Ok, I have 1997 Toyota Celica ST 1.8L limited edition. The car has 184XXX miles on it. The car is a automatic. Starting about three months ago the idle has become low when at running temp. When I'm in stop and go traffic for more then 20 mins I have to drive two footed or the car will die. When it does die it takes about 40 mins before it will start again. There are five codes that come up today when autozone read the codes. Those include: P0401, P0110, P1300, P0120, and P0401 again. The car has had a tune up in the past month(plugs, wires, rotor, cap, didn't get a new fuel filter). Had a oil change about 200 miles ago. I just don't know what is going on with this car. The throttle body has been all cleaned up also. any help would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks, Daniel aka Celica1997 |

I would uninstall that unit and see if the problem goes away. It looks like someone installed it to bypass the rev limiter which of course means they were winding the **** out of the engine which is no good for it so...yea don't buy a modded car.
