  1. Hi

    im having an issue with my 2005 celica GT190,my problem is when the car is cold i back off the drive & start up the road,soon as i go to change gear or do a hard shift the red security light flicks on,the engine managment light flickers & the car lurches & feels like all the power has been zapped from it,but its only for a split second,the strange thing is as soon as its up to full temp it hardly ever happens,i dont lose any other electrics or power steering,so its not completely cutting out,but its like everything other than fully cutting out is going on.Ive never experienced this with any other car.

    I was getting an error code for the 02 sensors so thought it could be that,maybe the mixture or injectors were going a bit crazy as a result of bad sensors,but i changed both of them yesterday,left the negative off to reset the ecu,but the same problem started again.

    if anyone has ever had this with there Celica or has any advice as to what it might be i would be really grateful,its one of those REALLY annoying problems,everytime it happens im getting flung forward when all the forward momentum stops for a split second.

    i'll also just add that the engine managment light isnt staying on,and when i scan the ecu there are no codes showing.

    thanks in advance

  2. Im having a big problem with the front lambda sensor on my 2005 celica vvtl-i 190 GT.

    I bought a direct replacement from ebay,its an NGK sensor,not one of the rubbish ones,it was a proper one with the right plug.The downstream fitted straight in with no problems,but the front one is too short.

    my problem is,according to every site ive looked on,the one they sent me is correct,for my car it says that the lead is either 450 or 470mm,but the one i took of my car was 600mm.

    as far as i know the exhaust is the factory fitted T-sport one that came with the car,certainly the sensors seemed original judging by the amount of swearing & grinding it took to get them out,but im still left with the problem of this cable.

    does any one know what is going on with the upstream sensor & why mine seems to require a length which does not seem available??,nothing has been modified on my car to the best of my knowledge,so why can i not seem to find the correct sensor with a cable that will reach.

    i have read somewhere that Toyota used various different sensors for the same year car??,is this true?

    i will attach some pics to show you the issue.

    thanks in advance
