Just saw this post. There was a recall on the igniter assembly inside the distributor. Ours failed at 30,000 miles, when the car was a few years old. It tends to overheat in there, and if grease isn't used to combat the heat, it could possibly fail in the future. When we sold it at 150,000, it was still on the replacement igniter. It results in a no-spark condition.

I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla with 130K miles. We recently had a lot of rain and the water line on the car indicates that the yard was flooded up to about mid bumper on the car. The car did have about 1/4 inch of standing water in floor. The car idled a little rough when first started, but drove fine for a couple short trips from the house. The third trip was about a mile and a half away and the car stopped on us. We now cannot get it to stay running unless our foot is on the gas. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong with it? 3 Answers
