Engine Performance problem
1990 Toyota Camry Automatic
why does my engine die some time after I start using the car. This usually happens after not using the car for more than 8 hours. I can start the car just fine but when I begin driving, the problem starts. Usually, this happens when I step on the gas after the light turns green (mostly in an intersection) or every time when I come to a stop sign.
Sometimes, the engine will not really die but will be like it's gasping for gas. What I do is I pump the accelerator or step on it really hard. After 15 - 20 mins. Or so of driving, the car runs fine. I know that the is some leak in the engine as I can see it on the pavement where I parked my car.
The car was just given to me by my uncle and I have no idea about the history of the car. All I know is that he bought this brand new then.
