Loss of Acceleration - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #12183 13 posts Started by Redline_Racer


OK I really wanted to figure this one out without comming to this forum for help haha. I have lost some acceleration in all gears its not alot, but I can tell its not there. It doesn't have that throw me back into my seat thrust. I chaged Spark Plugs, checked electrical wires and ****, and I have pretty much looked through my entire engine. Could this be some kind of Vaccum problem? or maybe somethings up with my Electronic ****? I need some help guys.

your clutch might be going

I hope its not that, I just got a new one about 5,000 miles ago, and I made sure not to push it for the first 700.

maybe the clutch is defective ?

I will return one day.
if you can have that checked.. also check your compression .. you might have a pressuure leak

Or maybe he's just used to the power... Try having someone else drive your car while you sit in the passenger seat. I know that when I ride in my brother's MR2, I feel that "throw me back in my seat" feeling. But when I drive it... it feels fast... without the feeling. It could be psychological... >wink.gif>
Your probably used to the car!! Hehe..i know this has happened to me.
I dunno man, it just feels like my car is having to work harder like its pulling some kind of extra weight.

check your vacuum hoses, listen for a hiss, have you ever replaced the o2 sensor?

3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting.
Yeh I am thinking its all perception now cause yesterday it felt like it usually does, I dunno? Could the Temp. change have anything to do with it? I bought my celica in the winter and now its summer out here and alot hotter.

I was just gonna say this... heat, humidity, barometric pressure, etc. all have effects on your engine.

My car is a lot faster in the cold weather but runs smoother in the heat.
