Hey all, I went to start my 95 Celica this morning and it runs like it's using 2 cylinders and is struggling to idle. I have a raspy sound from the catalytic converter when you accelerated, so I'm thinking that the Cat has given up the ghost. Can anyone confirm that this would likely be the problem? the Celica has only done 137000km but I'm going to get the Cat replaced tomorrow, so I'm hoping that will solve the issue, especially when it drove flawlessly the night before.
Cheers J |

O.k, replaced with new unit, cleaned throttle body, still idles rough, and after a bit of smoke clears, it's still idling rough. When I go to start it, it seems to back fire/pressure then after second start, it goes into rough idling. It's got me stuffed as I haven't had much experience with EFI, it's almost like the distributor was moved and the timing is not quite right. Any suggestions all?
Oh, if it helps, I did a minor service, oil/filter and air filter, I also put in some injector cleaner (wynns) in the tank, maybe that has unsettled some fine matter in the tank and has blocked the EFI baskets? Or, the only thing I can think of, would be the crank angle sensor. J This post has been edited by Justin73: Aug 21, 2013 - 5:09 PM |
