[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 54789, member: 6548"] Oh it has to be something weird because 98 Camry's with 190 on the clock don't break readily... If it is a 4 cylinder one of the common problems they have with big miles is there is part of the wiring harness that runs down along a cover that goes to a connector right by the alternator bracket...if it comes loose from the connecter then the wire rubs on the belt you lose electricity your car runs like crap...that is my shot in the dark diagnosis... After that I would check fuel pressure to tell me about the fuel pump and injectors and what not...then I would check fire...distributor and coil packs plugs etc unless the computer told me something like crank sensor or cam sensor... If you broke a timing belt you are in deep caca... I bet it is gonna say you have random multiple misfires...one thing you could test real easy is to get it started and running and pull off one of the battery cables...if it dies you have a spot rubbed into your harness down by the alternator or your alternator is bad...that is something you can do very easily by yourself that will tell you something maybe...
