				I HATE being the guy who has to start a topic for troublshooting something like this... but here we go. 
			
			
					
		I have a 1994 ST Manual that I've been trying to get back on its feet. Recently its started jerking and stuttering while accelerating. My alternator starting failing so I figured once I got it replaced it would hopefully fix the stuttering. Apparently not, now its worse. Anyone else ever have this problem? I'm 99% sure the alt works fine and that its installed correctly, car still starts and no issues w/ the battery. Also just had the clutch replaced 2 years ago so I really hope that isn't the problem. Any ideas!?  |

			 Suspension wouldn't have anything to do with the car stuttering, now timing on the other hand would. Eh I was figuring it could be why it feels like the wheel is tugging left and right when i turn and such. But yeah I'll be getting the timing belt checked out. Lasted 160k miles. These celicas are built like tanks  |
