So heres the thing, about a week ago she stared to idle kind of funny, not really a rough idle but definately different than normal, the closest thing i can compare it too is sounding like a boxer engine.
Anyone else have this issue or tell me whats going on? On a side note, oil was changed recently, she has new platnum plugs, new wires, its in the right firing order, new belts etc, i take good car of this car. Someone help -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica Project Mean Green

I had my coil start to go, and symptoms were slightly rough idle, and random misfires under certain engine loads, nothing definate or constant.
You can also try to clean out your throttle body and IAC valve. take it off&apart and use brake/carb cleaner to get it all clean.. makes the old 7As run much better BTW this is stephen_lee, not DEATH vvv [This is DE@TH] vvv When MY coil went I couldn't run anything higher than 3K RPMs once the car got warm and it was very constant We need more help with your symptoms to help you BTW - A tuneup is incomplete and you haven't really done much for it untill you change your cap and rotor. They really can effect performance on these engines. I've been known to change my plugs every 6mos and my Cap and rotor every 3mos [When I'm being OCD about it]. Wires I let go usually a year or two but I buy TRD wires and they aren't easy to find and last long. And only OEM will do on the C&R. Parts house cap and rotors run like old OEM ones - the price difference is negligible anyway.
