It could have a leaky carburetor or injector that's causing the engine to flood.
2001 Toyota celice act like it want to start but won't can not get the window to go up
For Ignition. Your car will not start if this fuse blows, generally if there is a short.
im having the same issue with my 2002 celica gt just one click and nothing did you ever figure this out?
Fuel filter may be clogging up enough to not provide enough gasoline to keep the engine running, but will accumulate enough gasoline in it to re-start the vehicle.
1990 toyota celica when jumper cables are hooked up dash lights turn on but the car won't turn over won't even click
Died while driving? Alternator
Immediately after you finished your last drink and turned on the ignition in your car and began driving.
The timing "chain"will start rattling at around the 100k to 110k mark. This is when it should be replaced
* Corolla * Cadillac * Cougar * Civic (Honda) * CRX (Honda) * Chevrolet * Corsica * Chrysler * Celica (Toyota)
I would start by checking any leaks in your exhaust and fuel filter area, if there is any leaks throughout the exhaust the smell of gasoline or exhaust may come through into the interior.
You may want to check your catilick converter or your crankshaft positioning sensor.
try checking your timing chain. I had the exact same thing happen to me for about one month then my timing chain broke on a 12 year old 1981 Toyota Celica with a lot of km's.
