Alright, so here's the deal:
For the past couple weeks my '96 Celica GT (manual trans, 10K on rebuilt motor), started bucking/hesitating during driving (mainly highway @ 65-70 mph). It would do this here and there and even when at a constant speed but mainly during speed gain and especially over 3K rpm. About 2 and 1/2 weeks ago I heard a rapid clicking in my engine bay and found the #4 wire connector-to-dist. cap partially disconnected. I guess it was arching or something. Anyway, I pushed it in all the way and then the bucking and hesitation came on. SO...gave my car a new set of wires, plugs, cap, and rotor. Started it up and it ran good for about 3 minutes at idle and THEN DIED!! The intake which is a SRI intake kept cutting out (its hissing kept stopping) before it died. What is going on??? Check engine light came on to (first time in months). UPDATE: I just went out to re-check the wires and order which is confirmed, all good. BUT, I started the engine and then I heard a strange clicking noise near the t-belt and I decided to open the valve cover cap and the tone changed (engine sounded deeper inside the head (with the cap off) and oil was sputtering on my hand like spray. No clue what's up here... This post has been edited by 6G96GT: Aug 5, 2011 - 7:44 PM |
