So I have a 1996 celica and can't seam to find a afm. But my mates say all 3sges are afm... after looking on google image I saw and matched up what looks to be a map sensor.
reason is my car appears to red line at around 5,000 rpm. I get 90km out of 3rd gear. No one seams to know why. Im thinking along the lines of air/fuel mix.

Your's is map sensor, if it was a 97+ beams SS-II/III then it would be afm/maf.

the redlining at 5,000rpm isn't right. Any CEL popping up?

need to know what engine you have.

5S-FE uses only MAP

3S-GTE uses MAF and MAP

BEAMS uses both also

has engine bay picture in his profile, also states 96 and 3sge. (Doesn't have superstrut btw)

the red/grey/blacktop are all MAF, or are you including the beams 2000/ 1G-FE?

I believe its the 3sge. That's what my tag says. 2L 5 speed. Yeah I have found out its mapped. So what's happening is on acceleration im climbing up the revs then at 5k its like its hit red line. Just bogs down and has nothing left. I don't believe its spark as its not all the time.
My mate has one of those snap on computer reading things no fault codes have been logged. We forced a code so we know all is working.
My battery died but I cant remember if the problem started then.
Im lost and so are the people I have told.
Any one have any ideas ... or what I should be checking

try reseting ecu. either by pulling off the battery terminals for 10mins, or removing specific fuses.

check out the NA maintenance section sticky and you'll find the engine repair manual which has trouble shoot.

what fuel are you using? 95/98? could be bad fuel, or the gull stuff as they've taken the ethanol part out now, ruined their pumps.

Just tryed resetting the ECU no change.

Stock engine with no upgrades?
I know my friend's neon srt4 would bog in high rpms cause it didn't have a tune.
do you have an gauges in your car such as an air to fuel one?

I got no it with a pod... and stainless exhaust .. other than that stock I believe.
