My husband was driving the celica home from work this morning and the engine finally gave out. Been having the probable clattering rod knock type noise since we got it 5 months ago, but he said it got louder on the freeway about 6 miles from our house, then about 1 mile from the house it blew a big puff of smoke, dumped a bunch of oil and died.
So we were planning on a rebuild anyways, but I'm not totally sure if it has thrown a rod or not. Almost sounds like something else...but I suppose we won't know until it gets torn down. -------------------- 2004 Celica GT-2zz w/6-speed swap
