Solution to 3VZ-FE bogging when cold

"93 Camry Auto w 315K. I've been living with this problem for a while now, would like to get around fixing..

Starts easy, idles perfect cold and warm, drives very well after engine is warm
- Bogs/misses and feels like its going to die after taking off above about ~2,000 rpms or so from every startup where the car is not already warm. Runs fine after this initial "bogging down" for maybe 15-20 seconds of holding the gas pedal to the floor and going almost nowhere. Really picks up strong and fast after the car snaps out of this "initial cold bog down" Fuel mileage isn't as good as it should be. "

sound familiar? My 93 es300 with 5speed has been doing this. The solution [more like patch ] is to remove the aluminum plug and turn the screw exactly two turns counter clockwise. Mark the screw to the tube relationship first for the reasons: you might need to go back to original, and you can use marks to determine you have turned exactly two turns.

Go to P3 and/or P4 for the procedure, on this webpage:

well it essentially worked for me, so don't wait too long! it could cause an accident or worse if your engine is in that period of nuttiness and you go to merge on a highway and your car returns no response at all [in fact stops putting out power].

your 4cy 96 camry is completely different engine , nothing is the same as your lexus 92/93 v6. that engine could have this kind of problem, but then you can just clean the wire. our problem is systemic to the air flow meter and that thing costs like 500 bucks
