Thanks for all the info, that really helps, your a champion mate ill check it out over the weekend. If the CSI is blocked is there a way that I can clear it or is it a major?

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior, just lately it has developed a ticking noise from around the dash, at first i thought it was just a rattle but I have noticed that the ticking noise gets more rapid the faster the car goes, by the time ive got to around 100k the ticks have become unaudible and it is...

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior, it has a slight cold starting issue where i need to give it gas to get it started and it miss's and "splutters" a bit before it starts idling smoothly, this only happens when its cold. At first I thought this was ignition but after reading other posts I thinking it...

Thanks again, thats gonna save me alot of time. Cheers for your help mate.

Thanks for the advice venom, you dont happen to know how many mounts there are? Im thinking I may as well change them all at once.

Cheers Peewee, what is the ISVC? Do you mean make sure the TPS is at idle with the throttle plate closed? Sorry im new at this.

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior, I have previously owned a 1991 Celsior and both of these have had some strange idle characteristics. If I drive on the motorway usually between 110-120kph for around 45 minutes then pull off and stop at a set of lights the engine is idling at around and sometimes...

Hi, I have noticed an increasingly large jolt when shifting my 1990 Celsior from park to drive, is this likely to be a gearbox mount? I have also noticed that when the choke is on and I am stationary in drive with the brake applied there is a slight rattle or noise, if I shift into nuetral...

I have had my hollowed cats removed and replaced with 2.25 pipe, the exhaust guy didnt want to spend the extra time fitting the pipe inside the cat casing. He had to flare the ends of the pipes a bit but it the fit was fine. It is definately louder than stock but far quieter and nicer sounding...

Thanks fellas, thats what I first thought but when I couldnt find a brake light not working I started to think it was something else. Ill check if one is dim, thanks again.

Thanks Lex but do you check it with the engine running and what gear should be selected on the trans?

Sounds like a very nice setup nforcr, unfortunately a supercharger is but a dream for me at the moment.... What would be a ballmark figure to get a 1UZ supercharged and on the road?

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior/LS400, im concerned that the transmission fluid may be low. I have read that the correct way to check the transmission fluid is to have the car warm and running, then leave it in drive while someone applys the brake and check the level on the dipstick. Is this...

I have a 1990 Celsior and when I was having tranmission issues they suspected it was the ECU, they replaced the ECU and it was located behind and under the glovebox where the Aircon gear is. I dont know much about ECU's but I think that in 1st generation Celsiours there is a single ECU for...

My 1990 Celsior/LS400 has recently been showing a light on the dash, the light is somewhat intermittent. The light is the shape of a car with lines coming from the rear of the car. Is this some sort of exhaust/cat/emissions warning? Thanks

I tried to find the Bosch dizzy caps and rotors but it seems that Bosch dont stock them in NZ. Repco and Supercheap Auto over here both contacted their suppliers and were told they dont come into NZ. Anyone know a good Aussie online store I could order them from?

Cheers Peewee, what leads are you running, im thinking I may as well change them while im doing the plugs. Champion leads are $310 NZD but id be prepared to spend more on some performance leads. Any tips on changing the plugs? It looks reasonably straight forward but I have never seen under the...

Thanks for the advice, ive found some NGK Iridiums for $25 NZD, I thought it was strange that they are the same price as the platinums. After reading about them I thought the Iridiums would be a bit more pricey?

Thanks 400, cats arnt checked in NZ so I dont need to worry about that part of it at the moment. I basically just want to get rid of the sound as cheaply as I can untill I get some headers. The noise coming from the cat is driving me mad, if I was to replace the cats with some small resonators...

Thanks JBrady, the pipe inside the cat is a good idea, do you think that this will still be noisey?
