and flushed. I am now at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?

Remove and clean idle air control valve. do not put whole valve in any liquid. just clean valve on end, do not push on valve end, or it will mess up idle setting. then clean around throttle plate in throttle body. there may be carbon around plate and its sticking, or no fully closing. this may help the idling. have a good day !! are the plugs and wires ok!! fix idle control valve first to see if that fixes it.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

Looks like that you have a bad O2 sensor. If the O2 sensor is faulty the car may shake and there's noticeable bad emission odor. I strongly suggest that you have it replaced. You can find this sensor on the exhaust manifold.

Do you have an erratic idle? If you do then the MAF sensor must be replaced as well. A bad idle can cause the vehicle to shake. Keep me posted regarding the progress.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Check the fuses both in the car and under the hood as front end damage usually cuts wiring causing the fuse to blow. There is also a check relay fitted behind the panel that the boot lid hinges onto, its really a pain to find but it has a link inside which can snap in the event of a collision, you can pop a drop of solder onto it to repair it.

1996 Toyota Camry sporadicallystalling out when I come to a stop.

take your car to a parts supply store and ask them to use the diagnostic scan tool. Sounds like it could be the map, maf, or the tps. at a minium take the throttle body off and clean in or take your air cleaner off and spray some cleaner in the body while the engine is running.
