Toyota Repair: 1992 Toyota Paseo Issues :(, mass air flow sensor, 1992 toyota paseo


Question
Our paseo is a standard, we changed the fuel filter about two months ago.. We have been having horrible gas mileage but the other day All of a sudden the car hesitates, sputters and dies when trying to go into gear.. I was thinking the fuel pump? I have to replace the o2 sensor, mass air flow sensor, and another I cannot remember the name of! Help please!

Answer
It could be tyhe fuel pump. you would have to have the pressure checked or you can try a quick test to see if the fuel pump is operating, under the hood locate the small rectangular diagnostic check connector and open the cover, put a short jumper wire between the teminals fP and E1, turn the key on, if the fuel pump is good you should get fuel pressure and the engine should start. If it still does not start check for spark to the spark plugs, let me know if there is spark. Another thing that could cause this is a worn timing belt, it may have slipped on the gears.
