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! |

When I was playing on the internet the other day someone said try putting the best gas in with a additive. So thats what I did. What I was told is there might be a improper mix of air and fuel causing this, and the sensor is fine. So I am going to run her today and see what happens. I am also going to take my intake off and check all the tubes to see if anything is clogged. I also just replaced my PVC and Im wondering if they gave me the wrong one? If I need a new sensor, does anyone have a good place to buy them????? |
