Stock 1994 Celica GT (zero modifications). Manual trans.
Driving along and the car shuddered 3 times before dying and not starting back up. Cranks normal, sounds healthy, good fluids and battery voltage. I can hear the fuel pump running. Cranks but won't fire with starting fluid. Assuming its not the fuel system at this point. The car is in very fine condition mechanically and routinely serviced. New coil 3000 miles ago. ECU was swapped 10k ago because of a bad capacitor. No prior problems. No service engine codes. Any ideas where to start? Thanks,Brian |

Pull a plug and hook it up to the wire while it sits on the valve cover. Have someone turn it over and watch for spark.
Check that your timing is still correct. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
