Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior HELP!

OK yesterday I ran my car at the drag strip and 2 out of 4 times my car shuts off...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG!!!?!!! it did it again last month but once...help please, but atleast I won FIRST place!!!

give us some more info. from what i read, it seams like you just stall'd at the line lol, so tell us in detail what happend

ok first thing i do is burn out...then line up at the lights and go...everything is good...then when i reach 3rd or 4th gear my oil,battery,and check engine light comes on...then it just shuts off...i turn the car back on by putting it in 4th and just popping the clutch and then it just turns on again...is that enough detail? hopefully cause i want to run it next month but i dont if my car is still acting up

you need to take your car to a shop. a lot of times when your CEL (check engine light) comes on and your engine shuts off, it's because there is a critical failure. your car turns off for a reason, and that reason shoudlnt be disregarded.

it could be something serious, or it could be as simple as putting coolant in your engine (what does your engine temperature read before it shuts off?). if you're out of coolant, your engine will shut down when it gets too hot (since your at a drag stip, you're obviously running your car very hard).
