no start problem

[silentz]

I have a 1996 Toyota Corolla, it ran awesome for the past 2 years and suddenly it wont start. It cranks though.


What I did:

Replaced battery, all sparkplugs, cap rotor and wires, alternator and starter are good, fuses are good. I tested the to see if it produce spark and it doesnt on all 4 cyclinders. I borrowed an ECU from my friend's 96 corolla and still no start. I called up my cousin and he came over to swap the ignition module and still no go.

I dont know what else to do, any idea?

hmm, from the above list all I can think of is HT leads in wrong order or damaged so they're earthing before the sparkplug..?I'm baffled as to what else it could be tbh with so much bits changed etc....

[silentz]

i'm not sure what you mean by HT leads in wrong/damage, elaborate please?

thanks

with the amount of parts changed, I assume they could be another idea why you aren't getting spark to all 4 cylinders...
HT leads, the leads (or wires) that go from distributor to the sparkplugs...I didn't notice them in the parts changed so thought I'd suggest them.they may be in the wrong order, not be properly connected either side, or hve a cut in them causing the spark "signal" going through them to earth on the top of te engine itself...

Was all that work AFTER the no start or before?

all the parts changed was after the no start. I parked the car for almost a day and this happen.

as for the wires, i changed them when i bought the whole tune up package from Autozone and was very careful which wires goes where. I am sure they are in correct order.

Fuel Pump. Remove incoming line from filter and prime the pump, if no fuel squirts... bad pump.

If you aren't getting any spark, it could be the ignitor, or the ignition coil. On the 7A-FE the ignitor is located on the driver's side shock tower area. In the 4A-FE it is located inside the distributor.
