Ok, I bought a 95 celica ST with 70,000 miles on it for 500.00 bucks sometime ago. I have installed a custom cold air intake, racing plugs, wires, and a new cap. I have removed the 1st cat and hollowed it out (so if I get pulled over I can show its still there) and have a B5 bomber muffler. I have also just installed my bullet fenders (painted too). I have alot more planned but have run low on cash.
Now my problem.......My check engine light has come on and the car seems to run sluggish. It seems to take a long time to get the car to move. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Im thinking it might be a clogged fuel injector, or fuel filter. Any ideas would be great! |

Check the How-To section on this site for instructions on reading the codes stored in your ECU. Post the results and we should be better able to help.
If you haven't changed the fuel filter in a while, go ahead and do that. You don't know what the previous owner did as far as upkeep, and a new filter can't hurt. |
