1990 Corsica, stalling out while slowing + engine very hot - 12/14/2006 12:17:29 PM    buijon   Posts: 8 Joined: 8/27/2006 Status: offline Yeay new problem. I recently replaced the headlamp dimmer switch which was no biggy. Replaced all 4 brakes,drums,rotors, etc this past weekend. Then my battery died. It wouldn`t start in the morning after a cold night. Jumped it. Didn`t start the next morning, jumped it. Charged it the next morning for 4 hours, wouldn`t start. Tried jumping it, didn`t work. The battery gave out. Fine I say. Bought a new battery and the cars running again. However when I slow down, the battery light comes on quick and the car stalls out. If it doesn`t stall, it gets real quiet like it`ll stall then gets like a jump of power back up to idle. If I turn the car on it idles fine until i put it in gear, then it sounds like its laboring to get ready to go. When I stop it usually sounds like it`ll stall out, but then barely remains running until kicking back to idle. Suggestions on what could be going on? I checked the computer and no codes are stored. In addition, my engine seems to get very hot very quick, and takes for ever to cool down. I just checked the collant well, and its sides were sucked in like a soda bottle thats been around a long time. The coolant level it at the normal "full cold" line, but the engine seems to not be getting cooled. Help! < Message edited by buijon -- 12/14/2006 12:33:06 PM > Post #: 1
