Camry Fuel Injection Issue

Wow, those symptoms sound pretty rough! I actually had something similar happen with my old Opel Astra. Turned out to be a dodgy connection in the fuel injection system. Is it possible that a cable or plug connection of the component is defective? Maybe check the connections and see if anything looks loose or corroded?

Thanks for the tip! Where exactly should I be looking for these connections? I'm not the most mechanically inclined, so a little more detail would be awesome.

Okay, so on my Astra, the connections were near the fuel injectors themselves, which are on top of the engine. But honestly, poking around without knowing what you're doing could make things worse. Given the stalling and smoke, and assuming a defective cable or plug connection is the root cause, I'd strongly recommend taking it to a workshop and get the fuel injection system checked professionally. You could end up causing more damage, and they should be able to diagnose it properly.

Appreciate the advice! I'll take it to a workshop. Turns out you were right on the money! It was a defective plug in the fuel injection, they charged me 95€ for the repair. Runs like a dream now!
