You probably shorted the alternator too. The charging system is not working. Try a different alternator.

I'd suggest you check the 100amp fuse. It is on the main fusebox on driver side bay. You'd have to unscrew the box because the 100amp fuse is screwed in.

Back then, I accidentally shorted the system while changing the alternator. The car will start but not lights, no electricals.

I will try to join next year!

Just got my celica registered again, after 6 years in the garage!

New year, who is dis?

Much appreciated!

Check under the seat if there's a module. If it does, you just need the remote then.

No, nothing of that sort. Never touched the cats. Only heard that issue happening is on the 1zzfe mr2 spyders. The only thing that I had a bad experience is that the valve cover gasket went bad, oil got into the spark plugs and had a misfire. After fixing that, everything was good.

Main things that I did was change oil every 3k, castrol gtx high mileage. Seafoam every 6 months and change the coolant every 2 years. Warm up the engine on very cold days at least for 5 minutes. I hope this helps

Sell your car and buy a hatch. It is cheaper that way

I haven't replaced my fuel pumps. For the timing belt, I did it 2x since I drive a lot, every 90K miles.

Thanks!

Also did a cross country trip when I moved from CA to MI. 300k miles at that time.

343K miles
Stock engine, all original

But nobody sits in the backseat

I bought an iM, drove it for 3 weeks and decided to take the celica for a spin. Felt like it had a short shifter and performance clutch lol

any DTC code?

Like what Bitter said, synthetic is better but stick to recommended OCI.

Taken from Mobil1:

Mobil 1 High Mileage - synthetic
If you’re unsure about the maintenance history of your vehicle, then Mobil 1™ High Mileage synthetic motor oil is the best choice. Why? This high mileage oil contains a higher base oil viscosity to help reduce leaks and provide better high temperature protection. Mobil 1 High Mileage also provides unsurpassed wear protection of critical engine components. Plus, if your engine contains excessive sludge deposits due to less-than-adequate maintenance practices, this high mileage oil can help by reducing this sludge.

Mobil Super High Mileage - synthetic blend
If you know your vehicle has received regular oil changes at the manufacturer’s suggested intervals, then Mobil Super™ High Mileage conventional motor oil is a great choice. Why? This high mileage oil contains seal conditioners to help prevent leaks and control oil consumption.

Keeping your vehicle well maintained and running smoothly is the key to a longer lasting engine. And as drivers hang on to their aging cars and trucks, perhaps much longer than originally planned, it becomes even more important to give them the care they need. Your older engine might require you to spend more time in the driveway with your hood propped up, but your careful attention can add many more miles to your vehicle’s life, even well into its senior years.

I've been using Castrol High Mileage gtx (synthetic blend), OCI at 4k miles with seafoam treatment - engine at 338K miles


Oh and I just found out that when I had my axles replaced, my tranny has been running on 10w-30 until now. I haven't bothered to change it back to 75w-90 - don't do this

Well it's just the brand name, big deal.

I replaced mine by a shop 4 months ago and they already crapped out twice. No idea where they got the part but at least they replaced it under warranty. This will be the 3rd replacement for this year and I'd like to get it right this time before it snows.

I've read mixed reviews about Cardone but I guess they work okay on our cars based on you guys' feedback. Anyway, does anybody have experience with raxles? They are pricey but lots of good reviews from other cars.

Any brand recommendations for axles other than OEM? Thanks

If your oil level is good, maybe check if you're leaking transmission oil?

How much shipping for the strut tower bar to M6A 1X5?

Welcome back! I think I'm digging the GTI lol

You should have kept the celi, it looks clean!

Does it throw out a CEL code?

When you get your new wheels, sell me the old ones lol

It should be on the stickies.
