92 Corolla won't start

[Kosingigglephits]

Ok, I need the advice of the import tuners here. I have a PoS 92 Toyota Corolla (Fuel Injection) that won’t start. Here is what happened, the car has been running great for over the past month, (Actually longer) and then yesterday a co-worker and I went to go to lunch. I started the car without issue, backed out and proceeded to drive. I got about 15 feet and the car just died. I dropped it in Neutral and tried to restart it, all I got was a fast sounding attempt to start. I pulled back into a parking spot and tried it again but got the same thing. I popped the hood and had my co-worker try and start it while I watched the belts to see if they were even rotating. (My fear here was the timing belt snapped.) but everything was spinning as it should be. I remembered that when my TB snapped on my old Escort that nothing happened at all so I kind of ruled that out. My next thought was something with the fuel line. Either the pump, filters, or something in the line. So I let the car sit and tried it again when work was over but it still just spun. I’m going to try and get the car home this weekend and try to find the filter that’s supposed to be close to the engine. I’m not messing with the tank because I don’t know enough about that part and don’t feel comfortable trying it! LOL I was hoping that maybe someone here may know what the problem may be, I remember back on my old 73 Montego (high school days) it had a solenoid and I wonder if this car has one as well? I’ll have to see what I can find out regarding that. But, if anyone has any other ideas, thoughts or suggestions please let me know!

Did you see the camshaft spinning? The starter spins the crankshaft, which in turn spins the waterpump, alternator, etc. When did you last have the timing belt changed? If the timing belt is broken the camshaft won't spin although everything else appears to spin.

Sorry guys, I haven't been able to get ot my PC until now, and that isn't for very long weither! LOL

It's an AT. it sounds like the starter is engaging, I can see the belts spinning so that tells me something is at least rotating the motor in some way.

Although KimMG has an interesting point. I remember when the Tb on my Ford Escort snapped and it did nothing at all. From that experience (and I was assuming it was this way for all cars with a TB and I prob shouldn't.) that this would be the same.

Thoughts?

check your ignition system....its probably not firing...check your cap, rotor, plugs, wires, and ignition coil...let me know it this helps at all
