1987 Corolla won't idle. Group: alt.autos.toyota Date: Sat, Jan 27, 2007, 8:16pm (EST-3) From: snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com Hey, One day it was running fine, the next day when I went to start it up to go out it wouldn't idle. I usually have to let him warm up abit then kick down on the accelerator to do the choke, (it has an auto-choke) after that it usually goes into low revs and is ready to drive. But this time when I did that, the engine chugged at low revs then just died on me, now I can't get it to idle at all, it just keeps dying on me. Also when this first happened, I lifted the bonnet to find that both my radiator fans are not running at all, and I can't seem to get them to run. Any idea on how to fix this before I run it down to a mechanic? Cheers.
Honey, I miss my '87 Corolla. Gorgeous, Blue. I need reliable, she always started up great, idled fine...took great care of her. She took a huge hit at 5 years old, came back fine. At the end, got fussy when wet...started up, warmed up, ran fine, stop at a light, oh, damn. Stalled, no matter what we did. I spent a lot to keep her going. But she would not not go any further till she decides to go. She got risky, blocking traffic, I did a lot, spent a lot, but can't take chances here...maybe you can. Had to let her go in 2002 for My 2003 Corolla. Maybe it's time.
