I live in the desert and my 1988 mr2 works fine during the winter and fall months. But when the weather gets hot it pings a lot and stalls after the engine gets hot. i have to keep giving it gas to get it to move. Once i have driven about a mile it acts normal.

Problems excessive pinging and the smell of fuel when i stop.
