Can It be the timing belt or ignition? Options

[y2komar]

Ok my buddy owns a 94 celica gt. He called me yesterday the car died out on him. It has about 150k mileages on it.

He was driving and the car just shut off. I went over to see if i can help but was unsuccessful. I turn the key and it cranks but does not start. I pulled one spark wire to see if it had spark wile I crank it and it did not have any spark.

now I think that it might be something with the ignition, igniter or the timing belt.

what can it be.

the car was running perfect before this.
thanks

ignition system or timing belt like you said. ask if it is the original belt, if it is then good chances thats what it is.

I went to check the car out again. I took the coil and igniter off my celica gt along with the wires and some tools.

Once I got there I noticed some differences. He also owns a 94 gt but his seems to not have a coil. just a igniter



this is how mine looks



I dont understand how it is that two cars that are identical have two different parts. umnnn oh well

well I replaced is igniter with mine and it did not make a difference. I then slighly took off the cover of the timing belt and there seems to be the problem. The belt was not broken but was ver loose. It seems like it stretched or the tensioner is no longer working
