Problems:
Overheating
The 5S engine in the 1991 Toyota Celica may experience overheating issues due to age-related wear and tear on the cooling system, such as a failing radiator or water pump.
Oil leaks
Common in older engines, oil leaks can occur due to degraded seals and gaskets, particularly around the valve cover, oil pan, and crankshaft seals.
Timing belt wear
The 5S engine uses a timing belt, which can wear out over time and require replacement to prevent catastrophic engine damage.
Fuel injector problems
With electronic fuel injection, issues such as clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Head gasket failure
A known issue in older 4-cylinder engines, head gasket failure can lead to coolant mixing with oil, causing engine overheating and severe damage if not addressed.
Ignition system issues
Problems with spark plugs, ignition wires, or the distributor can lead to misfires, rough idling, and difficulty starting the engine.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum hoses and fittings can deteriorate over time, leading to vacuum leaks that result in poor engine performance and erratic idling.
Egr valve failure
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, leading to increased emissions and potential engine performance issues.
