Recently did some work on my mother-in-law's car. Not a Celica, but a '99 Camry with a 5S so it should be close enough that diagnosis on here may be helpful. I replaced the head gasket, put on new timing belt and water pump, got everything back together and now the car just won't start. At first it would start to hit on ether, but then it eventually quit with that so at this point it may be flooded out, but not entirely sure. I am wonder if its possibly not getting fuel. Timing is good, did it by the book and i checked everything half a dozen times to be sure. It has compression and is also getting spark. Any ideas as to what would cause it not to start and/or how to remedy a possibility of air in the fuel lines? I can hear the fuel pump running after trying to turn the engine a few times, so it should at least be sending fuel up front, but I don't know if its getting to the injectors yet or not. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and helpful.

Put the car where the front is higher than the rear, either by parking on an inclined surface or raising the front onto jack stands. Then take off the radiator cap and let it run for a while, if you have one put in a no spill funnel and fill it with a little coolant and you can watch for air bubbles.
There are two coolant temp sensors, one for the ECU and one for the gauge. The ECU one is probably more accurate since the ECU needs an exact temperature read to run its best, whereas the one for the gauge not so much since it's a dummy gauge and really isn't an exact representation. I can't remember exactly, but I want to say the two wire one is for the ECU and the one wire one is for the gauge. Any kind of OBD-II scanner will go off the sensor for the ECU.
