Ok, my car has had a 3800rpm redline. Has since I bought it over a year and a half ago. Got some advice about it, not alot. I dont know what else to do or look for. I finally just got my transmission put back in and started the car (with new ecu this time) and still no rev. I'm tired of my ass slow gt. I'm probblly just going to sell it when i get it all fixed. Or let my girlfriend drive it, well no car deserves that so I'll probablly just sell it and loose a lot of money.

Its a gt. I have had a diagnostics check and the toyota dealership said that i had a bad egr valve. They didnt say anything about an ignitor. That cost $70 i think. So i really dont want to do that again. But do you think thats still it?
Oh, and they told me that it was probablly my egr valve so I bought a new one i think it was $170 at advanced auto, put it on, still no rev

Oh, and they told me that it was probablly my egr valve so I bought a new one i think it was $170 at advanced auto, put it on, still no rev Did the dealer run a diagnostic? They should have been able to tell you the Diagnostic Trouble Codes. It sounds like they didn't help you any by saying your egr valve. Personally I would tell them that I wanted a printout of the codes from the time you they told you it was the egr valve. Without the codes your most likely to spend a of of time chasing opinions. Some may be exactly right. You already know it can get expensive replacing parts. So far your out the money for the egr valve and the price for the visit to the dealer. I’d bring the question to them and ask them to give you the diagnostic codes from the time when they did the “diagnostic”, or give you a reason why you can’t have them. They’re willing to charge for the time they should be able to demostrate why they diagnosed the egr valve when there still is a problem. If there’s a code your time will be better spent. btw. Why do you have a new ecu? Yellow94GT |
