Hi,
I have a newly aquired imported GT. The engine light comes on at 75mph. I could toodle about all day under that speed with no problem, but as soon as I go over the light comes on, but there are no obvious driving or engine probs as such. I've read through some of the forum topics, and this seems to be a bit of a problem for ST's. I had thought it something to do with a former limiter that I was told it had in Japan, which has now been disconnected. However general consensus of opinion seems to be that GT's don't have limiters. Is that the case?? Or do we know of Japanese imports that do? Its the only thing I can think of. I'm gonna have a look at fitting a switch inline as suggested in some posted messages to see if that solves the problem, but I'd welcome any other suggestions. Ruth |

the speed sensor wire has been cut.
it will not affect your car. it only becomes a problem for auto tranny's. a 5spd is controlled by the driver so the ecu doesnt really need to know the speed. the reason the CEL is on is because when the ecu sees that you are in 4th/5th, but cant tell your speed, it throws a CEL. dont worry about it. you could try to reconnect the wire down by the ecu and that will solve the CEL problem. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
