Help! Camry died!

[Eqoistig]

Camry died . Suddenly. No problems before. First it was hard to start, I thought it was nothing, but then it started to choke or something, like there was moisture in the dizzy. And just died.
Engine cranks normally, ECU gives no fault codes. And I have no tools. Distributorcap+wires, coil and rotator were changed last summer with cheap parts. Lucas cap and so on

I think there are three choices, 1)rotator or dizzycap are messed up because of cheap quality.

2) Fuelpump died

3) Timingbelt slipped and got fu*ked up.

Because I have no tools yet, I can't check anything, but codes, I can't do anything. If you have any good ideas what to check, please tell me...
I report more later. Car is Camry 2.0i -90 with 300kKm

well you can check if there's spark at the plug end of the wire

stick a pen or a fork in there and ground, crank it over... see if the spark jumps

[Eqoistig]

anyone?

[solidg]

Battery?

[Nick]

3 things,

spark at the plug, check that

crank the engine over with plugs out, does it smell like gas, then you got gas...

remove a valve cover, see if the valves are moving accordingly

its definetly not the battery, he said that it cranked normally

[Eqoistig]

There is no spark. Voltage found from icoil. Maybe powertransistor?

Sounds like you got voltage going to the coil, but no output from it.

Have you checked the coil for resistance and cracks?

Hows the rotor and dist. cap / wire set?

I had the exact same problem before. Replaced plugs, cap and everything with no go. Turned out that it was the starter. Get a new one.

[zoni]

its not the starter fool, read his post... ENGINE CRANKS NORMALLY!

[Eqoistig]

Yup, I must check resistance tomorrow, I couldn't today because of the shitty weather. Rotor, dist cap and wires looks good.

Note to self: Don't listen to DarkMastyr.

Whoops my mistake. I was thinking of a different time where it didn't turn over. I DID have this problem before though, but my problem was probably just some moisture in the distributor cap so all I did was keep revving the gas while it was cranking until the engine managed to start up. A couple days later the moisture disappeared and my car went back to normal.

[zoni]

moisture = crack

I had a problem where the car just shut off. Nothing wrong, but it would crank over no problem. Turned out to be the EFI fuse. Check the fuse boxes and see if they are broken.

[zoni]

yeah the efi fuse would make the car crank, but not TURN over... thats the trick that my boys were using the other night to test the supra motor before they started it completely...
