trouble starting in the morning

[sbeausol]

recently i had some starting problems on my 92 camry. basically, it wouldn't start, it would turn over but not fire. i thought the issue was the distributor/rotor so i changed those along with the plugs and plug wires. After the change it started right up. Now, my issue seems to be that every morning, it is quite tough to start basically turning over, but not sparking. eventually it does, and them i am good for the rest of the day. Any thoughts on what my issue is? I will say that it didn't seem like the new distributor (aftermarket) didn't fit as well as the OEM distributor?

any help is appreciated.

where did u get the distributer, is it toyota OEM? what about the battery, battery cables and connections, are they in good condition? if it only does it after sitting for a long period of time(like over night) its possible it may be a fuel problem as well.

Temperature sensitive engine problems can sometimes be traced to a faulty ECT ... engine coolant temperature sensor .... There is a temperature vs. resistance chart ... See Gen 4 Diagnostic section of repair manual .. that will allow you to get some idea about the performance or behavior of the ECT.
Download manuals as required ... info should be located at top of the forum page.

check the battery cables and the battery cable connector and if not that it could be that after market distributor.

so the hard morning starts finally killed my battery. I decided to pull the coil out and replace it. As of right now, it seems to have dramatically improved the morning start, but we'll see if that lasts, my reasoning i suppose is that the spark was to weak for morning starts, but who knows. Hoping this cures it for good.
