HEY ALL, HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM
. I HAVE AN 88 COROLLA GTS (AE92) FWD (4A-GE) COUPE. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN I DROVE THROUGH A FLOODED ROAD LAST HURRICANE SEASON AND THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, THEN TWO WEEKS LATER IT WOULDN'T START
. I CHANGED THE STARTER, IGNITION COIL, WIRES, PLUGS, BATTARY, ROTOR AND CAP. I EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO CHANGE THE FUEL INJECTORS, VALVE COVER GASKET, OIL PAN GASKET AND CAMSHAFT OIL SEAL, THINKING THAT MAYBE SOME WATER WAS GETTING IN THE ENGINE. STILL WITH ALL THOSE CHANGES IT WON'T START ON AN INCLINE
. NOW WHEN THE CAR IS LEVELED IT WILL START, THEN WHEN I DRIVE IT IN FIRST GEAR IT WILL START SPUTTERING AGAIN AND THE PICKUP IS SLOW. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK THE VACCUM LINES BUT HOW DO YOU CHECK THEM AND WITH WHAT? COULD I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP? I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS AND AS STATED BEFORE IT STARTED ON LEVELED GROUND. NOW WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE WITH THE FRONT END FACING DOWNWARD, IT STARTS BUT WITH A LITTLE HESITATION. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND STILL I'M STUMPED
. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP OR HAVE ANY IDEA AS TO WHY I'M HAVING A STARTING PROBLEM. OH! AND ANOTHER THING, WHEN I TURN ON THE A/C THE RPM DROP AND IT IDLES AT 1 TO 1.5 RPM. THE BATTARY HAS A FULL CHARGE. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
