My mechanic is having a hard time finding the right part for my '96 GT. He thinks that it is a California-emissions model, and that's making the part harder to find (I think it's the coil.) According to the Experion Autochek I got when I bought it, the car was originally sold in SD and ended up in GA. How can I find out for sure? Is there a VIN list?
Sorry if this is an easy one. I couldn't find the answer. I think my mechanic may just be inept. -------------------- 1996 Celica GT
