Sounds like your idle air control valve is acting up. Possibly dirty/faulty.

It is probably your ac compressor turning on and off as it should,it would put the engine under load,but the engine should make up for this and increase idle instead of decrease,

No. Not normal. In a 2004 Corolla 1.8 at idle with A/C on should idle about 1100 to 1200, A/c off about 900 to 1000. Lower than that the oil pressure is not up to snuff

My 2003 Toyota Corolla with 175,000 miles was showing the check engine light. My friend ran a check and the code P0770 came up, which is Shift Solenoid 'E' Malfunction. When I'm on the freeway, I do notice my car is slow on accelerating, but my MPG is fine. How much would it cost to get this fix? Also, would I fail the California SMOG check? My friend removed the check engine light and it hasn't reappeared (It's been a good 500 miles without it reappearing, but my car is still slow at accelerating). Thanks guys! 11 Answers

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
