my car ab 2 wks ago wouldnt start, whats wrong with it?

Question

it was said to be the coil and the distributor,(It was changed) a few days later it began to hesitate, and somewhat stall out when i make stops it acts like it doesn wanna go! it squeeks and slips on incline..and while accelerating it goes extremely slow! also a strainer in the transm.was replaced.. toyota corolla 93" 239,000 miles plus..now its driveable but acts stupid?lol

Answer 1

Same Trany When New? change oil, filter and flush trany (At 239,000 the trany may be gone). Check Distributor timing (Setting), Plug wires and wire routing.

Answer 2

It could be the battery or alternator. Have the battery tested at an auto parts store or a garage (it only takes 5 minutes). If the battery is bad you will notice a significant loss of power; the same thing goes for the alternator. Also I would recommend replacing the fuel filter and air filter, as both will greatly reduce your power.

Answer 3

Squeeking sound, hmmm, check your serpentine belts and your timing belt.

Normal maintenance and tune up will help.
- Check Spark Plugs and Wires (if they dont need replacing then dont)
- Check your Timing Belt (If it has a timing belt it could be a chain)
- Check to see if your battery and alternator are working as they should, which I believe they are.
- Replace your PCV Valve (Inexpensive Piece)
- Have your EGR Valve Checked (Inexpensive Piece)
- Your Catilytic Converter could be clogged (I said could be, doesn't mean it is, restricted air flow will make your car die out on you)
- I dont think it is your transmission, unless you dont have enough fluids in there, which I kind of doubt, but possibility.

Answer 4

I would recommend changing the fuel and air filters too.

Hard to diagnose something through a simple description.
