So that I can get a port and polish and bolt on a TRD supercharger in my Matrix all at once!

A guy in spokane has a twin turbo mr2. It's my boss's friends.

remember that old saying:
Theres no replacment for displacement
translated into there's no replacement for cu inches
well theres no replacement for cubic dollars either
anything is possible....

yeah it's a 94 ST manual

If I have a "Celica ST (7AFE) manual" do I need a "7AFE manual" ECU?
Or can I use a 7AFE automatic ECU?
TJ

how much?

It won't start! No spark I get gas but no spark. And I just replaced my distributer again (sorry nik my dad thought this would work). So we have been checking electrical, but him and I don't have that much experience with this. We do have a chilton's and we fallowed its dignostic instrucions and it narrowed it down to the ECU, but we both are going to be pissed if we buy a $125 ECU and it doesn't work! Any thoughts, possible other faults in the system, etc. would be a huge help.
Thanks,
TJ

Forkee mine used to idle high too but it was due to a stuck open thermostat which caused it to try to come up to temp constantly during the winter with the radiator cooling the antifreeze constantly. Got reely bad gas mileage too like 25-mpg instead of 31mpg

Does anyione have a 7AFE ecu (must fit manual) that they are willing to part with.

Ok so I have been having some troubles with my celica. I think my ecu is going or is dead. Does any one know how to test the ecu?

havent seen snow? wow we don't get too much in spokane but about a decade ago we got so much snow it drifted 6+ft high. Only reason I remeber is how cool my snow fort was!!! Then there was that damn ice storm that was bad and this year we had the coldest december since 1919 and the warmest jan ever.
Global Warming?

Frigging SWEET!!!!!!!!!!
I have to see this when its done!

Hey all,
I've been arounfd for about 2-3 years and loved everyday..... but my celi has got to the point where it is worth buying a newer or different car. (ie: MR2, Celica GT (6GC), or Supra???) I got in a hit and run but the neighbhors had a video camera on the street and I caught the whole thing. AWESOME! BUT car was considered totaled. I won't lie cause I'm a good guy and why lie to yours friends... the car is in $hiTTY shape. Heres a list of stuff...
Front car damage: Needs both fenders replaced or worked on in shop (one will most likely need to be replaced due to amount of damage) hood needs replacing as well as the bumper, but I have a unpaited one I got last year just never got around to it. It has all the headlights though so thats a good $250+ I spent.
Drivers side damage: Door has three dents and some scratches, and rear quarter panel is F-ed up and my dad pushed it back out.
Passenger side damage: rear quarter panel has minor damage.
It needs some new interior lights but I plan on replacing them so no worries there.
OK NOW FOR THE GOOD!
The engine was rebuilt 3 months ago and has less than 3000 miles on it and was CORRECTLY broken in. It has been on Mobile 1 since 1500 miles. It also has new wiring, carpet, shift boot, radio (stock), and airbags! (it needs sensors and a new computer to operate them)
It has new rotors and pads in front and new pads in back, new bearings in front, new transmision fluid, new oil seals on axels since the engine rebuild.
I'm asking $1500 cause of the brand new engine but will sell it here for $1000 Firm

Thank You,

*EDIT* This include brand new directional snow tires worth $300 for the rubber and rims from a celi convertable and my old beatup rims so three sets of rims and one great set of tires (less than 750 miles on them).

So my car got hit and run but !LUCKILY! the next door neighbor had a video camera due to a robery so I caught it all on tape!!! So I was looking for a 6gc but couldn't find one around here that was in good shape. So I bought a Matrix XR 2wd. I wanted a AWD but it was auto and I love stick and this was a great deal. I got a 04 Matrix XR with 23200 miles for 16330 after taxes it blue books for 16995 Im happy. And the best part is that I didn't need a cosigner so my credit is going to be great.

PS I am going to keep the celi for a project car!!! I will keep you up to date.

My first was 45 in a 35 that was reduced to 40 in a 35 and it cost $72
my second was 45 in a 10 and it cost $490 reduced to $275 and got it pbj'ed
My last one was 68 in a 50 and it was a construction zone but I got a lawyer and it went to expired tabs and cost me a total of $400 but it was way worth it cuz my insurance would kill me!
tj

find a wrecked one in a wreking yard or see if you can take it to someone to get it rebuilt
tj

Add nik for a perfect distributer and pimped6gen for a clean headlight!
tj

I may have one with only 2000 miles on it soon with a 500 and 1000 mile non adative breakin and only 400-500 with mobile 1. (my car got hit. hit and run probably totalled) But if I can keep it I might. If not I need a reliable daily driver.
TJ

Ok my celi was out of commision for about a week, about a 2 weeks ago. The problem I thought and it fixed it untill now was the distributer was bad. But its hapening again. But if I let the car sit for a while 2+ hours it will start and run fine for about 15 min then it starts to studder and die if it is just idleing. So if you gat any ideas I am going to get rid of it.

Another thing If i got a big dent due to a hit and run, right in front of my rear wheel well would that total it. Cause I caught the guy!!!!
TJ

Working at a docs house, on his ethernet and my car got hit and run. Had to be some one that left his drive way and I suspect this heating guy that left 30 min befor some one saw it. I got alot of work to do today, thats for sure!
Now my car has to get a new bumper, hood, both fenders and body work behind the door in fron of the wheel well! damnit!
TJ

I respect cops yes...but I also respect lawyers. I got off for about 400 total and there was nothing on my insurance. SWEET!

will do
tj

It was the distributer. Got one from Nik and it worked great. THANX NIK!!!!
TJ

any one?
I think I need a distributer.

History:
Car started to not start a week ago sparadically and I din't think much of it. (figure my battery was dieing due to a previous electrical short that i fixed) Then the problem got worse and worse. (wouldn't start for a long time) Finally the car died on me while driving it and wouldn't start even with a jump. So I take it to a shop and they conclude that my injectors are not firing and say that its electrical.

Today:
I take the fuel rail off and find that yes there is gas. Injectors are sent some elctricity while trying to start up. (my V/ohm/Amp reader jumps from 0V to about .015-.025V DC in firing sequence). I know that I am getting spark because I took out the 1st spark plug and checked. It was also dry hence no fuel in the chamber. I ruled out ice due to parking it in the garage in above 0C temp over night.

Here is the weird part the distributer is making a spark clicking sound and yes the spark plug (which ever one the distributer is on) sparks very fast when the key is on but not in the start position. So I think it is a bad distributer or coil or something that may be robbing Voltage from the injectors. What do you guys think?

ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
Thank You

Are you getting air? Fuel? Spark? these are some major questions to ask your self/car......
