Picked up my first 1995 Celica GT today and after driving it for awhile it really seems to fall on it's face after about 5000RPM.........any ideas why it's doing that? Fuel pump? Bad intake? Injectors? First thing tomorrow I'm removing the intake and cleaning the TB and the intake filter and then a full tank of 93 octane. I'll probably check the spark plugs/gaps while I'm in there, anyone know what the stock gap should be? Only mods it has are a DIY intake and a full catback exhaust.

the 5sfe is useless after about 5200 rpm. check the dyno threads stickied at the top to see for yourself. it can be corrected with a set of reground cams. i've noticed a little difference in acceleration after putting in the ebay header, but no documentation for that.
 the only difference premium fuel will make is in your wallet, but thats your decision... -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out. QUOTE Ferdi says (11:29) No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings. |

I found in my civic that i got better MPG and the car ran smoother on premium, would the same not be true with my Celica? It does already have 285,000km(177,090miles) and that alone I figure would make it worth while to run premium. -------------------- 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS Turbo "Torque Monkey" SOLD
