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! |

I don't think it's the knock sensor alone. Knock sensors usually don't cause very bad retardation of the timing (from my experience at least)... which would cause a car to limp. Usually, the car will slightly ping if there's a faulty knock sensor... but who knows what exactly. If you're getting knock sensor codes... replace the sensor, reset the ecu, and see if that'll fix anything. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
