89 Corolla problem -HELP!!




By jessie25 - usenet poster

My 89 Corolla DX has an intermittent problem. It seems to be a cold
weather problem (does not happen when above freezing). It will be
running just fine when suddenly it just quits, and car coasts to a
stop. It will only start if accelerator pedal is held to the floor,
and then all the engine does is sputter and "diesel". If the car sits
for about 2-5 minutes it will start up fine and drive as if nothing was
wrong. I took the car in thinking it was an icing problem. The Toyota
dealer rebuilt the carb (at a tune of 300 bucks, and replaced the
throttle position switch for another 40 dollars). I am tired of
throwing away my money and any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Maybe it is icing up. Did you check the heater hose from the exaust manifold
to air clener? Also check that the vaccuum operated valve for that is working.

I did check the hose and the vacuum valve. The hose is in good
condition, and the valve is opening properly. Thanks. Pete
