So i have purchased a 1994 Toyota Celica ST Hatchback (Automatic) from a friend a week ago, but he's not available now since he moved to another country (which is why he sold it to me). Ive always been into Celica's but never owned one.
Now that i have it, I'm having an issue with a low idle while in anything except park or neutral. Also, this problem does not happen once i start the car. When i start the car, it will run fine and idle at about or a bit under 1K RPM whether in park, reverse, neutral, drive etc... But once i start driving and bring the RPM above 2k, when i stop and idle again, the RPM drop to around 400-600 (sometimes even lower) and the car shakes when its around this rpm and then smooths out when the RPM gets above 2k Any idea what the issue with this could be? I would really love to get this car running well again like when i drove it a year ago or so and it was awesome! There is a short ram intake on the car. But i don't remember if it was on when i drove it a year ago, i don't know if the intake could cause this problem. It has no brand that i can see, so i can add pictures if you would like. Thank you all so much in advance!! |

So I've let the computer reset at what not with the battery off. And glad to say:
Park/neutral AC off: just a hair below 1k Park neutral AC On: around 900rpm In gear, AC off: 700rpm I'm gear AC on: just below 600rpm Here's the awesome part though: the shaking is no longer as bad AND my engine starts almost instantly! Checked out my spark plugs: I'm gonna replace them and the wires with NGK G power plugs and a TE41 wire set. The plugs I found in there looked pretty old and the gap was huge... Hopefully this wire and plug set smooth out my ride. Gotta work on that AC though I don't like how the rpm drops ... IAC is next on my list |

IAC is easy as he'll to clean, I just cleaned it in petrol Lol.... But yeah, 5minute job to remove clean and replace. I might give resetting my ecu another try, but I doubt it's gonna help haha --------------------  ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
