I can't find a fix anywhere. It's definitely running rich, u can smell the gas while it runs and it's blowing a white/blue tint smoke. The guy I bought it from said he upgraded the spark plugs and flashed the ECU. I got new spark plugs but noticed they are the same looking as the stock ones (yellow tips). Could the spark plugs that are in the car still be giving more fuel even tho they are the yellow tips? Also idk why 'flashing' an ECU means. I'm trying to find a fix and I desperately need to since I'm spending 80 dollars a week in gas JUST to get to work :/ idk if a vacuum hose could cause it, idk really any thing to start with. ]]> Fifth Generation CelicaGTS90 http://www.toyotacelicas.com/forums/94-fifth-generation/51825-please-help.html Celica 2003 T-Sport 190 - Storm Blue http://www.toyotacelicas.com/forums/82-sale/51817-celica-2003-t-sport-190-storm-blue.html Sat, 18 May 2013 21:01:16 GMT For sale is my 2003 (52 plate) Celica T-Sport in Storm Blue 42,700 miles Full Toyota Service History Service and MOT done last month Taxed till... For sale is my 2003 (52 plate) Celica T-Sport in Storm Blue

This is an excellent example of a Celica T-Sport in rare Storm Blue, it has always been maintained by Toyota main dealers and is in perfect mechanical condition, it revs smoothly and freely and you can really feel the extra power when the cam lifts. It was MOT'd and Serviced last month and the MOT came back with no advisories. It has had a new clutch 3k miles ago.

The car is a 2003 so is the face lift model with the better quality dash and slightly different nose.

The paint colour is Storm Blue, if you've never seen it before it can look black but is in fact a really dark blue that sparkles under certain light, it looks amazing (I've included a photo of the car in my works car park which is goes some way to showing the real colour).

The paint work is in good condition with the odd tiny stone chip or small surface scratch as you would expect on a car of this age but nothing major, the alloys have not corroded like some Toyota alloys can do however there is some very minor kerbing damage

All in all this is a very good car and I will be sad to see it go

I'm live in Stockport and welcome any inspection

I have just replaced the rear discs and pads on my t-sport and took it for a quick test drive and they both appear to be rubbing quite loudly. When I installed the new pads I pressed the piston back in etc. could it be something with the rotors? I don't think it's the stone guard.

Any feedback/ideas is much appreciated. ]]> Seventh Generation Jack190T http://www.toyotacelicas.com/forums/96-seventh-generation/51801-2001-celica-t-sport-new-brake-noises.html bleeding brakes http://www.toyotacelicas.com/forums/80-maintenance/51793-bleeding-brakes.html Sat, 18 May 2013 13:28:39 GMT I've bled the brakes a few times now, when done the pedal goes hard, once I start the car the pedal goes spongy again, can anyone help??:mad: ]]> Maintenance tubbss53 http://www.toyotacelicas.com/forums/80-maintenance/51793-bleeding-brakes.html Engine Malfunction Light http://www.toyotacelicas.com/forums/96-seventh-generation/51785-engine-malfunction-light.html Sat, 18 May 2013 12:56:24 GMT Hi, I bought a 7th Gen 2002 Celica T Sport, after some extreme cold weather (for England) I had the engine malfunction light come on with a... Hi,
I bought a 7th Gen 2002 Celica T Sport, after some extreme cold weather (for England) I had the engine malfunction light come on with a notification that the traction control and anti spin was turned off. Has anyone else experienced this? I took it to my local Toyota garage who said they dont think its too serious as long as the engine malfunction light isnt flashing? Also I would like to look once this is rectified to start restoring this back to its former glory. Having lived on the south coast and had a female owner (no pun intended) who wasn't particularly careful with it it has a bit of wear and tear. So if I'm changing plugs and brakes etc think I may as well try to improve these areas? Is there any advice on these points? Any help would be gratefully recieved....
