Toyota Repair: corolla wont start ocaisonally, computer mike, engine computer


Question
Hi Mike- I have a 97 corolla. 161,000mls. Car has been not starting every couple days. I had the starter replaced, new battery installed and a loose wire tightened that was connected to starter. Still acting up, it makes no sound at allwhen it happens, completely dead. Its frustrating because it runs great and I come out of a store and its dead. It usually starts the next day. Any ideas? Thanks-Judy

Answer
See if when it doesnt start you have a check engine light lit on the dash with the key on.
If no you may have a bad efi main relay.
Whenever the key is on and the check engine light is out(not running) there is no power the the engine computer.
