I picked up a coil a week and a half ago but didn't get around to installing it until today. I also fixed a disintegrating valve cover gasket.
As far as tune up goes... I really think I should change the O2 sensor. It's probably original and at 135k miles.
I also noticed the belts aren't in great shape and I'm amazed it didn't throw one. The power steering belt was on the wrong crank groove (the middle instead of the outer where it should be.) I looked at the entire car front to back and I'm surprised I missed that, but then again... I've hardly driven the car because of lack of parts.
I still need to figure out how to fix the right rear caliper. It's the right rear wheel bearing that worries me. I know it's too tight but Toyota doesn't make the crush sleeve anymore. It's unobtainium. There was talk on the celicasupra forums on making a solid spacer with spacers but I don't think that got anywhere.
Other than the brakes, and the one wheel bearing though... it doesn't have any other issues. I do have to adjust the IAC so it idles up properly when cold. I will do that at some point.
After changing the coil the engine runs so much smoother now. It's still a 22re and it still is not a great idle. But before it wouldn't even idle on its own.
List of things to do on this all original car:
- Replace dizzy cap and rotor
- Replace spark plug wires with Denso set
- Spark plugs (although the ones in the car look new and aren't fouled. Undecided on this one)
- Replace O2 sensor
- Replace belts
- Replace upper and lower rad hoses
- Replace all the brake lines (they're all original

)
- Figure out how to fix the sticking rear caliper
- Figure out how to fix the RR wheel bearing with no parts...

- Once I can sort all the above, the tires are OLD
The timing chain guides looks intact when I had the valve cover off. So leaving that for now.
