HEY GUYS!

Yesterday I drove my car for about an hour, then parked(illegally in disabled parking of course) and when I return 5 min later to restart my car it wouldn't start. All of my lights and radio are fully operating. I waiting 30 min and though it hesitated- the car started. I had the battery checked and It is good according to the mechanic. He had me get in the car and attemp to start it again, while he "tapped" what he said was the starter. Voila! It started so he says I need a new starter. Could it be something else? Once running all is fine. Also, can I buy a started from an auto parts store and have it installed rather than paying the 215 for the starter alone? If so what type? HELP PLEASE!THANKS IN ADVANCE

I just recently changed the fuel pump on my car and now I am having trouble starting the car. It takes three tries in order for me to get the car started and for it to actually stay on. At the third try I actually have to force the key for it to stay on. Why is that?

My corolla has a starting problem. It cranks fine but wont start until I open the throttle and then it runs bad for a couple of minutes. The weird part is it only has this problem when I put gas in it. I normally fill the tank with the engine off, but I even tried leaving the engine run and once I start pumping it dies. Perfect starting every where but the gas station. Any ideas would be appreciated

Good Day,
My 2001 NZE Corolla is hard starting on the first tumble. The car would only start on the second tumble. When it starts it runs okay but it idles a bit rough.

To All

Thanks for the heads up on hard starting.

Is the there another fuel filter besides the one located in the tank?

I have a 2000 Toyota Corolla that gives me trouble to start in the morning have to try cranking it about 5 times before it starts running smooth. At the 3rd and 4th try it starts but idles but it misses then stops. After I get it to run I can do couple things when I shut it down and try to start it again it does not start I have to spray starter fluid in the intake so it starts. My car idles good for about 20 minutes then as the cooling fan comes on it starts to miss then it runs properly again. Then when the fans comes on again the car misses like if its starving then it stop. Once I get it to start in the morning I could run a long distance but has I reach my destination and the cooling fan comes on it does the same problem like I explain thanks for your help. I suspect fuel pump dirty injectors and coolant sensor. And when the car starts you can smell its burning rich but no black smoke.

Where is the fuel pressure port located on my car I don't see any one the injector rack. Does this model car have a inline fuel filter apart from the one in the tank

Hi, every so often my car starts but it runs rough for around ten seconds and then goes into a generally smooth idle. Two weeks ago I got a full tank of gas and the problem has pretty much gone away. It comes and goes and the lest time it went away was after the check engine light issue was fixed. I was wondering if it is the gas. It seems worse in the summer.

As far as the engine light is concerned, I fix the problem and the engine light comes back on. The last time it was off for two weeks and came back on.

Now the engine runs pretty good. I can still hear a little what sounds like the engine unclogging but it is much better since I got gas two weeks ago. But the engine light is still on. I am not sure if they are related.
