For my 13bt corolla. Before I left on vacation about two weeks ago, I was moving my car a couple meters, and I barely had the intercooler on when I was backing it up the intercooler fell off and the car died, I put it back on tight and remounted it and the car still ran like ****.

I can somewhat get it started and have it idle ok then I rev it up and it kinda sounds even more raspy than usual and it backfires then when I let off the idle drops too like 250 then it slowly dies..

not too mention I never ever did sort out why my secondaries werent firing.


wtf is going on, engine toast?? its getting depressing working on this thing, I keep going backwards it seems....

 

Are you TMIC or FMIC?

FMIC- most likely unrelated from intercooler falling off.

TMIC- Try this get the car idling then spray carb clean around the exten-plenum and vacuum line's, assembly's. Most likely something has just falling apart do to the jolt of the TM falling off its place. unplugging the small 3:16th vacuum line's going into the hard lines.

let us know how that work's out always here to help.

FMIC, it seems like it happened immediately after it fell off.


but

it doesnt even start now, I double checked all my I/C couplers are tight and I havent changed any vac lines since it ran good
