Check alt fuse link (under hood fuse block)

  • Anonymous Apr 06, 2012

    If you have this problem ck 100 amp blue fuse which I believe is the alt fuse, hard to remove and replace on 97 Camry b/c held in by screws and hard to pull out module to get to screws.

I have a 2011 Toyota Camry my battery was dead so I jumped it after I jumped it I started when I put it in gear it goes into gear but there's no throttle at all

check fuses, jump starts can blow them.
then scan the PCM any time throttle Pedal is dead. no RPM rise ,correct?
engine start is park, and the throttle is dead in park\
or in gear Drive, car does not move but RPM rises or not.
will car move in reverse.

yah didn't jump stated the battery will cables jumped backwards right (at any time)
if yes that can be very bad.

Jump start with reversed cables. Now car wont start? Ideas?

Oh, oh. U did something stu--d and trashed the electrical system of the car with the reversed polarity. There is no telling just what you trashed - hope you have lots of dinero for the diagnostics and/or repair.

My 1998 Dodge Durango won't turn over and the car is getting no power anywhere, except for the headlights. The engine will crank but won't turn over. Any ideas? Everything worked fine until we had to...

Is the ground for the engine and the battery clean and working properly check at point of connection with test light to see if all grounds are OK and make sure no positive cable are bare and touching metal causing a ground fault and blowing fuse . check wires at battery and going to starter some times wires will burn through and touch other wires or metal causing a direct ground. good luck

2002 toyota camry will not start , could it be the starter relay

if you don't even hear the starter click, it's the starter, relay, or battery (turn your headlights on and try to start. if the lights dim a lot, get a new battery). if it clicks but doesn't spin, battery or starter. if it turns over but doesn't start, fuel or spark problem.
