my 1994 toyota camry 2.2 engine shuts down whilst driving or in park. change the distributor and the gas pump and the gas filter put problem still persist. took it to a mechanic and he did a diagnostic test. He said it is the car computer. it put the vehicle in run and after it gets hot it shut it down. He said change the computer and the car would run. is this a good solution

Since I'm not actually working on the car, I don't know what he found, but it certainly could be a computer problem. The only way to find out would be to replace it and see what happens.

Many of my colleagues told me that if it was the computer, my car wouldn't start at all. is this a true statement?

Not necessarily, a computer can be faulty or have certain problems and still let the car run.
