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.

You still dealing with this? BTW, I had no idea that there was a bulletin out on the ECU. Have a friend that had the same problem with his rolla, went to the dealership to swap out ECU (there was a bulletin on it) and it runs fine now.....something bout a poor solder job or some such. But if there is indeed a bulletin on your ECU, get it taken care of.

There is a TSB out on ECM#89661-2D690. Something about fuel or something. Should've paid better attention sorry. lol. It should be replaced with ECM#89661-2D692 on 96-97 Toyota Celica and Camry models with a manual tranny. Idk anyway hopefully one of the techs has one laying around. Hear the shop foreman has a ton locked up in a cabinet at work. I'll let you know man. In the meanwhile I'll be searching" Maybe there is one, maybe there isn't...I don't know for sure off the top of my head, was referencing the 'Rolla one because that was the problem with my friends. But Im gunna guess by your name you would know more than I would when it comes to the bulletins. Being that I dont really feel like paying cash to view all TSB's, I did come across a few for the Celica, but nothing for the ECU. |
