I purchased a Toyota Celica 2001 with a 1zz-fe engine in may of this year 2014 after another driver totaled my car. It got a fresh oil change from pepboys and consumed the oil in about 3 weeks. This has caused the engine to create a loud constant knocking sound over time which is any time I'm not going over 40 mph and after doing more research online I see that it is a known issue with the engine and the only permanent solution is to replace it with an 03-05 model 1zz-fe engine. I have since been to a mechanic multiple times who recommended I replace the rods to "buy some time" until it dies and the anxiety of it dieing along with the sound its making is enough to cause an accident. I researched online and found out Toyota had used undersized pistons and oversized rings to compensate in the 1zz-fe engines from 1999-2002â corollaâ and Celica's, causing them to drink the oil at a very high rate after so many miles. Also that a lot of people have this issue. There are many 2000-2002 Celicas for sale online with blown motors due to the same issue. I commute to work and back which is less than ten miles away. I do not have the money for this as I am 24 and taking care of my disabled mother and trying to get back in school. I had the car less than a month before it started having issues and have records of the oil changes it has gotten since the first owner. Please look into this and recall this engine.
