I have Toyota Celica Gt 88 .. 3S-FE is the engine and I have excessive gas burning.

I have done the tune-up routine..spark-plugs, wires, filter, air filter, Fuel regulator, .

I have also a rough idle that is spiratic at a complete stop . Sometimes it smooth. Another issue I have is a acceleration is extremely slow from STOP to GO . it take a little time for it to catch up.. I want to get scan diagnostic but its hard to find a mechanic that has the scan machine for such a older model of car.

I do know possibly that I am burning lean on my gas.. .. Im hoping someone here can tell me what I can do ..if I can do it my self being a female.. ha ha

Just dont have the funds for costly diagnosic.. If you know where or a place I can go to in Las Vegas, nv let me know.


I also do know and I am not sure if this matters but I have my gaskets or the camshaft that are leaking a little. My mechanic said I need to replace them camshaft and timing belt too he said

Is it easy to set ur timing belt if a person is just a kinda of mechanic??

lol

Thank You,
Michelle

Hmmm... If you stuff your timing belt it can stuff your entire engine so I'd get a pro to do it. If your doing you tbelt then you'll have to pull the timing cover off and replace the cam/crank seals anyway, so you might as well do them all together.

Running rich? Maybe your o2 sensor or cat convertor... So many different explainations?????!!!

Wheres a good place to get SCAN GUN/TOOL for my car..1988 TOYOTA CELICA GT 3S-FE engine?

Im not sure what type of scan tool I need/... BUT I want to be able to diagnostic, so I have the codes in my book. Just not scan tool.

Can you tell me what type I need for this???

I cant go to the auto zone, pep boys, checkers like most people can cuz mine is older.
They do the scans only from 98 and newer

HELP!!!

Do an online search or just ask one of the local mechanics. You may also want to check with a junk yard to see if they could help you out. You wouldn't believe the things those guys have figured out about different cars after they've taken apart a couple of thousand for parts. Absolutely replace the timing belt too. If it's out of time it's going to spit and sputter and lose power. Good luck.
