Lots of time spent on the Celica this week. Keep hitting road blocks but it's all good.
New plug wires seemed to fix the starting issue but I suspect the fuse block is a little wonky also.
Getting smoke from the exhaust manifold. Thought it was because rear muffler was clogged but after removing that I think the culprit is the exhaust gasket. Not a fun fix as the turbo and such is in the way.
Then again everything is in the way in this engine bay.
Found out that the ST165 throttle cable will not work on the ST205 engine. My engine didn't come with one so....Got lucky and one was on Ebay in Europe. For $150 used but it comes with the accelerator pedal so that's a bonus.
Lots to do inluding a new clutch master cylinder. The hardest one is routing the upgraded intercooler pump and heat exchanger
