so i posted this on my local college imports forum for some help, but i found this site and you guys should know more better, heh
Heres the problem posted from other thread:
On June 4,2007, I finally decided to bring my car to Irvine (after 4 years, its my weekend car when i go home to San Diego on weekends) Its a 1988 Toyota Celica Turbo All-trac. It drives fine when I'm at home in SD and it drove fine from SD to Irvine (100mile trip) this Monday. But last night (June 5, 2007) it did something it never did before:
Going into first and second gear just fine, revs up as usual. Then once I hit 3rd gear and I start picking up speed I hit 35MPH and it wont go any further, I feel a lil kick back in the car and it wont go any faster no matter how hard i press on the accelerator and my RPMs wont go past 2.5k. Hit 4th gear same thing wont get pass 35MPH and 2.5k RPMs. Could I assume my clutch is bad?
Suggestions from the other thread:
"MAF sensor is dead" everyone one there says to check the MAF, but being a noob I have no idea how to check that.
I hope u guys can give me better help. Thx in advance.
