AboutTed Ritter Expertise I have more than 26 years experience as toyota technician, I will be able to answer most questions related to the toyota product line up to the present year models, I specialize in difficult to diagnose problems but when posting a question please keep in mind that some situations require the used of special test equipment and diagnostic procedures especially as the newer models become more technologically advanced, so without actually having the car on hand I may only be able to try to steer you in the right direction and in some cases may have to refer you to the toyota dealer but at least you will know what you may be dealing with. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, I will have an answer for you in most cases. When posting a question keep in mind that I reside in the US, although I get questions from all over the world I may not have an answer for models that are not sold in the US, I will do a reasonable search to try to match your model to the US model,please refrain from asking about diesel powered vehicles, I have no information for them. In most cases I will not answer questions about major modifications of OEM components, engine swapping or aftermarket products,please post a question not a statement, please provide enough basic information such as year, model, what engine and if anything has already been done to fix the problem, the more information I get the more I can help without having to ask you more questions.

Question My car is stalling. I notice this when car is at a stop
From full stop to acceleration the I feels the engine struggles
To pickup and than all of sudden it rides normal.
I had done my car maintenance at 30,000 miles,
At present I have 41000 miles on the car.
Only thing I can think of is I had switched to regular gas
From plus.
Could it be bad fuel?
Thank you very much for your time

Answer Hello, welcome to my expert page.
There are frquent problems with the idle speed control valves on both 4cylinder and V-6 Camrys, the problem can be fixed most of the time by cleaning the ISC valve, this involves removing the throttle body and removing the valve so it can be cleaned.
