Loving the car man. Looks like the PO's have been modding already. From one newbie to another. Welcome. Matt.

I missed the meet this year. However I would like to know what went on with Celica-club UK and one of thier members. I know some damage was done, that's about it. Cant wait for next years Rising Sun. Matt.

Can you hear a relay been energized when you turn you lights on? Plus does the glove box/ashtray illuminate when you turn you lights on? If so, then pull the dimmer off, you can bypass it simply by using a 2" piece of wire and two male spade connectors. Let us know. Matt.

Install and miniature camera to film them in action... Also, take accurate odo readings when dropping the car off, until you get your limp-mode switch installed. Matt.

Update: I have managed to find the source of the problem... Intake manifold upper gasket. I could hear a hissing noise from the alternator area. I removed the alternator to replace the hose that sits directly behind it (rocker cover to engine block). There was a very slight split where the...

When I have hit FC in my Celica GT4... It would loose total power, engine light would appear and would have to reset the ECU to clear the code. The only time the car would boost again, would be after my foot was released from the accelerator. Matt.

Here we go mate. My mates Celica ST165 GT-four is also running in the back ground. You can hear the distinctive clicking sound. "Tick tick tick" 3 seconds into the vid clip. http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/oxedizer/?action=view&current=MOV00641.flv Matt.

hey all, Slight update. I have managed to find a smallish split on my accordion hose, its on one of the ribs, hence I have not seen it before. I will be getting a new one very soon. Also I can smell fuel vapours from the rear of the car, after turning the car has been turned off, and then for...

12000rpm? lol Mine makes a very distinctive clicking noise. Its a deeper sound than retention of heat exchange on manifold covers after engine turn shut-off per say, mine clicks 3 times. I can tomorrow sometime after work upload a sound clip of mine in action if you need mate? Matt.

No jdub, once I tested the initial pressure and took reading again after the car had been left to stand. I reconnected every back together again. Matt.

Hey guys, So I have managed to do a Fuel pressure test, and there was 38PSI when Fp & B+ connected. it was a bit tricky, loads of fuel spurted everywhere. I left the gauge connected for a further 5-10 minutes and it got to about 16PSI in the end by the time I finally disconnected it. I have...

UK spec I guess. I have never come across one with the "JDM tailgate" It is on my list of things to do. Anyway I am off to work. Matt.

Nice one mate. Thank you for your help so far. I will be doing some more tests on the car after work tomorrow. I am just about to get my head down for the night. Matt.

hey jdub, There wasn't any blockage in the Tb orifice. I also pulled the FPR line off the mani without any effect. Is there ment to be a lot of vacuum on all of these hoses? there was a bit on the FPR but nothing to shout about. There was not much pressure on the TB orifice either. I can feel...

ISCV was removed and cleaned As for the check valve... I have not got around to this as yet. I will clean the TB orifice now... Be back in 1 hour ish with results. edit: the check valve was checked and cleaned Matt.

Crappy Camera Phone and its raining (typical English weather!) Here is the first clip, this was the first attempt starting after the previous vid (about 15minute wait - car is still cold) Vid One Here is that splutter I was talking about: Vid Two Here is a attempt to start the car...

Here is my make shift connector until I can get one from Mr T. Here is a short clip of the car from cold after 3rd time crank. I did manage to pull out the CSI, well as for it goes with pulling off the fuel source. However it just cranked for about 10 seconds, I then put one of the...

Correct code 22 is gone. "Radiator Cooling Fan Sensor Switch" I am not sure this was effecting the ECU code, however its not come back. The ECU has not been rest since the 2nd day of getting the car. I have travelled probably 300 miles since then. Matt.

Thanks for the reply guys. code 34: The codes where checked on the day I got the car, from what I can see the hose from actuator to turbo housing is newish, so my educated guess would be that this was split, thus causing fuel cut. I have not hit FC since ownership (2 weeks) code 22: This was...
