Car is a 2009 Toyota Corolla.
The breakdown happened when the car was running very low on fuel (maybe half a gallon left). The car was on horizontal (as opposed to on an incline) when the problems started.
The symptoms I see are:
Car shakes a lot while idling .
Check engine light is on.
Check engine light flashes when I try to drive it on local roads after a couple minutes
Engine stalls out when I try to draw too much power (eg. Trying to accelerate while going uphill, starting from a stop).
Engine runs less smoothly at lower rpms, more smoothly at higher rpms.
The car is able to drive. (I was able to get it home going 40-60 on the freeway by using a lower gear, but it took a long time to accelerate).
I've ordered an OBD scanner, and plan to pull codes from the OBD port before taking it into the mechanic. I'll post those here once I do. (This is not enough to resolve the market).
I'll resolve to the closest answer based on the intervention that fixed the car, or other if none of them are close, based on my judgement. If there were multiple problems, I'll resolve all of them to YES.
I'll resolve to N/A if I don't end up fixing the car.
I won't bet on this market.
