Asked by Bkp91 Oct 07, 2014 at 11:57 AM about the 1993 Toyota Camry LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The engine on my 1993 camry 4cyl will not exceed 2500 to 3000 rpm.  When it reaches
that mark the rpm fall and immediately rise again. This happens about twice per second.  
The car starts and idles well. It will accelerate and shift properly below that rpm threshold
