Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Slight Problem With my 2000 GTS...

Maybe this is a repost but its crucial and i dont wanna spend my time searching for older threads...anywayz... when i turn on my car its fine. When i reverse its fine. But...when i start moving it kinda starts of VERY slow, and i have to pretty much floor it to get the RPMS past 3-4x1000 anyone know what i can do?

It's either a problem with your MAF sensor, cold air Intake (if you have one), or maybe your throttle body/cable.

Also, try and put your butterfly valve back in and reboot the ECU.

Do you have an auto or manual?

yeah..u might wnat to include more info on ur car..cuz just by what you said we can't help you much..

If you're trying to floor it right after you start up the car, it's going to do that every time. The car protects itself from damage you could do to it by over revving the car too early. If it doesn't do this after you drive it for a while, it's normal, don't worry.

Also, if it's an auto then maybe it is normal.

Try cleaning the MAF like said and reset the ECU. Try that first. I had a similar problem and I cleaned that sucker and reset the ECU. No more problems other than my stock clutch and flywheel and having to rev it like I have a 2lbs. flywheel at every other stop. If you don't have an Intake I don't know what to say other than tuneup or transmission worries.

i agree with all of them, theres nothing worse then revving or pushing the car right after starting then again it could be MAF too good luck

no no no, its manual and the reason i have to "floor" it is to get the RPMS past 2-3 since i live on the bottom of a hill

BUMP

Uh, well then you might be bogging the car down when you just floor it right away. Try giving it less throttle, and more clutch, and then easing back on the clutch as you increase the throttle.
