hi there guys,
When my celica is turned on from cold, the accelerator peddle seems to be blocked/stuck. I am not able to gentley press it. I have to push it hard with my foot and then the acceleration peddle becomes smooth. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is it a throttle pump? |

A quick squirt of carb cleaner will fix it temporarily - a better way to fix it would be to use the Carb cleaner and a red rag and get it all nice and clean again. The others above were correct and being more thorough than I but I've had this exact problem on several Celicas and it was always what I described.  Actually that's impossible. Toyota coated the inside of the throttle bodies with a special Teflon polymer that doesn't allow sludge and oil residue to stick. Ok, I'm just bulls h i t t ing you, that's probably what it is.  I just like to cover all the bases [if I can]. --------------------  |
