Well toyota calls me today and turns out the mechanic workin on my car was in my HS auto mechanics class and he has worked there for 8 yrs! i graduated in 96. He explains to me the ignition coil inside the distributor is bad and is putting 7ohms of resistance and max is 4!! So he says no spark getting thru. I said i just put that stupid OEM REMAN in sunday. He tells me.... well, its a bad reman. So they tell me it will cost $244 + tax to fix so i have them put in a new toyota distributor and since i work across the street at the chevy dlr they are gonna knock some of the labor and parts and even throw in a coupon! Since they felt sorry for me wasting my money and want me to come back to them first before hand. I sure as hell will now!!
So i call pep boys and tell them the prob and they are going to refund my money and give me the core back. $140 back for that towards toyota repair per pep boys mgr!
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!

I realize this thread was last active almost 18 months ago but thank you for taking the time to come back and post the final outcome. I found this thread while doing a search on a problem I was having with my car and this thread was very helpful. I was having very similar symtoms and it turned out to be the same problem. Again,, thank you for posting the outcome.
