I have a 95 Celica GT liftback, 5 spd. The car is normally rev limited at 6.2k, and you can tell when it hits the limiter because it "bounces" off.
So today after driving away from work to go to lunch, I did a U turn because I forgot my wallet, as I sometimes do. And as I sometimes do, I decided to floor it, being out in the middle of nowhere. And then a strange sensation, the car just sort of stopped revving at 5k. And I noticed that the exhaust note was "funny." A little metallic sounding, whereas normally it's just grumbly. There doesn't seem to be any loss of power until you get it up to around 5k. Quick look under the hood, nothing seems off. CEL isn't on. I'm at a loss. |
