Some 1985 and 1986 model Camry vehicles may be difficult to-start or may not start when parked facing downhill on a steep incline with less than a 1/4 tank of fuel. The following production changes have been made to correct this condition:

^ The fuel pump has been modified, using larger motor winding wires and a more efficient air bleed hole location.
