Car problem
I have a 93 Toyota Tercell with 180,000 miles.
Everytime I slow down to 2mph or to a stop, my engine idles and the check engine light goes on- I have to put my car in park and keep my foot lightly on the gas pedal at stoplights to keep it from turning off completely.
I have an appt. tommorw at a local auto shop, but I know there are some gearheads on here who might be able to tell me what might be going on with my baby- price estimates, anyone?Purple Banana Reviewed by Purple Banana on .

I have no clue. My dad's the auto guru, he usually knows what it is, but he's at work, and the place I go to is REALLY honest, and if it's a DIY thing, they don't charge.

Car problem
Anyone have any cost estimates for fuel injector/fuel pump? I get my paycheck this week, and I'm debating on whether or not getting a new used car for 2 grand or less... I love my baby and don't want to let her go, but if it's mind-blowing expensive...

It has something to do with the fuel pump..and that is about all I can tell you..I had a 91 tercel and I got 275,000 miles out of it b4 I traded it in, they still gave me 500 bills for it..I should of kept it though..I am sure I could of topped 300,000

I'm thinking by how it's been acting, it's just dirty- yesterday I foolishly let my gas go down to about .8 gallons left in my 12 gallon tank, then filled it right up- I think that might have triggered it, maybe some crap got into the injector. We'll see, though. This is really helping, all of ya
