Car will not start SolvedSolved

Toyota Corolla 2004 1.8l 100000 miles
I just got home, then went to go back out and the car will not start. All the lights, radio, air came on but nothing. I turned everything off and still nothing. The fuel pump sounded like it went on, but nothing from the starter. My guess is the starter is shot, but maybe a wire? If you have any insight, please let me know. It's an automatic

Check your ground wire on the battery and starter. Lots of times it's the one on the starter. If it's not that replace your starter.

Fuel not getting to injectors

Toyota Corolla 2001 Le 152000 miles
My 2001 Toyota recently died while I was driving home I was able to restart it and chug my way home. After that it would not start. Replace the fuel pump, check all plugs, fuse and spark plugs. Now it will start but runs only for a second or two and dies as if it's not getting enough gas. I can hear the fuel pump running when I start and when the car dies. Everything seems to be working no codes come up when plugging in. Not sure what to do now any suggestions?

You should change the gas line filter and also try Gas Line antifreeze it removes any water in the line.

Starting

Toyota Corolla 1992  75000 miles
After some hours of being stopped, I couldn't start driving my car. The engine started running but that was all, it could not be driven. I've checked and there is no spark in the spark plugs, and even the fuel pump seems to be not working. Apparently, there is no electrical current reaching the distributor. I personally believe it might be a computer's failure, can someone give me a hand please?

You should check that there is some noise for 3-4 seconds indicating that there is fuel pumped to the injectors. There might be some failure between the ECU and the relay. The best you can do is go to a good diagnostic center.

Which delay? The ECU relay? Where is it located?

Car intermiddently starts.

Toyota Corolla 2003 1.4 vti 75000 miles
Car can be fine and starts without a hitch but then occasionally decides not to start after having stopped somewhere for a break. Engine is cranking and it's not possible to bump start the car by lifting the clutch so pretty sure battery is fine. Plugs recently changed. Mechanic couldn't diagnose and refused to believe it was fuel pump as car would cut out when running which it doesn't. Sometimes I wait 10mins and it miraculously starts again as if there was no problem. Bit frustrating really as you never know if it's going to play ball on not on any particular day. Help!!

Sean from other 2 years ago
It turned out in my case to be a problem with the immobiliser. The previous owner had cut a key that was not coded to the car. When used, it sent the whole thing haywire. Needed to pay to get keys recoded and has been fine since

Bruce from United States a year ago
There are a few things that could be causing the issue with your Toyota Corolla not shifting gears properly. Some potential causes could include:

A faulty shift solenoid: Shift solenoids control the flow of transmission fluid, which is necessary for proper gear shifting. If the solenoid is faulty or stuck, it could cause shifting issues.
A damaged or worn clutch: If the clutch is worn or damaged, it may not be able to engage and disengage properly, which can cause shifting issues.
A transmission control module (TCM) issue: The TCM is the computer that controls the transmission and gear shifting. If it is malfunctioning, it could cause shifting issues.
Transmission fluid level or quality: If the transmission fluid is low or contaminated, it can cause shifting issues.
It's worth noting that these are just a few potential causes, and there could be other issues at play as well.

Voltage to fuel pump

Toyota Corolla 2000 1.8 liter 165000 miles
Fuel pump does not get voltage when key is turned on, but will get voltage to run pump and start engine when engine is cranking, most of the time. Also, has new relay. This started when original pump failed, and was replaced.

No Spark But Still Turning Over Just Not Firing up

Toyota Corolla 1993 AE93 Corolla CSI  200000 miles
Hey I have a AE93 corolla I've recently done a service to it that includes, (oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, dropping the oil flushing the old oil out and refilling it with new oil, Cleaning the throttle body with Carby clean) once I did all that I went for a night drive and as i was coming back home the car made a small thud noise then there was no response to the accelerator as I lost speed, I got it back home and went to diagnose the problem but no luck the car still is turning over just no spark I've pulled the rocket cover to see if it just stripped a gear but the distributor is strait connected to the cam shaft were unsure on what it could be were expecting it to be the coil in the distributor unless you guys know anything else it could be, cheers
