6G Celicas Forums

Hello everybody

In next few weeks I'm doing service on my 1996 Celica ST202 with 3S-GE engine after 200 000 km. Does anybody know which parts do I need to change beside timing belt and two idler pulleys?
What about water pump and timing belt tensioner? Should I check if oil pump is OK too?

Thank you for help.

BTW, if anyone knows a great place to buy theese service parts (genuine Toyota prefered), let me know

Question: If I have faulty water temperature sensor, could water temperature gauge work properly, but not system for cold start?

I don't think this is the problem because I'm talking about 3rd gen 3s-ge without vvti

Hello guys.

I have a little problem with my 1996 ST202. When car is cold and outer temperatures are under 10 degress celsius (50 fahrenheit) car normally start and runs aroud 800-900 rpm. Then I drive a little, but when I stop at first traffic lights, engine dies and dificulty starts again and doesn't want to run on idle. After some more driving, when engine warms up, everything is back to normal. What may be the problem, air temperature sensor maybe? I have no idea how cold start system works on this car, but when engine is cold it should run around 1500 rpm until it warms up.

Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
