Celica Forums General Discussion General I STALLED?!?!?

So i stalled my car when a light turned green (i know it wasn't running) I went to start it right away and it sounded like something was frying or like it was being overstarted? this happen to anyone?

Relax man, I think you just stalled and scratched a little from holding ignition to long

yeah thats what i was thinking. it happened to me a couple times. no biggie man.

mah.. don't think so b/c i actually tried to start it 2 times it finally started the 3rd time when i waited a few seconds... It seems fine now so i'm ont gonna worry about it

weird. maybe you should have given ur car a second or two before trying to restart it. maybe you were stepping on gas and clutch when restarting, i duno. it would make sense if you made a sudden turn and ur car stalled, but thats not the case.

It's funny when people stall at a light. They get all embarrassed and take off.

I'm sure that's not what the poor guy wanted to hear

i've done it lol

I love it when some stalls at a light, get flustered adn teh nstall again as they try to speed off. Cracks mee up

Nothing wrong with stalling, lol. I stalled plenty of times when I first started driving a stick shift.

yeah i did that recently too.. i stalled at a big intersection where there were exits to a free way, and so i was on a lil slope and i was trying to look "cool" with my music all slumpin and all, plus there was some cute girls in the other lane. Anyways i try to take off and look to the side, then my ass stalls the car out! I was like OMG! what a fucken noob! So i feel hella dumb and my music is loud i am sittin there starting my car cause i stalled it like a dumb ass. Anyways i finally get my baby to turn over and YES i speed off and hit LIFT as i drive off lol thats how gay i looked! Any of you who are reading this I hope you people got a decent laugh at me

yeah i remember pplz would hock at me, i would just start it again, burn out, and flick them off. it happends to everyone. i dont think you should worry about it, onless you do it every 5 minutes, but other than that ur strait

i've done it when i was a n00b, nothing to get excited about. Shit happens

Thanks I needed that.

BTW, you're being laughed at by a guy who drives auto. I couldn't stall unless I was coasting and threw it in reverse.

Haha, yeah, sometimes I miss driving my Auto GT. It was so care free. Now, since I am still a noob in the stick shift world, I get a lil paranoid when stopping on a hill, hahaha.

Stick is the only way in the Celica 7th Gen world. It's as carefree as an auto (Ban the Automatics Club-PM me). Any other person would stall my car because my clutch doesn't fully engage. That's still cheaper and a better fix than a bad auto with no Performance to begin with. It sounds funny to me to even type auto Celica. Anyways, the stall, the quick restart, and the horrible starter "crunch" sound when you realize you are going crazy on your car to get it going and not look like an ass sucks and hurts. I've never done it on my Celica (thank God), but on other cars 10 years my prior I have.

lol like you always do?

Yeah, not in a celi though, my ignition system is about as strong as a 9 volt battery
