Corolla cranks but will not run
I have a 1990 Corolla (Geo Prizm actually, but Prizms have Corolla engine) with about 100K miles on it. Of late, the car has been giving me trouble starting. I have to crank it multiple times to start the car. That is: I crank, stop, wait 10 seconds, crank again and it runs. However, sometimes, I just cannot get it to run. I crank repeatedly and nothing happens. Whenver this happens, I have always been able to get it running with a push start. Also, it has never stopped while running. I have replaced the distributor cap, spark plugs and wires. The disgnostic code I get is 43 (NO "STA" SIGNAL TO ECU UNTIL ENGINE SPEED EXCEEDS 800RPM). I suspect that I am getting this code because I push started the car. I would like to keep this car for a while more - any suggestions on what might be the problem? I deperately need this car to keep me going!

depending on how well you know your mechanic there is a tool/equipment they can use to check each part of your distributor to see exactly what is bad. you may want to ask about that cause it kinda sounds like a distro problem to me, but then again all i have is a rough description and ive had alot of distro problems lately.
