denbyy Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 After ripping a skid in the wet the tires gripped up and then I had almost no power when accelerating and when stopped it was idling heaps lumpy and then turned itself off. I waited 5 minutes and turned it on and it was fine. Idling was okay and had power again. Seems to happen when there is a lot of load on the engine. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks Quote
CorollaFan Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 Sounds like it could be over heating or maybe a fuel problem. Quote
altezzaclub Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 Stick it on a dyno with mixture & ignition probes. The $80 spent will be well worth it for a diagnoses, then take it away and fix whatever shows up- poor coil, head gasket, ignition condensor, fuel delivery... could be quite few things really. Quote
denbyy Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Posted April 2, 2013 It's never overheated in the time I've had it man, it's has 350k on the engine though lol Might have to do that then thanks mate Quote
