It also when I try to accelerate from a stop position...its bogs down or takes a little bit to catch up .. I had the injectors cleaned when I first bought it. I bought the car April 08...and it was the same then.
They sales person said they just changed the fuel pump..
I would fill my tank and get about 245,000 miles out of ..NOW I can get only about 150,000-160,000
Is there a way for me to have a friend do some of these tests at home with a tool??
MY ENGINE IS 3S-FE
Wheres a free online toyota celica GT site that I can see the service manual???
My CAMSHAFT is needing a gasket I was told and the other camcrank I think..Do these help with the diagnoises???

All was well for a few weeks and now the windshield wipers turned on by themselves and would not stop running (The mechanic unplugged them from the switch and said I needed a new switch). Last night the brake light came on and would not go off (I removed the fuse). Being a single mother of 3 (no child support) I have done some car repair work on my own but I am not sure were to begin with this problem. Additionally, if I have to take it to the mechanic I want to have an idea of what to expect. Can someone give me information on this problem?
Thank you!
Any recommendation for the next step to check
7 1993 celica gt and gts
there are some you-tube videos that show how to.....
Buy an engine scanner and check the OBD code out. It would tell you what's failing.
Sounds like a dirty or faulty Mass Airflow Sensor. Spray clean the platinum wire with CRC MAF cleaner or any residue -free electrical contact cleaner.
Check all vacuum hoses, clack quarter inch rubber hoses. If unplugged or leaky , they will cause hesitation.
They are just brackets with rubber mounts to dampen vibration. the 2 top engine mount on top of the engine block are smaller.
I run the GTS very hard, down shifting hard etc... So the mounts are worn out. When stop with transmission engaged, the engine vibrates like crazy. Disengage the transmission and then engine idles smoothly. Also on take off, the wheels spin before grabbing traction.
The engine mount cost about $150 at dealer. You can put the car on block, jack up the engine block, remove a few bolts and take out the 2 bottom engine mounts. They can be rebuilt by adding polyurethane to the worn rubber.
Polyurethane comes in different hardnesses and melting temperatures. Can be ordered from eBay or McMaster Carr.
Make sure you clean the rubber and mating surfaces with a brush and solvent like Acetone to make good bonds.
The car now has more vibration at idle than before with OEM mounts. Apparently the rubber material may be stiffer than factory's.
Therefore Rebuilding engine mounts not recommended. For $50 more, buy Toyota's engine mount for smooth idling.
Replacing the rear engine mount involves serious work and risks of damages or injuries. Local shops here only want $90-100 to replace the rear engine mount. I suggest the bros to leave it to the shop with proper equipments and tools to do with minimum risks.
