Problem now gone.
Earth on this earlier car has two wires,1 to the engine,1 to the body---anyway if all else fails try this idea.
Bye for now,Normo1
O2 sensors are supposed to be changed at 40k to 50k of life. I had a sensor was reading okay and the car wouldn't pass smoke check until I changed the sensor.
Catalitic converters are supposed to last a long time. Although if your O2 sensor was bad it will shorten its life. They also have a life warranty of about 50k miles. Unless it was the original which should last longer.
The only other thing I have seen, and it is rare, is windsheild mouldings that buzz at higher speeds. This noise is very hard to duplicate so it may be just easier to do the repair which is to have a body shop reseal the mldgs to the glass.
You Corolla should be fine.
55,000 miles on a 1991--is that a misprint ?
I thought I remembered seeing on one of the Toyota forums that someone replaced a Corolla armrest with one from another model of Toyota. I don't know where that discussion was. I will try to do a search to find it, but is there anyone out there who knows of a way to change out the console to something that is larger in height or length?
Thank you all for your help!

If a Toyota garage fixed it contact them and ask them to check their TSB's.
Any help? Please?
The Kragen mechanic checked the altinator and seems healthy.
Please help.
Now I am wondering if its worth keeping?
Problem: It won't start. Local shop that is reliable thought it was a bad coil or ignitor, or distributor. After putting each new part in, the car still does not start. He now says it may be the ECU(Computer), which would have to be done by the dealer. Is this expensive? Or could it be something else?
Also he tells me the clutch is slipping in first gear.
Car does burn oil too.

When car is running cold, it works just fine. After normal operating temperature, when car is idle, at a stoplight etc. and in gear, it goes bup-bup-bup-bup and sounds like it might be at a lower RPM. While it is doing this it will bog down and shut off if I don’t get the RPM’s up. After it shuts off, if I’m lucky it will restart if I do it immediately, but most of the time it won’t restart; it will crank but not start. It almost seems like it acts flooded. It will start again after sitting for awhile but takes a lot of effort, after it starts, I get a lot of exhaust out of the muffler. A squirt of starter fluid in the carburetor doesn’t really seem to help; it starts for a split second but dies.
List of Fixed Suspicions

-Battery, Spark Plugs, Plug wires, PCV valve, Distributor, Distributor Cap & Rotor, Alternator
Also new are: Air Filter, Fuel Pump (mechanical type) Fuel Filter
