1987 Toyota Corolla fx won't start

It runs fine once it starts

If you find out what the problem is please post it b/c I have been having the same problem; I have posted like 4 threads and I haven't gotten any responses. My camry has been to 2 shops and still nothing.

I fixed three things and it seems to be running fine.

One, it seems to get water in the the carbourator, so I add water remover from time to time.

Two the carbourator pre heat hose had delaminated, thus clogging it (outside looked fine, but inside came undone and closed up).

3rd I was getting flooding because the bolt holding down my caebuerator broke, when I tried to start it hot it flooded the engine.

From time to time it takes a few extra seconds to start, but now it always does. Hope that helps.

Reply if you found something that fixes everything.

Thanks I am going to check the carb. I'll let you know

I should also say that I check/ replaced the obvious things. Timing, fuel filter, air filter etc
