Sounds more like you have a tank of bad fuel, maybe some water in the gas, put a bottle of Heet or some other gas line dryer through it...and did you change the plug wires recently???

Hehe... OBDII works the same on almost all cars... so you're no exception... unless your car is pre OBDII... =P

We may have a wiener!

friends can be so annoying sometimes, I feel your pain.

When you replace the wires, check the coil, mine went a couple years ago and had the same symptoms.

Good luck

you don't know what you're talking about toyotech, the bosch +4's are a very good match for our GT ignitions, very high voltage, pre-gapped, works wonderful. I havn't had ONE problem in either of my celica's with these, and that's all i ran in them, unless have a smoother ride is a problem. And the Coil comment, just go ahead and check that now, i was having a rough idle, and i found my coil had a nice, positivily charged gunk stuck to it. It should be smooth and shiny, also, check for cracks in the distributer.

obd1, B18C1 swap into 2nd gen teg converted from the obd0 of the b18

obd2? pfffftttt who needs it!

as to the wires--ahahah no. my old accord had original wires w/ 300k miles on em and it was like 18 years old.. wires wouldnt be causing probs in a 8 year old toyota.

adam-GO CHECK THE THINGS I TOLD YOU! or go read your damn book, you gotta buy a beater and learn about engines.. tear it apart and trying putting it backtogether.. if it doesnt start up, you did somethin wrong.

oh and lastly, 2 things.. 1. is the plugs platinum? and 2. the stock celicas is sleeved, not cast iron right? plat plugs can be bitches in some engines.. i know for example honda b-series engines + plat. plugs = weak spark/no spark/early death of plugs

definetly replace the wires. before I hit 100k miles my car was running rough and performance was just poor. I replaced all normal maintenance stuff. cap, rotor, plugs, filters, etc. Wires didn't look bad or anything and I couldn't see them arcing or anything to make me think they were the problem. I eventually replaced them and it fixed the rough idling and poor performance. I would definetly give it a try
