Toyota designed the system so that if the fan temperature switch fails, the fans run constantly -- better to have a cold radiator which still allows the thermostat to control temperature than to boil ...

Cleaning the throttle body.... - 6G Celicas Forums

Often the issue isn't the throttle body but the IACV -- and even if the TB is the culprit, cleaning the IACV is a good idea, especially since you'd pretty much have to remove it anyway.

Antenna Down? - 6G Celicas Forums

EnthusiastJoined Mar 3, '05From Richmond, B.C.CurrentlyOfflineReputation:0(0%)
6th Generation Celica › Exterior Styling
Best I can figure is that some of the teeth on the plastic track broke off or wore down, so the gear which raises and lowers the antenna mast is slipping on a specific section. Alternately, the track ...

Vacuum leaks, unfiltered air, and probably most importantly getting most of your air from the hot engine bay rather than the intake, thus bypassing the intake air temperature sensor and fooling the EC...

Start with the ignition system -- pull each sparkplug, ground it and crank the engine. If you get adequate spark, you can move on to the fuel and air systems, though if your plugs are wet with gas aft...

Slight changes in pressure in the exhaust system won't suddenly cause your engine to start stumbling. I'd be checking to see that all cylinders are firing, that the IACV is functioning, and the condit...

Odd that you'd have a welded-in cat, since as far as I knew the various versions of the Celica all used direct-fit, bolt-on catalytic converters. It'd also be quite odd for a cat to fail at only 137,0...

First step would be to see what code the engine is trying to get you to read -- the CEL illuminates when it has something to tell you.

The muffler tip, unless you go smaller than the exhaust pipe diametre or strap on an illegal length, won't have any effect on performance.
