car was running rough so i changed fuel filter.
now car won't start.
engine turns over and if i spray starting fluid
it sputters but won't run.

loosened top nut on fuel filter
and has lots of pressure.
fuel spayed out, so re tightened nut.

checked efi relays and efi fuses

then replaced coil inside distributor

tapped on igniter with small hammer.

still no start.

 

also. no check engine light

does this mean igniter is shot ?

 

just tried a new igniter.
no luck.

heading back to buy a distributor

 

just tried ditributor
model number R0121D04
richporter

G09
874183000696
ty33


kit came complete with new distributor cap and new plug wires.


still no spark.

 

Have you checked for ign spark at the coil? Remove the coil wire at the dist cap and hold about 1/2 inch from a ground. Check for ign spark.

Check for 12V (ign on) at the coil battery terminal (black/orange wire).

 

what will this tell me ?

 

You have replaced most of the ign parts but have checked to make sure the coil is making spark or receiving 12V power?

If the engine tries to run on starter fluid it has spark but no fuel.

 

took car to shop.
Toyota placed diagnostic reader on car.
code says mass air flow censor has short.

replaced mass air flow censor. and car starts right up.

arggh!
