Take off the distributor cap. Have someone watch the rotor while the engine turns over. If the rotor doesn't move the timing belt is broken.

Check the coil. These generation 2 Camrys have a history of defective coils. They develop a hairline crack over time and short themselves to anything metal inside the distributor.
