My 1991 corolla gts runs great when warm, and when i first start it; but while it warms up it hesitates tremendously when i accelerate. the hesitation is more severe the more i press in the gas. the problem only occurs between cold and normal operating temp. i've changed the spark plugs and the old ones weren't fouled in any way. BTW it is a 1.6L twin cam 16 valve fuel injected engine.
HOT/WARM START ISSUE
Its
a hot start issue.
Can
be related to low fuel pressure or problem with crank sensor.
Also
it can be weak battery or starter.
But
possibilities are to be inspected to confirm what exactly it is.------

I have the same problem. In the morning/evening when i'm driving to/from school my car jerks back and fourth almost like i'm pressing on the gas and releasing. But when the car warms up it goes away, this started happening about 3 weeks ago. Also my ac is only cold while i'm driving when i stop at a traffic light it gets hot, is this normal for '91 corollas?
I had the same problem last winter. It went away in the summer and never came back this winter. I had considered changing the throttle position sensor or the coolant temp sensor??? but never got around to it. The car runs great now.
My 1991 Toyota Corolla hesitates while stopped and it's getting worse. I just replaced the fuel pump and fuel bracket 2 months ago.
