i recently got the corolla wagon '90 from a friend at the time it would not start. it has around 200k miles, is automatic, 1.6 litre EFI 4FE motor, FWD.
it hadn't been running for about 6 months, i replaced the distributor cap w/leads and spark plugs. it then seemed to run fine as i remember, the weather was colder then and i still needed to replace the exhaust manifold, so it hasn't left the drive way yet. Now the weather is in the 80-90's it is missing sort of. (sort of like it is running out of fuel)
The car starts fine and after running for a little while it will miss a few times then continue to idle fine, i can rev it up and it may also miss. then at times it misses that bad that it finally stalls. i have checked the compression, temporary bloked of return fuel line from regulator incase that wasn't maintain pressure.
also tried the self diagnoises system, it just repeatedly flashed - no codes
Need help with ideas of what to check next. or even better what it is.
