so i need some help on this one today my girlfriend was driving my celica, it ran fine all day until she stopped and shut the car off for 15 minutes , she gets back in and the car wont start, just cranks over. after about five minutes bam the car starts and runs fine. She get its back here and i take a look at it . its running fine no knock. purring like it always does. so i shut it off, and guess what happened 20 minutes later . wont start . so i wait about a minute try again and it starts up. so i pop the hood and start looking around to see what going on. I found that the spark plug wires had **** the bed so changed them. then i decided to change the oil. and i found metal particles in the oil.
![]() ![]() Could these to things be related and what could be the metal in the oil. keep in mind the cars oil pressure never drops below 25 psi when running, it has no knock what so ever. and it idle at round 5-700 rpm. it sounds to me like im chewing up a rod bearing, or main bearing, but it dosent show any other symptoms but these .

Sounds like some more of the usual BS from haters who can't afford synthetic. I've never heard that. I didn't have such great luck with synthetic, I switched back to castrol. It may have been coicidence but I started going through oil fast, the 97 st motor seems notorious for that. It may have had nothing to do with synthetic oil and may just be valve guides, but I figure why keep pouring 6 dollars in every 1500 miles pour 3 instead. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.
