1998 Toyota Camry Tour

A short little tour I made of my 1998 Toyota Camry LE (4 cylinder) for saabkyle04.

Brief history of this model year:
Was the last year for the rare V6 and manual combination (CE trim with a V6)
Had side impact airbags as an option.

Engines:

2.2 L DOHC 16-value EFI 4 cylinder (5S-FE)
133 hp (136 hp 2000/1) @ 5,200 RPM
147 lb-ft. (150 lb-ft. 2000/1) @ 4,400 RPM

3.0 L DOHC 24-value EFI 6-cylinder (1MZ-FE)
194 hp @ 5,200 RPM
209 lb-ft. @ 4,400 RPM

The best generation of the Toyota Camry!

@talldude123 personally I agree. 2nd is the 2012 Camry.

These have interior filters that sometimes are so dirty that airco etc. isn't working properly. But a very nice car and very reliable.

@vangestelwijnen I don't have that in my Camry.

@vettefreak89 It seems that more Camry owners (in Holland) thought the same, but you should have a filter on the side behind the gas pedal. After many years this gets dirty. If you clean it, it makes a lot of difference. Your airco should work much better with a clean or new filter. It concerns your series of the Camry, and I've read several stories about owners not knowing they had one. Maybe you can check anyway? It can be a 'Dutch' feature, but I doubt that.

@vangestelwijnen ah hmm I will take a look into that and make a video for it if I do find the spot for one. From what I heard and seen it was mostly the Lexus ES300 (based on this) that had it but the buyer had to request it for the camry.

@YoungOldSchoolRapper not this generation of Camrys. They stopped making the wagon and coupe after 1996. Though the coupe came in 99 as the Solara and the wagon was sold in other countries.

I have got the 1998 CSI and I am getting the shits with it, it was my dads old car and the previous people obviously didnt look after the car, is it normal to hear the sound this one is making? mine makes the same sound :( cant find the location where the oil leak is (so I dont know if its a simple thing) and the material for the roof lining is coming down, question is how do I go about learning to replace or reattach the roof lining, the material is in good cond, fluff come loose &flaked off.

I have a 1998 Camry LE and it just took me cross country with no problems! One of the most dependable cars ever!
