thanks for the help

Actually I do notice a bit of a wobble n left turns..and hitting some bumps that wheel vibrates a bit more than it should..

Yeah its only the rotor that moves... no play on the tie rod ends though i've already bought em so might as well replace them...i just know about 65-70 my steering starts vibrating, i had new tires and balanced about 3 weeks ago.. havent had alignment yet so maybe thats part of my vibration problem...not sure
thanks

Hello, recently went to replace my tie rod ends...removed the wheels and found that they had no play in them at all but my driver side rotor wobbles..about 1cm of give each way...is this a wheel bearing problem? If so how difficult to replace? I have most of the tools needed and like to do my own repairs... thanks in advance for any help.

Not lowered yet, megan racing coilovers on the way though...my old struts were simply shot(rattling, springs worn from previous owners HUGE subwoofer box) so i replaced em with my 5th gen struts for the time being. I was thinking if i can simply adjust the cambers i might as well wait for alignment until i've installed the coilovers... thoughts?

I think i can do that myself, no? Thanks for the quick response ill give that a shot. Just replaced the rear struts today(with used ones) and I figure that's where i messed it up.
thanks

Will alignment fix this problem?? The tires are both slightly tilted inward towards the top..not majorly but surely enough to cause extra wear on the inner part of the tires. Just wondering if alignment may be the problem!?
thanks

Well I just replaced the distributor a few days ago. So that could be a problem. No one with a lab scope that i know offhand... probably just have to drop by a mechanic again(ugh)! Thanks for the tip

Hello,
ok my 94 gt which I've recently replaced about everything aside from the tranny/clutch/fuel pump, idles normal(7-800 rpms) but sometimes drops to about 400 rpms and almost dies. It does this without a fan kicking on or AC so not sure what the deal is. Also when I floor it, first gear, tires spin bla bla but at about 4500-5000 rpms the engine sounds fine but it feels like all accelerating power is lost until i switch into 2nd. Maybe its just my mind on the power loss scaring me!!! any thoughts appreciated.
edit** maybe the low rpms on occasion is my TPS? if so anyway to adjust or have to buy a new one?

Okay so i just bought a new distributor because my old one was shot(hopefully the source of all my problems) I cant seem to get the new one back flush against the block(has about 2 centimeters) my old one fit flush and my 92 gts's distributor fits flush against the block. Does it need to be "tapped" in lightly??? I'm most certain that it is lined up properly. Thanks for your time

I only got the distributor cap and rotor. Fuel pump is about 140 and ignition coil like 40 so im hoping its the coil. I actually took my car to a toyota dealership earlier this week for a "diagnosis" for 60 bucks and they told me nothing was wrong with it(error) so i dont feel like doing that again. I have no way of checking the timing myself sadly woohoo.

I replaced wires, plugs, distributor, rotor, fuel filter, tested the fuel pump by bridging the terminals in the diagnostic port, i heard it fine. There was no error code when i bridged the te1 and e1 terminal. Car stuttered and died last night, would not start again until this morning...then i went to buy new plug wires, came back installed them and the car would not restart. I've changed everything aside from the fuel pump. When the car is idling(when it was running) it stutters barely, but when you give it half or full throttle it will kill the engine if you do not let up. It also seems to be backfiring through the intake. Any thoughts are appreciated. One more thing is i havent checked the fuel injectors. ONE more thing, i was browsing and saw a post about an ignition coil causing somewhat similar problems(aside from stutter) maybe that as well???

Kansas City's broke down celica crew WOOT!!!

I'll give that a go this evening. Hoping that's all that it is. Just strange my last 2 celica's went 200K miles w/o needing a fuel pump(unless prior to my purchase)

I recently replaced my plugs/wires/distributor cap and rotor because my car was stuttering at lower rpms(2500 and lower in higher gears) it was running fine for about 2 days and then started stuttering at those rpms again(i could be going 45 in 5th and would just stutter like mad) so i pull up to my friends house, it dies and wouldnt restart. Simply turn over w/o starting. I know most cars you can hear the fuel pump when you turn the key to ac power. I couldnt hear it and took it almost all the way out turning the power on and still couldnt hear it turn on at all. Do you think the problem is the pump? Let me know your thoughts.
Also, earlier today i did the seafoam treatment, it went fine, i used only about 1/3 of a can. I drove it for at least 20 miles after that before this happened. Could that have caused anything?

Ill give the wires a shot. Though I feel teh plugs are fine. I purchased ngk iridiums. Didnt mess the with plug gapping at all though. Going to replaced the wires and run some seafoam through it this evening and see if that works.
Thanks

I was driving my celica yesterday and it started stuttering going down the highway. I checked the distributor and rotor..both were in terrible condition so i replaced them. That did not work so i went on to check the plugs... the 1 and 4 cylinder plugs had oil on them. I replaced the tube seals and bought new plugs. The car ran fine for about and hour and then started stuttering again. At low rpms the stutter is hardly noticeable. But as I accelerate or cruise down the highway I can easily tell it's stuttering. I'm trying to keep myself from taking it to the toyota dealership and dropping a ton of money on it that way. Any ideas?


thanks
