I have a 1995 Toyota Corolla. It runs for about 15 minuets of driving and then when you let it idle it chokes and dies. I can see white smoke coming from the air intake. What would cause this?

Do you have overheating and coolant losses issues?

Is it easy to restart?

Is cold start easy?

What is the idling speed after warming up? Low idling speed can result in stalling, especially if the ignition timing is set too advanced as indicated by the white smoke which could be the cylinders backfiring.
