Hello, and thanks for taking this question. I have a 1990 Totyota Corolla station wagon and for the past month or so I've been experiencing some short term power loss while driving. I'll be cruising along, and then it will chug slightly and regan power. It seems to be happening more as the days go by. This can happen at any speed, but I seem to notice it more while on the highway. I suspect the fuel pump or perhaps the sparkplug wire may begin to faulter. On another note, when the car is cold or been parked for some time it takes quite a bit of turning over before she starts. Once she's warm, I can stop it and she'll fire up easily, or if it's winter and she's plugged in, she'll start up no problem.

Check the autozone website and register the car information. This will give you access to an online repair manual. It's a very handy resource that you should find useful. Sure hope so anyway and best wishes.
sounds like you have a computer glitch. i would take it to any auto shop and pay 50 bucks so they can take a look at your e.c.u. (engine control unit) we had a similar problem a few years ago with our 1990 volvo 740 gle 2.3l station wagon. it was a glitch with the computer. got a mixed signal with the mass air flow sensor.
