update 12/6 Car is running great! Thanks for all the help, added new knock sensor after fixing wastegate. Knock sensor codes gone as well as CEL is off.
Put on new coil pack, which solved the not re-starting when warm issue. Thanks Again for all the help UPDATE- After reading codes I got Codes 52 and 43 Hi, Well, I have "inherited" my sons Celica problems. Some of you may remember the car. His screen name was Turboman23. It's a 95 Celica with 91 or 92 3sgte (not sure which at the moment). I am trying to work on this with car with pre 1970 Chevy knowledge! Anyways on to the history/problem(s): (Sorry for being so long) He blew the engine. He had the bottom end rebuilt. Dr. Tweak redid his wiring harness. Check Engine light stays on. When we read codes (can't remember number, sometime ago) it said Knock sensor. He refused to drive it, has had my car for a year. I want it back. (sorry had to get it out) I took it to a local import shop, they said they could not pull the codes, and that they had to pull them manually(???) and said the wastegate was bad causing knock sensor to "go off". My son said they were wrong. And refused to work on it did not want to "chase parts" in trying to fixi it. He also said he did not know where to get a wastegate for it or if one was available. It has an internal wastgate. So now to the questions: Can a bad wastegate cause knock sensor code? Any idea where to find one? Price? Other reasons/fixes to correct code being thrown so CEL goes off? Can the car be driven?[size="3"][/size] Thanks for any help, Lee This post has been edited by ibanez6: Dec 6, 2009 - 8:53 AM |

You can find wastegate actuators on mr2oc or try check out our for sale thread. I have one for sale. Yes you have an internal wastegate, but if you remove the vacuum lines from the actuator it will keep closed and cause you to overboost.
Jump e1 to te1 on in your diagnostic box and let use know what you get. Since your son has an electronic boost controller he probably already capped off the factory tvsv, which is the boost controller. So maybe some how oil got into the vacuum lines going to the actuator and boost controller solenoid. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
