Hey guys,
driving back to school today I stopped at a red light, shifted into first starting going again and then bamm!! my engine started to sputand sound like a go-cart. I pulled over lifted up the hood and found my spark plug jammed up into the wire and the wire completely out of the hole. I was able to start the car back up and pull into a parking lot but shortly after that it stalled and I was not able to get it started again (it choked but did not turnover) So what could be my problem. I disconnected the ignition wire from the distributor and am heading to auto zone to get a new plug and wire (if not a whole set) Will this mean I need to replace the engine (finally 3sgte time!! lol) or can I just replace the plug and wire and be ok. Did this upset my timing any Could it be my timing belt snapped? PLEASE HELP!!! PS. I have a 1995 celica gt coupe |

Your plug popping out wasn't caused by the timing belt.
This also shouldn't have effected your ignition timing any, though it could be off anyways[wouldn't hurt to check it]. Ignition timing off also wouldn't cause your engine to not start. It is possible the belt snapped the second time however. Replace the plugs and wires and see if it starts. If not, time for some troubleshooting. -------------------- |
