so the new timing belt is in and everything is back together. i tried to start the car and it fires once and then just turns over. it sounds like a timing issue but i rechecked everything and its all fine. i just got in my nology hotwires and nology silver spark plugs. my cap and rotor are fairly well worn but it ran before just fine on them. it seems to be getting fuel but lacking in spark so that is the only thing i can come up with. my battery is a little dead but i hooked a charger up to it and cranked it over on engine start with 12-13 volts to the coil. if anyone has any ideas other than cap and rotor let me know. thanks alot

Hey guys i think have a similar issue as 6g84celica...... i own a 5sfte... after i finish servicing my car.. took it for a run down the road... everything was good. then when i went for second run... about 80km (in Australia).. the car just died out... like it just stop... i tried looking for and looses wire or unplug cap from the distributor and ignition side they were all good.. but when i turn the key to start it, the starter activates but the car just wont start or fire up... i check my battery, starter, distributor, ignition and alternator.. they were all fine... the only thing i havent check is the timing belt...

do you guys think that its my timing belt to?
god help us...

sounds like it. thats what my problem was but take a multimeter and check for voltage to your coil and check the main ground bolted to the bottomside of the intake. also try to run a diagnostic test on your ecu to check for codes. its not hard to pop off the top timing belt cover though so you mise well check that right away. good luck

yeah my timing belts fine..... so now i need check for voltage to my coil and main ground bolted..
