1992 camry wont start

[javac2005]

I have a 1992 Toyota Camry and about 180k . The car would not start.First I check all the fuels in the car they were all fine. Then I checked the car for spark and I found out there is no spark coming out. I also used the volt meter to test where the connecter on the side of the distributor. When I turn the key to on I get a reading around 12volts. So my next guess was the distributor. I check the ignition coil also by using the volt meter and it checked out fine (also brought the coil to Advanced Auto parts the guy did the same test to confirm). I then took apart the whole distributor to check any loose wire, I didn’t find any. NOW I am really lost… Can you help me ...

your inginator (not sure spelling) bad.if iginator bad you don't see spark. iginator is inside the distributor ...look flat inside distributor. you have to remove the distributor cap and you see fat iginator.


take pic posted on here... we'll help to point out...if you're not sure...

look fore inginator for crack...sometimes they're crack...

I checked Ignition coil
Primary coil resistance is 0.6
Secondary coil resistance is 12
i checked Distributor , it also good..

I dont know what esle to check

Look closely at the coil for cracks where it's potted. Sometimes they can ohm out OK but still be bad because of cracks. I suspect moisture gets in and resistance will check OK with the low voltage a meter applies. But the high voltage the coil generates internally shorts out to somewhere it shouldn't.

Did you confirm 12 volts to primary of coil? Using test light on primary when turning the engine over will confirm switching of igniter.

I also replace with deale coil but does not work. I also check input distribute with 12 voltate. i gest lost, but when i turn key on for 30 second the engine light does not go away

Does this car have a V6 or 4 cylinder?

Is there a security system installed?

This car is 4 cylinder?

Is the alarm system capable of disabling the car?... preventing it from starting? Those blasted things are a common source of problems.
