Salutations!
I happened upon Torque.Cars while searching for some information on the web. The community looks really friendly, and if my first impression serves correct, a great place to ask all my car questions, and eventually donate some hard earned experience from the uncommon builds I have in mind.
A bit about myself:
I live in the southern U.S. where it's hot and muggy for a good 3/4 of the year. I'm 20yrs, working full-time and a full-time student. Thus, I have no cash to carry out my mods, but I have so many ideas for swaps and show-quality restorations! And... (what you've been waiting for...) my vehicle is a 1995 Toyota Camry LE. Pretty plain, but I have big plans for it.
If you want to know more about my nifty little ideas for the Camry, or about my fascination w/ Toyota, just ask. Currently though, I'm on a mission to get a few questions answered. (I feel dumb asking, but we've all got to begin somewhere, no?)
-I'm running a 2.2L I4, EFI, DOHC. The only modifications I've done to it, are a set of 215/50-17 Nexen tires on MSR Style 44 rims, A cheap conical air filter, and a pretty new battery.
After getting rid of the old battery, I felt a significant increase in responsiveness, but still I get very slow acceleration (even w/ the pedal floor'd). What could be causing this?
I took a shot in the dark, and guessed it might be the Catalytic Converter clogging, or a sensor failing somewhere, giving the ECU the wrong data. Any ideas? (Lemme know if I need to take this question to a more appropriate thread)
Anywho, there's my introduction, my reason for being here. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with this community and one day join the big-boy group and post some pics worthy of notice.
