ignition problem
 
I have a 95 toyota camry with 150,000 miles. The car died out on me while driving. Once I got it home, I changed the spark plugs and I started the car and it ran for about a minute then died out. It cranks but will not start. I then changed the ignition coil and I started the car and it ran again for about a minute and then died out again. It now cranks but will not start. Any advice?

Verify that your timing belt has not broken or skipped a tooth or two (or three). Are you getting spark to the plugs?

I'm assuming 4 cyl'd. You'll have to perform some checks, there is no magic to this. Go here for how to:

We can help but can only suggest areas to check. Could be anything from bad coil to bad ECU. Try to resist just buying replacement parts on guesses.

There are several components in your ignition system which can cause a problem. If you have a Haynes manual, go through the tests for ditributor gap, etc and check out the tolerances in the distributor. In my 95 it was a problem with the ignitor...I got it from the junkyard for $30.
