1997 Corolla 1.6gs Revs Dying. Poor Mileage

[paul anthony stokes]

Hello to everyone. I recently purchased a 1997 corolla 1.6gs 3dr, thought I was onto a winner as it has only done 35000 miles (genuine). I am getting extremely poor mileage (230 miles to a full tank, not driven hard), have had new plugs and filters, new clutch fitted before purchase, the drive is awful in low gear. Starting off is jerky, and the revs die when slowing down for junctions or stopping. This problem is intermittent, very frustrating.

Does anybody have a clue?

What do other people with the same vehicle get (mileage wise) for a full tank, mix of urban and motorway driving.

I am considering getting rid of this car, which is a shame, first toyota I have had, and only 35000 miles.

Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Stokesy. :( :( :(
