I have a 2002 Toyota Camery v6. My mechanic had just put in a no vacuum solenoid for a problem i was having. My car was running lean in bank one. The very next day I drove to the bank. It staeted just when I first started the car. At the bank I was stopped and all of a sudden my car shacked realy hard then the idle dropped the car was puttering then it stopped. I had to give it a lot of gas to restart it and keep giving it gas to keep it running so I could get home. Mechanic's Assistant: How many miles are on the Saturn? Has the Saturn been starting normally? It is a 2002 Toyota Camery with only 94,000 miles Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Relay yourself? What have you tried so far? My friend is a mechanic and was fixing code that car was running lean in bank one. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? My mechanic had just put in some kind of vacuum solenoid.

Hello I'm Rick from just answer sorry to hear about your Toyota issues as I know how frustrating this can be, if you see a phone call request you may just ignore that.... Do you happen to know which codes were in the system?

It was a code that said engine running lean in bank one. That problem was rectified and there were no longer any other codesI think you and I have just spoken

Okay I see, it may still have a vacuum leak going on in a hose somewhere or possibly the throttle body needs to be cleaned out It may be gummed up or with carbon and would cause this issue as well, I would recommend scanning this again to see what other codes may be in the system
