stalls about a minute after starting

[brianneves]

my 85 toyota stalls out after about a minute of idling. it runs just fine and then starts to idle down and just keeps getting lower and lower until it stops. after it has ran, you have to continually pump the gas to make it run. if you let it cool off completely, then it will start just fine and run for a minute and then die again. heres a list of things ive done to it.....


replaced fuel filter
cleaned and rebuilt carb
put in fresh gas
replace air filter
checked for leaking vacuum hoses


it used to just die occasionally, but it kept getting worse and now it dies after about a minute.

can anyone help???

On my 91 Corolla, my problem (my check engine light was on showing Code 22) was my coolant temperature sensor. My car would die a few times right after starting it the first time of the day, and for the first few minutes, would try to die if I pressed on the gas. I checked (fixed) the touching wires for the plug, and replaced the Coolant Temperature Sensor ($25 at Auto Zone) and it runs like a dream now. The wires to that plug were exposed right at the plug and touching, so I seperated them gently with a small flat head screw driver, and coated them with Liquid Electrical tape (found at home depot) Make sure to unplug the battery first, as even though there's not much going through those two wires, they will bite ya.
