Outrider, I had the same problem when I replaced the dist. cap, rotor and wires on my '96 GT. The sticker on the car indicates federal emissions. And my dealer said that according to the VIN it is federal emissions. But the distributor on my car is CA emission spec. The dist. cap is round and has the 4 spark plug wires and another wire in the center which runs to the external coil located on the firewall. The rotor is round. I can look up the part numbers tonight. In the meantime, could you tell me the part number on the ECU in your car? Thanks.

Thanks 97GTinKC. Yes, the production date indicated on my car is 9/95. I am aware of the TSB. My car behaves exactly as described in the TSB - at slight throttle openings and light loads, such as when going downhill, the engine bucks and surges as if it can’t decide whether to accelerate or decelerate. It drives me nuts. Unfortunately the ECU that I have is not one of the part numbers listed in the TSB as eligible for the improved ECU. Even if it was, the car is way beyond the warranty period. I found an ECU from a '98 GT (5sfe, MT, fed, etc.) for less than the prices indicated at the link. Anyone here know if an ECU from a '98 would work in my car? The wiring diagram, etc. in my shop manual appears to be the same for '96-'99 (OBD-II, etc.). Anybody?

Hey all. I have a '96 'vert with a 5sfe and manual transmission. I am not the original owner. The car has this ECU 89661-2D410. The local dealer says this ECU is not spec'd for the Celica. Could all you 6th Gen. GT owners with manual transmissions respond with the part number of the ECU in your car? Also the model year and whether it is Federal or Calif emissions. Thanks.

After you get the window back on track, you may want to have a look at the switch that raises/lowers the window. I have a 96 conv. and about a year ago the right rear window began giving me trouble. The window wouldn't always raise and/or lower unless I pushed the switch several times, but then it stopped working altogether (in the lowered position, of course!).
I removed the trim around the shifter, then removed and disassembled the switch and cleaned the contacts with an electrical contact cleaner spray. I found a lot of gook inside the switch. While I was at it, I also cleaned the switch for the left rear window and the switch that raises/lowers the conv. top. It took me less than an hour.
