The Toyota 3S-FE is a 16-valve 2.0 L twin camshaft, single cam gear engine built by Toyota from 1986 to 2000. European version produces 128 PS (94 kW; 126 hp) at 5,600 rpm and 179 Nm (132 ft-lb) at 4,400 rpm without a catalytic converter; with, maximum power is 121 PS (89 kW; 119 hp).[11] It is commonly used in the Camry 1987-1992 model, the Celica T160/T180/T200, Carina 1987-1992, Carina 1988-2001, Caldina 1992-2002, Carina ED 1985-1998 and Carina E 1993-1998 models, Corona T170/T190 as well as Avensis 1997-2000 models and RAV4, 1994-2000, Picnic/Ipsum 1996-2002 and Comfort 2001-2007. The 3S-FE was also used in some MR2 Mk2 cars due to its torque band being suitable for the automatic models. The 3S-FE is fitted with EFI. The 3S-FE engine is fitted with a cast iron crankshaft, whereas the 3S-GE/GELU engines have forged crankshafts.[10]

O/d flashing indicates a problem in the transmission. It's like a check engine light for the transmission. Count the pattern and Google it. Some will flash just to say help, some will have a pattern. If it has no pattern take to a kragen/oriley pepboys type or a shop to get a scan.

check to see if there is a separate ect for the trans,scanner would be best if able to find a obd2 scan tool

The flashing lights are indicating that there ia problem setting up the airbags at time of iginiton. The problem could be a simple sensor switch in the passender or drive's seat or wiring connection to the seneor or computer or it could actually be the airbag not being detected by the computer. Usually these problem come up in areas where there is high ambient air humidity. suggest a visit to dealersip for a diagnosis of the problem.

well its a 1996 toyota curren according to this
http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=DEA575
so then we check wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Curren
and that gives us three choices: 1.8 L 4S-FE I4
2.0 L 3S-FE & 3S-GE I4

double posted and again not a clue as to exaclty where you see this.
pretend we are blind. really.

Sounds to me like you have a bad air mass meter or bad map sensor.

I am having the same problem at present, try reading this.http://www.fixya.com/cars/t4544375-1999_toyota_altezza_tiptronic_3s_ge

There is no problem with your computer box, it says 3S-GT on it, thats the way toyota did them back then. same with the 3S-FE (says 3S-F on the comp. box) and 3S-GE (3S-G on comp. box.) i dont recommend removin the cat. you will get defected (or waht is equivelant to a defect where you are) due to smog and stuff like that. Turbo timer is wired to the igntion system, no problems there. and as for gauges: get a pro to install them, but there should be zero trouble.
