hey all, I have a 1991 Celica GT convertible, 5 speed manual, with the 2.2. It was stored since October of last year and recently we pulled it out of storage and noticed the car was missing lightly when it first started but seemed to go away or get better when it was warm. When the car was...

I have a Matrix XR with 167,000 miles that has a slight intermittent misfire. When the engine is cold the car runs absolutely perfect. Fuel trims are set at almost perfect "0" and has plenty of power. But once the engine gets up to temperature fully and runs for a bit (about 20-25 mins), the...

I just went to an Advanced Auto Parts to have them run a test on my car to see what was going on after the check engine light came on. The guy said that the car was running lean and the problem could be with the fuel filter or a leak or something. I have looked up How to check the fuel filter...

My LTFT has been as high as 18% (after start on warm engine). STFT is oscillating around 0% more or less and seems to be working properly, and O2 sensor is oscillating OK as well. City MPG is down to 18 to 20 MPG, whereas I would expect 22 to 25 MPG (4 speed automatic). I think I have a...

Has anyone on here ever taken the tour of the Georgetown, Kentucky plant where our Avalons are built? I am very curious about your experience, I want to know if it is worth the (long drive) down there. I recently started up a consulting company (Lean 6 Consulting) to teach others how to apply...
