denbyy Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share 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?

CorollaFan Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Sounds like it could be over heating or maybe a fuel problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share 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.
