Hey everyone,
Yesterday when I was comin home from school everything was going fine. I stopped for a stoplight and when I was bout to go, I noticed the engine had died. Well, I thought that maybe i had let the clutch out and killled it, but that wasnt the case. I tried cranking several times and I gave it gas cause I didnt know anything else to try. It was very embarrasing.

So, I put it in neutral and luckily I was able to slowly roll out of the way. I called my dad and he came and looked at it and couldn't figure out what was wrong. So he calls his friend who is a mechanic and the mechanic came and towed it away.

Well, today he called my dad and said that the distributor was in real bad shape so he replaced that... and the car still doesnt work. Arrg .. He said it might be some sort of coil ignitor thing which costs a lot of money evidently.

So as of now I am celica-less until I get it back. I have a feeling that I am going to be spending 400-500 dollars on fixing this thing cause he said the distributor was around 200, and the other part is even more than that...

This sucks huh? That sets me back on my engine funds quite a bit...
On top of it all I was late for work yesterday ...

I just wanted to share my story,
