Problem overview

Some Toyota Corolla owners report experiencing issues with their engine dying while driving, often linked to a recurring fuse blowing. This problem may indicate an underlying electrical or computer issue within the vehicle. Specifically, a malfunctioning EFI fuse can lead to engine stalling incidents. Owners also note the importance of following troubleshooting procedures, such as checking the 20A fuse and related components, to help diagnose the issue. Additionally, some report that a bad ignition switch or an intermittent short/open in the main engine fuse may contribute to these stalling problems. Furthermore, contaminated gasoline, also known as sour gas, can cause the engine to shut off while driving, resulting from dirt, water, or other substances in the fuel system. It is advisable for affected owners to consult with a qualified mechanic or technician to effectively diagnose and address the root cause of these issues.
