Hi Folks,
Just picked up a 97 celica 1.8 st for a bargin on Sunday. Very chuffed with the car, runs pretty well. Going to get the wheels off this weekend and pop it on the ramps to have a look. However, i have noticed a few small things which I hope someone can give advise on as I have never really had an EFI mottor before. 1. This morning when starting cold, the car idles around 2k rpm (not for long) and then gradulay reduces back to 840/860 rpm. 2. When the car diles, their is a small ticking which reduces as the revis pick up. It doesn't sound like the tappets, but just a faint ticking noise? 3. I have red about resetting the air/fuel mix b y taking the fuses out etc. i take it, that the old negative off the battery for an hour does not reset it, as I think it was sitting for about 6 months without moving. 4. Is their anything I should look out for or inspect right away on the 7AFE engine?. its done 140k however the engine bay and engine is really clean. Any advice would be appricated. many thanks |

You've just summed up my life so perfectly.... Truthfully, I'm at work right now, surfing the web for the best deal on flywheel bolts. The car looks great! I like the rear shot.
