Toyota Tercel '92 keeps quitting

Car quits every so often but only when completly stopped. Hesitates when you give it gas, and quits. Mostly happens when it's pretty warmed up. Will only do it once and run fine after. Sometimes it won't start up right away. Tried changing spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, gas cap. Cleaned out the intake too I believe?

This sounds exactly like a faulty ignition coil.

The coil is pretty easy to change. Just obtain a replacement, and observe how the existing coil is fitted. Detach any wires fitted to the existing coil, and plug them into the placement. Then unbolt the old coil, and bolt the new one into place.

It will only take you 10-15 minutes or so to replace the coil.

I own a 1991 Toyota Camry and when I start the car it starts but when I put it in drive to go it quits

there is a big black rubber hose under the hood that comes off of the air filter box going to the throttle body that will get hard and crack. it will mostly happen to 4cyl camry and only in drive and starting to give it gas. it is just to much of an air leak and engine will die. hope this will help let me know and good luck..............

I am the owner of a 1995 toyota tercel. I have recently had it inspected and everything was running fine until the other day I hit a speed bump pretty hard and now I am experiencing problems with my car....

if it crank over OK but just don't start? or that it quits cranking over ?/ it could be that it knocked a ground wire loose or that it knocked a chunk of rust off of the gas line. and taking in air /not enough gas/ hope this gives you some idea ,what to look at if you still would like more info feel free to ask .

Hesitation

Could be timing, air filter, plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor. Perform basic tune up and see if that helps.

Water Leakage and Smell of Coolant when driving and Using Heater

For a car this old It's almost certainly the water pump. You may also look at the rubber water hoses also since they do not last forever either. Do not drive without fluid in the radiator - it will warp the engine header and the engine can seize up.
