Engine Keeps cutting OFF - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #50954 6 posts Started by celica47
hey guys i recently ran into some trouble with the celi. After driving one day my car cut out, tried cranking again, after two or three tries it eventully fired up again. I drove a little longer and it died again! once i got it home i had rough ilding and sputtering. Btw during all this there is no loss of power to the engine so we can rule out any battery problems.

Things i have done:
Fuel injector cleaner
Vavoline Water Remover.

any ideas....

After adding the water remover the car drove fine for an hour, then i let sit and hasnt fired up since.....? I hope its just the fuel filter.

Engine Oil? Too much oil can cause those symptoms. Just a quick guess. Also check the distributor and valves psi.

Yeah, are you getting spark to all cylinders? Check that.

Eh nah i doubt its the engine oil. Question, if my car wasnt firing on all cylinders why would it crank sometimes and drive for awhile?

Update: got the car to the shop mechanic tells me injectors are not getting signal but they are working.... Does they make any sense?
