celica won't start

[3SGTE@daSpeedof]

I thought it was my starter, so I swapped it out. I took in my battery and it wasn't holding a charge so I got a new one and it still won't start. What else would cause this? what specific sensors am I looking at needing to test?

check your alternator

More info. What exactly does it do when the key is turned? Detail.

[3SGTE@daSpeedof]

it clicks like its trying to start, I'm gonna check my coil & ignitor I believe it could be one of those. What other info do you need, I have been driving it for a few weeks, the battery was not holding a charge, so I figured thats why I was having a hard time starting it for the last couple of days

Does the motor do anything at all? Chug or anything like that?

[3SGTE@daSpeedof]

I really believe its spark related

[19Celi87]

The clicking is the sound of the spark. (If it is the click I'm assuming)


If nothing is going on with the motor, it may be mechanical and not electrical.

any luck yet ty?

Reading the preceeding posts, it seems I don't have all of the details. Does the engine crank and not start or does it not crank at all? It sounds like it is just clicking. If this has only happened since the swap then it has to be something stupid. I know you can have problems if the ground to the motor is overlooked or broken. I replace mine automatically when I do swaps to be sure.

I found out that my efi fuse was blown, hence the reason it wouldn't start, duh!!

I know I overlooked the little thing of just checking my fuses. But when I ran my cel codes it came back with two cel errors. 24 & 32, would they cause me to only be reading 6psi on my boost gauge? And what else would cause this?

Today its only hitting 5psi.
