AE92 acceleration problems! Help!!!

Postby eli-hawk » Tue Jan 29, 2013 9:59 am

Hi, I own a AE92 89 Corolla GTS, completely stock. The problem with my car is if you floor the gas pedal, it accelerates lazy, like if the engine were flooded; if you let of the gas like half way, it accelerates better, but only around 10 MPH per gear, by 5th gear it tops out at 60-65 MPH. Then, I had the engine repaired (thanks to a hurricane flooding every street, water got into the engine :x ), but the guy who repaired it says it still has the same problem and that it might be the AFM, but he didn't want to fix it. I don't know what it is, and if its the flow meter, it's around the $600-$800 mark, so I just wanna be sure that the problem is just that before I have to waste that kind of money. What you guys think??? :?:

Anything else? Cause I bought a new one before the engine got flooded, but maybe the water screwed it up. I'll check it anyway, any help is appreciated... :|
