Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Lift gone...help

what are some sign/symptom are noticeable when the lift is gone? beside the fact that there's no power after 6k..i heard the rpm will jump up and down..how drastic is that? because my don't jump up or down...i had my AC on and wanted to see if the lift still work, but no respond after 6k..i dunno if it broke or worn off..i changed them like 3 months ago..brand new bolts..

would toyota fix it under the TBS?? because i changed them already, i dunno if they would fix it under that..help...!!!

From what i've read in other posts, don't count on Toyota fixing lift bolts under warranty.

but they will fix it under the TBS thing right?? that's what've heard..but the thing is i change them already..so i dunno if they still fix it..if it's old bolt then they betta fix it..but it's new..so i'm kinda scare..

Was your car warmed up?

The temperature gauge must increase by two clicks before lift will be enabeled to engage.

was way way warm up bro...it was on the 2nd click..i've been driving for 15mins b4 i try to hit lift..so by that time i'm pretty sure it was warm up good..

Drive it longer, until the temp gauge is unmistakebly warm, and then try it again.

i'll give it a try one more time 2morow..i hope it's not broken...if it's worn out then i can change it..but if it's broken, then i'm f*ck..well wish me luck..

if your car is under 60 thousand miles..toyota will fix TSB's on the original manufacturer's warranty. it will NOT work if you are over 60k even if you have the extended 100 thousand mile powertrain warranty.

in any case..replacing your lift bolts is VERY easy..not hard at all, just takes a little time.

just pull the cover off and check it it doesn't take to long . like changeing your oil.

here...this should help:

the link contains 2 install guides, TSB #, and the lift bolt part # (i got mine for 49 cents apiece at my local dealer)

my car is only 33k..so i'm still good..i change them b4, i'm scare because i'm afraid if it's broke then the dealer won't fix it because i already change them once.. because if they're worn off, hell i can change them..it's easy..i just hate if it broke..

plus it's like 94degree here..and the humidity is like fucked up, it's so humid ur skin get really really sticky..sad, sad, sad..i can't even stay outside for 5mins..hot damn it's HOT!!!!

if you already changed them..just change them again. it can't hurt.

but anyway, like the other people said--try hitting lift again with your engine warm. it also may help to reset ur ECU.

i'll do that when it's cooler..like 2morrow or thursday..it suppose to go down to the mid 80s...so i'll just reset my ECU and try it..if that still don't work, then i'll change them..

ok, sounds good.

good luck with it, bro

Thanks everyone..i just need a peace of mind..i hate to spend more money, i'm flat broke..

UPDATE: ok..just went outside and reset the ECU..took it for a drive, i feel just a lil kick..i'm running with my stock airbox now, before i had a tube with a filter..i can really hear lift kick in..now it doesn't sound loud, although it does give a lil bit of power..could this mean that one of the bolt is broken?? what would happen if one got broken? would it still kick in but less then if it weren't broken?? i think i need to take the cover off and find out for sure if it's broken or not..

LAST AND FINAL UPDATE: ok well it turn out the Lift bolts are FINE nothing broken..took 1 1/2hr total to get everything in and clean up..some ground wire came off so had to get that fix..so now all is good..it was worth it since i need to check it anyway to make sure it was all good..and it's ALL GOOD

thanks everyone for the support..Greatly appreciated..

good for you bro...glad to hear that your car isn't fucked...things like that are part of the reason I went with a GT, and not a GTS

^^i still like GTS...i just like the power it have..nothing wrong with GT..if you have money to put on the GT it would be just as good if not betta..but GTS is always for me, since i'm poor..hahaha

any car with stock Turbo > GTS...
