86 Corolla stalling when overheated.12ga-greco 01-15-2002, 09:26 AM Unfortunately, my mechanic is stumped with this one. Car runs fine in dry weather, idles kinda funny when it gets wet. I know what you're thinking, spark plug wires right? Changed them right away and threw in a new distributor cap and rotor for good measure, no change noticed. The REAL issue is this, in wet conditions, when driving on the freeway for a SPECIFIC time and/or distance, under constant pedal pressure, engine steadily loses power and eventually stalls. If left off for a period of 3-5 minutes it starts up again but can only be driven off the freeway, on city roads and speeds. My mechanic suggested a new fuel tank, since the fuel filter appeared clogged, after the switch to a new tank, no change noticed, still the same problem! Don't know if the following is of significance but I'll mention it anyway. The air-cleaner compartment shows an almost constant pooling of water. I've determined that it's coming from the AS (Air Suction) system, strange, since this is a valve that only draws air to the exhaust. In my case, it spews an oily residue (clearly seen on the air filter) and water into the air-filter compartment. ANY suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks. turbos86 03-16-2002, 05:49 AM Humm...I donno, have you check the AFM and TB?? vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
