imupabove Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 hello. i have a 1993 toyota camry LE 2.2L. i noticed their is some kind of black build up on my engine and distributor cap. anyone know the cause of this? my gas mileage is bad and the acceleration is bad too/loss of engine performance. i feel as if my car weighs a millions pounds, you get my point. i have to push down the pedal than usual to speed up. but i can still get to places around my town but i know for sure the performance has changed. here are some pictures. thanks people.

Mosin Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 How many miles does your vehicle have? Do you have any check engine lights on? You give it oil changes every 3000? Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imupabove Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 How many miles does your vehicle have? Do you have any check engine lights on? You give it oil changes every 3000? 134-xxx miles. no engine lights, the only light that always stays on is that check "tail light" light. but my tail lights work fine. my next oil change is when i hit 136-xxx miles. iDA-X200/Clarion EQS746 RF T500-1bd (2) 12" RF HX's Kicker 350.4 Alpine & Polk Speakers Stock electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
