Hi! I have a 1995 toyota corolla XL with a 1300cc (2E) engine. The reading is 360,000 KM. I already had top overhaul twice before but haven't replace piston rings. Last week the engine becomes unstable, erratic idling and almost stall and lacks power.. when I depress the gas halfway the engine didn't respond at all. I replaced the spark plugs as per manufacturers specification, the idling somehow become a bit stable. The following day it didn't start at all and found out that the igniter assembly is dead, replaced it and the power goes back but unfortunately the idling remains unstable,, i tried to replace the vacuum advancer, checked the ignition coil but still no effect. I observed that if I remove the vacuum hose on the distributor the idling becomes stable but as I put it back idling gets worst. I drove it out this morning and as I step on the gas theres no response like it used to be. First I adjusted the distributor to get a good response, yes it does but the engine still has an idling problem. I remove the vacuum line on the distributor and idling is more stable. I hope you can give me an advice on this..
