1993 Toyota Camry LE V6 Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1993 Toyota Camry. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Thanks to Ken Simon the Camry forum moderator for ToyotaNation.com, youtube user LynchburgCSI57 for this helpful information!
That's a 3rd generation LE V6 with the 3VZ-FE engine which was only available for 2 years (92-93) in the US (the 1MZ-FE replaced it for 94-96). The 3VZ is an iron block, aluminum head engine derived from the Toyota truck V6 of the era. They just added fuel injection. It also has 100% of its torque available from 2500 into the 4800 range. 185 hp at 5800 rpm and 195 ft/lbs at 4600 rpm.

The ECT button (and green light in the PRND2L column) you probably saw in the car holds the transmission's shift point to a higher RPM before up shifting and waits longer before down shifting. Basically, it allows for sportier driving, better throttle response, and lessened fuel economy.

About 35% of Camrys in this year were built in Japan (VIN starts with a J) and the rest were built in Kentucky (VIN starts with a 4). No major parts are different between the two, just a neat fact.

The 3VZ was also equipped with ACIS (Acoustic Control Induction System) which basically is a valve that varies the intake runner lengths to help optimize performance and low and high engine speeds. Kicks in around 3500, I believe. Sort of a weaker version of VVTi (toyota's variable valve timing).

I miss when Toyota built cars like this, at least the Camry. I owned a green '94 LE and it was solid for over 190,000 miles. I now own a 2008 Camry LE and it's built quality is dismal in comparison.

A car like this i would gladly spend $6-7000 clean look, effecient and definately deliberately durable! if treated right. it's sad how this new new generation of vehicles is far worse i believe, ive lived and raised in the 2000's, but before generations are far greater in my opinion

how much does it go for nowadays?

nice car. cars back then were made better and last better. they don't break down as easily as newer models. this car would last for ever if you take are of it.

You never said how much...

Very nice looking car. I believe the color is Almond Pearl Beige, same color as mine. I have a '93 LE, one owner, 112K miles on it. This was a great year for Toyota..although I have to be honest with you I was told to stay away of the V6 Engine. When one of the complaints about this car is the cup holders, (they could be in a better place), you have nothing to worry about. My VIN starts with a ''J'' for Japan where it was built. It's a SOLID CAR! No cheap USA parts from Taiwan it it!

[ladyyuna2000]

how much for that yellow jeep wrangler?

[grinnellalarms]
