Hi,
My friend who owns a 1998 Toyota Corolla driven 120000 miles recently had problems with his car starting up. Seems like the starter was broken, although he stretched the car for a few days this way. Recently, when he was driving the car wouldnt stop firing and even if he tried would not shut down. Eventually the ignition wire burnt out leaving a lot of smoke behind.
The car technitian said that the malfunctioning starter caused the ignition wire to burn out and replaced both of them. This was fine, but there is another problem now where when the AC is started , the compresser locks and the engine stops.
Was just wondering if someone can point to what could be the problem here or any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks, vivekian
