Alright 6gc, I tried using the search, and really couldn't find anything.
My celica is acting really weird. Whenever I drive it, the revs randomly rise and fall really speradically. Its really inconsistant, and when they go up and down, the whoel car jerks, almost like when someone is lerning to drive 5 speed. At first I thought it was my clutch slipping on the flywheel, but then my dad checked it out and thought it seemed for electrical. Then my buddy checked it ou and said it was my distributor and that I should change my cap and rotor. So I changed my cap and rotor, and its still got the problem. I really don't know what to do, its my daily driver, and its to the point where it barely drives becasue I don't want to damage anything else. I took a video on my phone, to give you a better idea of what its doing, I know its real bad quality, but hopefully it'll help.

I"m telling ya, those distributors rarely go bad in that way. Usually they leak oil, but it's going to be your ecu. If it's really intermittent, it is your ecu.

I called up my mechanic and explained the problem, and he said it my be the EGR, does that seem possible? -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

I called up my mechanic and explained the problem, and he said it my be the EGR, does that seem possible? The EGR isn't gonna cause that. I 3rd the ECU thing - D-man had similar problems. Buy Stephen's ECU and be done with it. The ECU is the onboard computer that controls your engine. It is located underneath and forward of the radio - easily accessed from the PS carpet. Just pull the carpet back and you will see a squarish silver box with "5S-FE" printed on it and 3 wire connectors with a sh!tton of wires coming out - that's it.
