The car is in the shop at the moment, funny thing is the mechanic cranked it up and knew exactly what it was. I was like WTF, I was worrying for a whole week what the problem was, and here it took you 2 seconds to find the problem, lol.

It turns out to the the timing, the timing belt is still intact, but it jumped a couple teeth.

I found the EFI relay, it's black, right? How do I tell if it needs replacing? It looks like all the wires are still entact.

Anyways, I just changed the fuel filter, and the car still does not start. I am completely stumped, i have no idea what is wrong now, the only thing i could think of are clogged injectors. But, the car was driving fine prior to not starting, shouldn't clogged injectors make the car run really crappy? Well, the car was driving fine before this happened.

Once again, the fuel pump is working, fuel filter changed, timing belt is ok, air filter is ok, spark is ok, efi relay looks ok, battery is good. Car cranks but wouldn't start.


No idea what the CEL could be, car was driving excellent even with the CEL came out, which was about 2 weeks before the car didn't start. Thanks!!

^IIRC stands for If I recall correctly and/or If I remembered correctly

Update: It is NOT the fuel pump, I have narrowed it down to 3 things, Fuel Filter, Clogged Injectors, Fuel pump relay fuse. <---Where is the fuel pump relay located in the fuse box???

Timing belt is fine.

How can you tell if your timing belt has broken? Will the car act like normal? or will the car run really crappy if the timing belt is broken?? 1996 Celica 7afe, The car has Air, has Spark, the only thing is I think the timing belt is broken, but prior to the car not starting, the car was driving perfect EXCEPT a check engine light.

One more thing, where is the fuel pump fuse?? If not a broken timing belt, I'm thinking it could be the fuel pump fuse, but where is it located?

The car is cranking, just not starting, battery and alternator is fine, starter is fine. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
