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 .

Here's some ideas...leaky ecu?? Improper A/F (do some 3rd gear pulls at the dyno...see what's going on). Are you using a reputable wideband 02 sensor for the tuning or just stock for your readings? What about a boost leak test?? You should probably go to a pro shop and have them check your oil pressure at the cyl-head and see what it's running at when under mid-high throttle.
