1994 Camry LE Wont Start, 5S-FE

[FGFennec]

Got into the car today to go out for some food and the car would not start. It turns over and the battery has good charge. Upon further investigation, the spark plugs were in dire need of replacement, so I went and did that as well, hoping it would solve my problems. It didnt, the car still turns over like its trying to start, but its acting like there is no spark, or no fuel, both not what i want to be dealing with right now. We pulled out one of the plugs and started the car again, hoping to see the plug sparking to get me a step closer to getting my car running again, but the plug didnt seem to be sparking at all. We tried another method of testing for spark by sticking a screwdriver into the plug wire and arcing the charge to the engine hoist bracket on the front of my motor. No spark there as well.

I replaced the O-Ring on the distributer only 3 weeks ago and under close inspection of the internals of the distributer, there was no oil or anything inside of it that might have caused it to fail and the leak which led me to change the O-Ring has stopped.

I'm at a loss of things to do as its seeming my car isn't getting spark, or fuel.

Pics of the Distributer Repair, maybe a skilled eye might be able to see something I havnt.

Also, to try and explain this better...I recorded a small video of the problem, as well as a vocal explanation of whats going on.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.

First of all, remove the distributor cap and rotor and check for cracks or any sign of arcing on both parts. If those check out ok, then the most common cause of a no-spark condition on Camrys with a distributor is a defective coil. You need to check the coil with a digital volt/ohmeter and the specs from any manual.

While you have the distributor cap off have someone turn the key and turn the engine over. If the rotor doesn't spin around then the timing belt is broken, resulting in no spark.
