6G Celicas Forums

Hello everyone, I've had my celi for about 7 months. First had trouble with the EGR Valve, check engine light still comes on with the code for EGR Valve even though it's new. Car randomly doesn't start, you can hear the relay click once but that's it, sometimes it takes a few tries then starts but sometimes it won't start at all. Took her to the mechanic several times, finally this last time they said it was the starter, not too sure about that yet, seems to be alright for now however it now makes a weird noise when I start it, it takes a little while to finally turn over. It kinda sounds like the part needs to be greased badly. I've continually had issues with the idle since I got her. The mechanic who worked on her when I got her said it was vacuum hoses that weren't on correctly. She doesn't idle high all the time usually on really hot days. While driving and pushing the clutch in she stays betweem 2500 & 3000 RPMS, i usually have to "burp" her to bring the RPMs back down to a normal level. Anyone have a clue what I can do to fix her?? or any ideas that might be helpful?

Only the relay clicks once, doesn't do anything else, and it still has power to everything. Been fine for the last couple months then did it again about a week ago but went back to normal

I'm over in Coram, I see tons of celicas out here, hoping to meet up with some fellow owners

New owner, wondering if anyone has had or heard of anyone who has had this problem. I bought it a month and a half ago, a used motor with less miles was put in at the time when I bought it. They put in a new starter, battery and alternator. About a week ago it didn't start, I took it to the mechanic twice, they changed the battery twice. Still having problems with it starting, anyone have a clue?? Think it could possibly be electrical problem.

UPDATE:
Problem seemed to go away on it's own, had no problem starting for about a month and a half; went out again one day, and it had the same problem. Seems to have gone away again. When this happens the relay clicks once and she has power. Seems I'll be playing Russian roulette every time I go out to start her.

Absolutely, I just bought my first celica, would love to meet other owners.
