so basically i have a 94 celica, 2.2, 5 speed hoping to do a 3sge but Im still working on getting some of the wiring together before I jump into this.... but first comes first Im using this car as a daily driver right now and Im stumped.... the car runs amazing at idle and low RPMs but as soon as i get up to 4800rpms the car bogs down and falls right on its face in every gear 1st-5th... ive done spark plugs, ignitor, wiries, cap, rotor then new distributor. This pretty much happened out of no where one day it was fine the next day it started to do this. Ive taken it to toyota lol they told me my cat may be clogged so thinking they are the professional i listened to them and guess what? they were wrong.... the timing is the only thing i can possibly think of but i dont want to take it all apart and that not be the problem... any ideas would be greatly appreciated.... while you guys try to help me out im going to do more research on your site about the 3sge wiring. I work at a performance shop so doing the swap isnt hard we put v6's in 92-95 civic hatches so Im sure we can figure out this wiring but still need a little help. thanks in advanced!

check fuel pressure. Has the fuel filter been changed recently? If not, disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect. That will reset your ecu. it sounds like a fuel problem to me though.

no offense.... but why do you need to go over 4800rpms in a US celica? lol dont beat ur engine, buy a 3s, sell your "not beat" engine, make a 1/4 of ur money back lol.
But any how i do agree that its odd it wont exceed 4800, although I dont think our (or at least my ST) powerband has much power past there... so just shift
