Known issues on the 2003 Celica. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns the gasoline fuel system: on certain vehicles the fuel tank check valve, located in the fuel tank inlet pipe, may become separated from the inlet pipe and fall into the fuel tank, a condition that may result in a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Owners have filed 21 complaints against the 2003 Celica, and Toyota has issued 57 technical service bulletins for it.
Whether the job is inspecting that fuel tank inlet pipe, working through one of the 57 bulletins, or a routine service interval on the 1.8L four, the procedure you follow is Toyota's own and the figure you set is the one written for the 2003 Celica.
