Yes, it's finally happened. I killed my car.

No, I didn't crash the thing. At the moment it's parked in the driveway, unable to idle, and with no throttle response.

I always wanted to spend my Saturday tearing apart the carby trying to find the problem with my car which left me stranded on a motorway at 9PM at night.

Hence, I have adopted the name 'APOLLO KILLER' until such time as I fix it, when I shall become 'APOLLO HEALER'.

It's the Toyota 3S-FC motor, put in the lower models of Camry and Apollos. The only one WITHOUT fuel injection.

How lucky am I...

Not to worry...I've killed several cars and brought them back from the dead.

Of course, most died a very agonizing permanent death sometime later...
