If your vehicle is an automatic, I would suggest that your tranny has a blockage in its fluid coupling which may have happened if you received a transmission flush lately. BTW never get a Transmission Fluid flush on anything car with more than 100,000 kms or you will be having to rebuild your tranny in a matter of months. If your vehicle is a standard (or automatic) you could have a gas line blockage, either at the gas filter, which should be close to the fire wall or the filter at the end of the gas line where it connects to the carburater, you may have two on that celica. It will look like a gold cylindrical piece of crushed metal pieces compressed together (its hard to explain), but it will be at the end of your gas line in a housing on the carburater(s). You had best hope this is the problem as it is the quickest and cheapest, if not then you may need to check your carbs for balancing and any leaks from the vacuum lines. Hope that helps. JohnnyB
