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 |

Well I fixed it yesterday. No spark... I pulled the cap and there was quite a lot of oil in there that wasn't when i changed the coil (bad seals)... Not to mention my not very old coil had a huge crack in it. I pulled the distributor and decided to swap it with a new one. No more oil leak and it started right up! Timed it and its back on the road! Thanks for all the help guys.
