1995 Corolla does not start when engine is warm.

[greg_jones]

It always starts in the morning and after work(in the evening) but if I shut it off then restart it while the engine is still warm, it stalls. Usually I have to wait at least 4-5 hours to start it back up again so that it will run fine. If I try to start it back up soon after I shut the engine off, it dies just when I shift to drive/reverse/neutral. Basically the engine needs to cool down for it to start(and drive). It has no problem starting and driving in the morning while the engine is cold. No check-engine light on. Replaced spark plugs few months ago. Also one more problem - when going around 50-55mph, it feels like the engine is trying to stall. I shift it to N for few seconds then its usually fine again.

Any help?

My sons car was experiencing something similar to this going down the highway, I discovered that part of the cat had broken loose and fell down into the exhaust hole nearly blocking the pipe. I disconnected the pipe at the bottom of the cat, removed the chunk, put a new gasket in solved the loss of power going down the highway problem. He has the same engine. Hope I've help at least part of your problem.
