Hello everyone,
I have a 1998 Celica GT auto with the 5sfe engine and I was merging on the highway so I decided to floor it but when it got to the 4000 rpm I heard a loud "pop" from the engine bay. Sounds like it came from the intake. Plus, it wouldn't shift and seem like it was hitting the rev limiter. So I wanted to see if anyone can help me with that.

Mods: Injen short ram intake and custom 2.25 exhaust.

This may have happened for several different reasons:
Timing
Timing belt issue
Weak fuel pump
Low fuel pressure
Incorrect air/fuel ratio
Bad catalytic converter
Bad or cracked spark plug
Bad injector(s)
If it was my situation i would do all the inexpensive things first:
Check fuel pressure at speed and hi rpm
Check spark plugs for cracked porcelin and gap
How old is the timing belt


--------------------
94 GT only mods planned are suspension and wheels
