Engine Not Getting Fuel Options

[ididntseenothing]

Hey all. So went to drive the 94 Celica yesterday, and stalled out on me when attempting to leave the complex. Wouldn't restart so had to push it back.

Anyway, seems like the engine isn't getting any fuel. The CEL has been on/off over the past few weeks. Attempted to read it to see what it could be, but it's not throwing a code, just a constant flash.

Tried checking the EFI relay to see if it looked burnt out or anything, but looks alright. Checked all the fuses that it could be and nothing seems to be blown. Can smell gasoline under the hood when trying to start the car, but still a no go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If your not getting fuel or spark check your distributor.
Not the cap/rotor, you need to look at the RPM sensor [4 wire connector].

If the ECU doesn't get an RPM signal from the distributor it won't turn on the fuel pump or the coil.

The CEL could be related to that or it could be something totally different.

It's actually somewhat common for a sensor that is just starting to go bad to turn the CEL on and off, especially in older non OBDII cars [95 and older for you].
