I'm having problems starting my car. While I was driving the car all of a sudden died and won't start. I replaced the coil, spark plug wires, cap and rotor and am getting no spark when I pull the plug wire and touch it to the block. The car is cranking too.

Any ideas?

 

Did you check all the fuses? Definitely check ECU fuse under hood, but check them all. Another likely culprit is ignitter.

 

haha about 3 months ago I was showing a buddy what it was to " pop the clutch " he had never seen it done before ... Long story short when i shut the car off (rolling down a hill ) and tried to pop it .. the car died..... it would try to turn over but couldent get there ..... long story short ... I tryed jumping it didnt happen called a toe truck ... turns out that all my showing off had bounced the bat fuse loose .... (under the hood )

 

checked all the fuses, we're guessing it might be the timing belt.

 

..and you haven't checked it yet?

Also, did you get any check engine lights?

 

we played around with it earlier today, but gave up. Just thought of timing belt right now.

He did get a bunch of lights on the dashboard when the car died.

Not my car though, it's my friends. An 86 Toyota Camry, so...

Could be the infamous MAIN FUEL RELAY.

 

You may have a bad ignitor if you replaced all of those things and the car still wont spark. The ignitor is located inside of the distributer. It will run you $80-90 for a new one if in fact that is your problem.

 

Same problem here tought it was the ignitor toke off my timing belt cover low and behold one busted timing belt
