after checking both fans with a battery and they are ok you will have to check if the engine fan starts by itself in order to be sure about the relay, the other fans only come on when A/C is operating, so if you turn on your A/C both fans should be operating.

let us know how it goes

if fans never came on first you have to check fans relay.

The coolant level is OK, I have checked it everyday since this overheating problem started..

both radiator cap and the thermostat are new, however you are right it does not mean they could be broken but with the old cap n thermostat occur the same overheating problem.

i really dont belive that the CTS could be the problem cause driven in the city the temperature always is ok.

what do u think?

Hi guys, i get a 3S-FE in my celica, since many weeks ago i have noticed the following situation: during day by day drivin in the city the temp is Ok it achieve its operating value and it doesnt oscillate, but in weekends when i travel to a near city (about 1hrs of travel) when i have driven many miles @ average speed 90-110mph the temperature begins to oscillate, it behavior is very weird cause suddenly rise at 3/4 of the stock temp gauge and then drop to the middle of the gauge (std temp value) and it happens continuosly but each time it rises higher and higher. I dont know why it happens cause in the city the temp always is OK. I replace the old thermostat, i removed the radiator and it was cleanded with special fluid, the fans works fine, the timing is set @ 14degrees at idle, and then of checking all these things the overheating problem continues.

What do you think about this situation? what can i do? I think it coudl be the camshaft gasket, probably it get burnt.

Hi Guys;

I have a JDM Celica 97, Engine Code: 3S-FE, Chasis Code: ST-202. I've seen many timing belt kit like these one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/87-01-TOYOT...0231076838&

Now my doubt is, is it true that is the same kit for both engines 5SFE and 3SFE? Will this Kit fit on my engine, including the water pump? Because in the second link they show the following engines codes:
87 - 91 TOYOTA CAMRY 2.0L DOHC 16V 3SFE
92 - 01 TOYOTA CAMRY 2.2L DOHC 16V 5SFE
87 - 89 TOYOTA CELICA 2.0L DOHC 16V 3SFE
90 - 99 TOYOTA CELICA 2.2L DOHC 16V 5SFE
90 - 95 TOYOTA MR2 2.2L DOHC 16V 5SFE
99 - 01 TOYOTA SOLARA 2.2L DOHC 16V 5SFE
96 - 00 TOYOTA RAV4 2.0L DOHC 16V 3SFE

But my 3SFE 2.0L/ 1997 isn't show in this list.

Let me know your comments, i'll appreciate your help.

Hi guys;

I get a 6th gen Celica (JDM) ST202, engine code: 3S-FE. Does anyone know if the brake pump - Master cylinder (without ABS) is the same model for the 5S-FE / 7A-FE (USDM) and 3S-FE (JDM)?

let me know your comments,

Hi Guys;

let me know your comments about chip programmers for 6th gen celicas.

thanks,

Yes, this is a 3F-FE! The KYB shown models are AGX GR2

Give me a chance while i get the Toyota p/n from my car, but how will i get the p/n from the others (AT200, ST204)? someone who get those model could help me?

Good Morning Guys!

I am from Venezuela and i get a 6th gen celica but here in Venezuela Toyota only imported the model: ST202 2.0 liters engine code: 3S-FE. since i have read many posts you only have in US the models: AT200/ST204.

This is my situation: i nee to change the shocks (front/rear) but i really dont know if the shocks for AT200/ST204 could be used on my ST202. Does anyone know if these parts meet each other? Could i buy these shocks to be installed in my ST202? could it be fit?

For example: these are the p/n for AT200&ST204:
KYB AGX: 334378, 334379, 334125, 334126.

Monroe: 71557, 71558, 71559, 71560.
