6G Celicas Forums

i have electrical testers. any ideas on how to test that? like voltage i SHOULD have at the starter when i crank it? thatd be 12 right? suppose i could check the alternator by checking the voltage from the battery while its running? should be about 13.5v if charging correctly right? oh and im not saying that voltage = resistance i know theyre not the same just saying some stuff (i think) i know how to check. i have no clue what the resistance should be.

thanks, do i have to get the contacts from like a toyota dealer? or is there a website i can order from?

i could really use a good oem celica parts website because i also need the washer fluid reservoir and possibly pump (i noticed when i tried to put in washer fluid that it just runs right out onto the ground lol) the pipe extends into nothingness, it was missing when i got the car a few months ago and ive been putting it off, but with winter coming i need to fix it for ice melting purposes.

thanks again

hi. ive been looking at the board for a while but never posted anything till now, here goes.

sometimes when i go to start my car (stock 94 celica st), instead of turning over it just like clicks. itll do it a few times then start just fine. sometimes it will start to turn over then stop, as if the battery is about dead. however, i know this isnt the case because i replaced it first (it tested "weak" on my tester so i thought just maybe...but no luck). the terminals arent dirty/corroded. it acts as though there is a loose connection or as i said, the battery is dieing. also, it seems to do it less when its warmer, in the morning when its still a little chilly outside its way worse. it never does it just after its been running. any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
