Didn't go yet I'm just fixing up and installing a few other little things before I forget it. Plus Im a but broke at the moment but as soon as its done I will update you guys. I'm just nervous and been lagging it oh jeez.

[97cecilia]

Hey guys so I've been driving my celica now for about a week or two at the most however my check engine light came on at it gave me error code P0135 I guess it has to do with the oxygen sensors so I replaced both top oxygen sensors and after replacing them, the car did find for a 30 minute drive but ones I got in again to drive it the check engine light came back on. The weird part is that I did install new oxygen sensors and so I'm not sure what's wrong maybe there is an exhaust leak I'm assuming but we're can it be? Also how do I check or test for my car exhaust le
Please guys help. I really would like now how to resolve my problem

P0135 is heater circuit malfunction. wierd that it came on after all this time. i drove the piss out of the car with no codes.

look on youtube for videos on how to troubleshoot it. eric the car guy has a good video on them. if you cant figure it out, bring it by and ill take a look at it

One of the O2 sensors had no resistance and i was thinking that to be the problem however after going to carquest and getting it exchanged it still showed the engine light. I did reset the ecu but even then nothing happened the check engine light still on. My next steps will be to remove both O2 sensors and take them back to carquest amd have them order the OEM ones Denso i believe they are, much more expensive but i think thats the problem since my 7afe gave me the same problem when i installed a cheap O2 sensor on it. By the way the brand of the O2 sensors i purchased are red line.

Oh yea one more thing smaay if that dont fix it i can come over this week coming up and we can also discuss the sell pf the 7afe motor you removed frm my car i have a buyer here in bakersfield CA. Let me knpw what you think?

P.s car is fast, fasy, fast fun to drive it takes lots of cars frpm chevy Silverado to Chrysler 300, Mazda's and of course Honda's lol its beautiful

[Smaay]

Yes you need OEM sensors, dont get cheap knock off's.

[97cecilia]

I got the OEM sensor's and will be installing them ones I install the new upgraded front and rear motor Mount inserts I got them from BRD Brooks Racing. I've also been thinking of making it a rear wheel drive V6 I know I'll have to spend another 6K but I'm willing to do that. I should have the money for that pretty soon. I'm back

[97cecilia]

I'm not sure if you remember smaay but the rear manifold oxygen sensor keeps hitting the axle and that's what cause's my check engine light to come up. So I've been driving it with the light on. Ones I install the new motor mount inserts I'll let you know what happens are you OK with taking on a rear wheel conversion? Lol I shall be able to do that soon of course car needs to be bard first lol so let me get that out the way and then we can jump on to that? This car is my baby and by the time I'm done with it its probably going to be a classic lol

Nice car man I'm glad smaay can help you good work you guys! You are inspiring many!

Smaay, Do you need the manual ex manifold for the swap in a GT? I was reading the swap tread of bnr32celica, Man is he just a dumb ass or does this project take 60 days to complete? Also should the brakes be upgraded for this swap?

yes i covered that above, you need the manual manifolds because the auto hits the trans in the back and the front has a pre CAT in it.

[doory100]

But realistically I can get away with just the rear manifold, Right?

[Smaay]

no that one hits the transmission and will rub on the shift cables

[doory100]

I'm confused. I need to replace the rear manifold with a manual manifold. This I know alrady. And why would I need to replace the front manifold with a manual one?

[doory100]

Sorry what I meant was that I can get away with only purchasing the rear manifold. The front one is not a issue unless I need the cat.

Will a 1991 Lexus es flywheel work on a 99 Solara 1mz?

[doory100]

What would happen if i did not use this non return style fuel pump configuration? can i use any regulator or is their a specific one?


Here is the fuel pump assembly, to turn the system into a non-return style, you put a T in the feed line and run it through this regulator that is inside the Camry/Solara fuel tank.

this configuration was used to meet California SMOG requirement. This is how the 97 Camry fuel system is. you are free to do whatever will work.

When I first did the car, i converted my fuel rails to use an external fuel pressure regulator. this wouldnt pass SMOG visual inspection. yeah it sucks here in CA

[doory100]

In Ontario Canada all that is needed is that your check engine light is off and you will pass a etest on a OBD 2 equipped vehicle. You can have all but 1 system not ready and you'll pass. Pretty easy to get passed even if you have a issue.

What did you use for the y pipe?
