Two engines were offered in the 1990 Camry: a 2.0L four-cylinder (3S-FE) and a 2.5L V6 (2VZ-FE), spread across Base, DX and LE sedans and wagons in automatic and standard transmission form. The two engines are different enough in service that a figure written for one is simply wrong on the other, which is why this Toyota reference is tied to the exact year, engine and trim in front of you rather than to Camrys in general.

Known issues on record. NHTSA's file for the Camry carries one recall, campaign 16V396000, covering the front seat assembly seat heater/cooler: if damaged, the copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire. The same file holds 160 owner complaints and 12 technical service bulletins from Toyota.
Work on a car this age usually starts from a symptom rather than a part number, and a factory manual is what gets you from one to the other in Toyota's own diagnostic order, working to the specifications set for the 1990 Camry.
