The 1995 Toyota Camry has a 2.2 liter, four-cylinder engine. The engine is fairly reliable, but it does need basic maintenance to keep it running properly. The basic tuneup on a 1995 Camry includes: spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor. All of these parts slowly break down due to the heat produced by the engine. Performing a tuneup on the '95 Camry is a relatively easy task and will save you several hundred dollars by not taking it to a repair shop.
Remove the spark plug wire by pulling it straight up from the spark plug by hand.
Loosen the spark plug with a ratchet, extension and socket and pull it out from the tube.
Insert the new spark plug into the tube and use the ratchet, extension and spark plug socket to tighten the spark plug.
Push the spark plug wire onto the new spark plug; it will click when it is secured to the plug.
Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for the remaining spark plugs.
Remove the spark plug wire by pulling it straight up from the spark plug by hand.

Locate the distributor cap; it is to the driver's side of the engine and has spark plug wires running into it.
Loosen the two bolts holding the distributor cap to the distributor with a ratchet and socket.
Pull the cap off of the distributor.
Remove the spark plug wires from the old cap and transfer them to the new cap. Perform this one wire at a time to make certain you keep the firing order correct.
Pull the rotor from the distributor assembly by hand.
Push the new rotor onto the distributor until it clicks into place.
Set the new cap onto the distributor; make certain to line the bolt holes up.
Tighten the bolts with the ratchet and socket until the cap is secure.
