I have a 1988 F reg toyota corolla GTi, i was drivin along on a cold day and the car shut down and car engine light came on, i tried to push start it in 2nd and even reverse and also pushed it down the hill to get speed but that didnt work, i jump started it but still didnt work, its not the battery or the starter coz the starter is turnin but the engine just wont start, i think its an electrical fault but not exactly sure wot it is...any ideas?......

I agree. Also check to see if you have oil in spark plug areas.
