My Car Just Stop Starting Yesterday When I Was Driving. I've Check The Timing Belt First And It Was Good, I've Check The Spark Plugs And Wires And Its Good, Then I Checked For Spark To See If It's The Ignition Coil And Distributor And It's Not, Checked The Crank Sensor And It's Good, Put Some Starting Fluid In To See If It's The Fuel But It's Not... Gonna Get The Ignition Coil Check At Advance Auto Now ... And Oh And I Just Bought An New Battery For The Car. I Have An 95 Celica GT With An ST185 Swap I Really Dont Know What Is The Problem Anymore Please Help.....

does it turn over and just not run, or when you turn the key nothing happens?

Fuel press?

it turns over but just wont start......


and no fuel pressure is right on mark.....beside if it was the fuel then the starting fluid spray would of work..... right???? i am completely out of ideas....... and Ignition Coil came back perfect what to do....

when you say you checked the plugs, did you take one out and crank the motor to see if it was generating an arc?

i would put the blame on spark if you have fuel...

maybe a fuse

yup took each one out one by one to check spark using jumper cables all have spark...i just dont know anymore.......

and all my fuses are just fine.....i've replaced all of my main fuses and still nothing....

timing could be off to the point where it wont start

Compression, fuel and spark.
Spray starting fluid(ether) into the intake or pour an ounce of gas inside it so that it can get the the cylinders. Now try to start the car. If it tries to sputter to life you have a fuel related issue, if it still wont start you have an ignition related issue.

Check your grounds, poor grounds can keep a car from starting.

bad ground actually caused my car not to crank...but started by pushing it...

Hey that's an idea, try to push start it.

took it apart and checked the time it's all correct , tried push start won't start, i did say that i've used starting fluid already so thats out of the question.....all of my ground wires are correct and should be fine.....(SO STRESSFUL)

If you have spark, fuel, and correct timing, then the only thing I can think of is that your iac is stuck closed. So while you crank the engine cant draw any air. Try cranking while lightly pressing on the gas to crack the throttle.

I only bring this up because I once saw someone pull a vacuum while compression testing lol. Turned out their iac was messed up

it's getting plenty of air and the throttle opens perfectly.

so its not fuses, not spark, not fuel pressure... wont start by pushing has vacuum grounding is ok bat is ok cables are ok and arking...

if you remove the spark plugs and cranking the engine does fuel spurt out of the holes? thats how I check that its getting fuel...cuz Im running out of ideas...

you could go war of the worlds on it and CHANge duh solenoid

Perhaps it's the ECU. About the only other thing I can think of.

Did you check your ignition timing? Spark could be firing at the wrong time

some timing issue or ECU is left or a electrical problem.

dumb question but is there still a timing belt on there.

I'm 100% sure it's not the ECU... All Wires Is Fine...And Yes Timing Belt is still on


ignition timing is fine
