hey everyone i just bought my 6gen celica last sunday, and have to say i love it, much more fun than my saturn POS, but anyways im new to the forum and i have a couple questions for u guys,
1. ive been driving manual for a lil over a year now and with this car im having trouble downshifting into 3rd, iuno even if i should be downshifting but its a habit of mine, anyway, it feels like i have the clutch fully engaged yet when i try to move the gear shifter i get GRINDAGE, anywayz maybe im just not used to the clutch but if anyone has any ideas im all ears. 2. my car has been having trouble idleing when its cold, ill start it up and the rpms will just go up and down nothing to major, id say below 2000 but it just feels like its about to die, unless i give it a lil gas and go, im not sure what the problem is but it only happens when the engine is cold, any ideas? |

1. could be a bad syncro. does it happen when up shifting into 3rd?? or into any other gears up or down?
2. more than likely oyu just need to clean your idle air control valve (IAC) my manual celica idles around 1600-1700 cold. before i cleaned my IAC i had rough idle, but only when it was cold. cleaning it cleared the issue -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
