Picked up another celica today! However it needs work...a lot of work. I am trying to get this one running and make it my daily driver so I can prepare the 95 vert for the 3sgte swap.
Anyways, here is the story behind this celica...apparently the engine was sputtering over 45MPH so this lady was having her (crazy) fiance work on it. Things ended badly and he didnt want her driving the car so he unplugged and did god knows what to every wire in the engine. I will try to post pictures tomorrow. I am familiar with 5s engine, but the 7A seems foreign to me. The celica is a 1994 GT the 7a, however the engine was replaced with a 1996 7a engine and tranny. I tried starting it today, but the starter would not engaged. The lady stated it had started before. This post has been edited by m2736185: Feb 20, 2012 - 9:42 PM |

I'd venture a guess that the fuel pump wasn't getting power so they ghetto rigged it.
run the vin, make sure that didn't have a 5S engine in it originally or something, I've never seen any 7A with external coil. -------------------- |

Yea, its an odd case I thought every GT came with the 5s. The trunk says GT the hood says 7A, but the rear also has drum brakes. The vin Reads JT2AT...i believe thats a 5s Vin Ohhh that makes sense. Yea, the fuel pump was rigged to one of the fuse panels, but I ripped outt he wire and it still starts so I guess the fuel pump isnt the problem Yea, I think #6 went to the old distro. It musta been the ground or something, but the new one doesnt have a spot for it. Hopefully, I can find a 7A in the junkyard. Can someone confirm this the 7A changed in 95 so if its a 94 with a 96 motor I will need to look for a harness from a 7a 95+? This post has been edited by m2736185: Feb 21, 2012 - 9:37 PM |
