1990 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

When the transmission went out on my car in July of this year, I noticed that my car had lost a lot of power. I had to mash the gas pedal almost all the way down to the floor to get it to go. I got the transmission fixed this month, but I'm still having the same problem with the gas pedal - now, I have to mash the gas pedal ALL the way down to the floor (several times) to get her to go. Then she only goes about 25-35 mph. What could be wrong?

Have fuel pressure checked with a mechanical gauge. On this year Toyota, you need a special service kit, since there is no fuel pressure test port.

But I think you have a bad fuel pump or restriction in line/clogged filter.
