What year Camry? How many miles? Which engine? Check engine light on?

Second, there is no such thing as a “tuneup” in a computer-controlled car. You may need new spark plugs and wires depending on age and mileage. This is often referred to a tuneup by some shops.

If you want help, you’ll have to give many more details here.

What does “slow take off” mean? Is the engine revving properly (or higher) but the car isn’t moving as it should? Or does the engine not sound right?

Is the check-engine light on?

Is all of your scheduled maintenance up to date?
