Toyota Repair: 2001 Toyota sienna ingition issues, toyota sienna, timing belt


Question
Tonight my van died amd will not restart.  The engine will turn over fine, but it will not run.  I had driven the van all day, stopped for a while and then left another store.  I was leaving the parking lot, stepped on the gas and it took off nomally but then died. The engine sounds good when cranking, but it just simply will not start. Any ideas, is there an ignition module, or may be an EFI problem.  Please help, the car has 118,000 on it.

Answer
It sounds like the timing belt may have jumped on the gears so I would recommend checking the condition of the timing belt first, these engines have no known issues with complete ignition system failures, it does not use a distributor or ignition module, it uses coil packs on the three cylinders on the cylinder head near the radiator, the spark is controlled by the computer, the only other thing I can think of is fuel pump failure so if the timing belt is not the cause the fuel pump pressure should be tested.
