  5. Celica Problem

    in General Mechanical

    Posted

    here you go this iswhat it doing,

     

    I have a 1989 Celica (auto) that has had a major problem for the last 6 months. We have tried everything so thought we would give this a try as a last resort!

     

    Basically the sympton is whenever you try to accelerate, take off etc, there is a delay - around 5- 10 seconds to gain any speed at all, ! It also coughs and splutters when doing so.

    It basically feels like a dead spot, somewhere between 1000 and 2500 revs.

     

    So far, we have changed, gearbox, ECU, wiring loom, TVIS, Injector Manifold, throtle body, Airflow meter, Fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, ignition leads and spark plugs.

     

    Please let us know if anyone has ever had this problem or can offer any advice as to what to do next!

     

    Thanks!

    I got myself a casual job about the end of the year (2002) when I was in year 11

    at school, I had my motor bike licence and a motor bike sence may 2001, so when

    I got the job I sold my bike ($2500) and got my first ke30 (old red) for about $700

    and the rest of the money got me 15", stereo, lowerd, alarm and centrel locking.

    having to much time on my hands, I did a custom boot install and dash, also

    handy having a brother that works at car accessory installs in launceston/tas.

    I guess that got me started.

     

    dads a machanic and we have a nice beg shed at home with all the stuff you needed.

    then I had alwase wanted a ke30 2door, then I heard about one that mite be for sale

    around home, I sort of knew the guy and I ended up getting it for $700, it had a 2T

    with a bit worked in it and had just been respraded (cops i think) but only a weeks

    rego, it fluw comperd to the 4k. so having a weeks rego I put it in my red one and the

    2door is sitting home on a trailer totaly gutted.

     

    I seen a white ke30 4door in a car yard one day so i went in and had a look, it was the

    neatest ke30 i had ever seen and so i wanted it. it was $2200 and was a one owner car,

    every one said 'don't get another one' until they seen it, so I lined the old red one up to

    sell with (bar the 2t and gearbox) and got it for $1700.

     

    I don't think I will ever sell my 2 ke30.

    beeing at the near end of doing a 2 year full time diploma course in fine funiture, I can't

    wate to go out and get a full time job so I can start doing up the ke30 2door.

    I would rather spend money on a ke30 rather then a nissan 180 or something.

     

    I guess the ke30's are a realy good car, I love the things
