Sup guys,
I'm new to the Celica world. Last night I just picked up a '95 GT coupe. 142k miles, 5 speed. It runs really strong from 0-4000 RPM Then above 4k it just stops making power...it just kind of stays there and doesn't pull, and missfires a bit. I have a CEL but have not got it scanned yet. Any ideas what could be making it cut out about 4k rpm? |

24. Flash flash. Pause. Flash flash flash flash. Get it? Two flashes, then four flashes. Not 24 flashes. 2 flashes, then four flashes. 2-4, not 24. It seems confusing until you realize that you aren't waiting for 24 flashes. It's like Morse Code from Toyota.
It's very normal for a Celica to lose power in the top end. All USDM Celicas do that. It's not because of fuel cut or anything like that. It's just called lack of power. But you'd know for a fact if you just ran out of power. It's usually over 5,000 rpm for the 2.2 liter. To lose power at 4,500 is strange. I say clean your injectors, reset your air/fuel ratio, get new spark plugs and wires, and do a tune-up and see where that gets you. You aren't hitting fuel cut at 4,500 rpm. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
