When I am accelerating the car sputters and dies some time if you can keep it idling about 1 rpm it might not die but it still sputters. if at a stop light it will sputter and quite. The car restarts.

Sound like it needs a tune up, replace spark plugs check high tension cables , make sure there is a good spark to the plugs, clean or replace air filter, replace fuel filter , check fuel pressure and flow. check fuel injectors for leaks.

My 95 camry 4 cyl. dies and or sputters when idling in drive or reverse, it does this sometimes in park too. There is no check engine light on. What is my problem?

solution one:

If your driving in your car and it suddenly dies for no reason. That usually means that the air bag kill switch stopped working. Some kind of safety device to kill the engine.

This is what happened to me I was driving in my car home from work and everything is perfect one minute and then the car DIES!!! The next morning took it to my mechanic and he looked under the hood for 4 hours and found nothing. It wasn't doing it that day. I was insisting that my car was not working properly and the mechanic said he found nothing in the diagnosis. Then I was leaving and the darn air bag light came on. I went back in to the garage that minute. He took the car back in and found the problem within one hour. It was the darn air bag switch.

solution two:

Check the Distributor Cap and Rotor. Check Spark Plugs and wires. Replace if necessary.


solution three:
Check Air filter and fuel filter. Replace if necessary.


solution four:

This is the most expensive solution but if all else fails Change the Control Computer. Garage will charge around $500.
