Every now and then my rolla will sputter and want to stall on me after start up. I think my carburetor isn't getting enough fuel, or the auto choke isn't working right. I have a 1980 corolla te-72 sedan with a 1.8 3tc, automatic transmission. Any help or advise would be very appreciated.

my ke70 has a manual choke and i have to let it warm up for ages when i first start it or no matter how warm it gets through out the day it will conk out you just have to give it a really good warm up keep it at about 1500 for about five mins or so just to get it running nice. also i had a blown gasket later on that made it sputter, it was exhaust one and that made it die continusely no matter what.

 

hope that helps

i concur.

 

my 3t is a biatch in the mornings and doesnt like to move for about the time it takes me to smoke a ciggie and find a cd to listen to, id say about five minutes. and even then its pretty slugish till its fully warmed up.

 

if your car is heaps bad though maybe the timing is out a little bit. if its stock the timing should be 10 btdc, if you've got a timing light id check that.
