Not starting AGAIN - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Apparently, there WAS something wrong the other day when my car wasn't starting. Tonight, I stopped at an intersection, and the car stalled. Then it wouldn't start. Three hours later, it STILL won't start. Thank god for friends with AAA. I am having it towed back to the house in a few minutes.

It's cranking, but it's not starting. We tried jumping it, but that didn't work (I didn't fiugre it would The battery seemed fine, and it's brand new). We tried roll starting it, but that didn't work either.

I am absolutely at a loss. There was NO problem since the last time it wouldn't start, and even that time it started after I just left it alone for a couple of hours.

I was SUPPOSED to be going home tomorrow (from GA back to Mississippi), but I guess that's not going to happen.....

Help?

Things to check

1. Fuel filter as mentioned but very unlikely
2. Dizzy cap (distributer cap)
3. Rotor arm
4. Broken main ignition lead
5. Fuel Line breaks
6. Fuel Pump
7. faulty imobilizer (if there is one)
8. ECU connections
9. Fuses, both in the car and in the engine bay.

Good luck
