QuestionI have a 92 Toyota corolla. It had a major oil leak and needed a belt changed. My husband changed the oil seal and removed the pulleys to clean them, removed the distributor cap to set the timing, then the car was running but terribly, seemed as if way too much fuel was getting into the mix. After he removed the belt again to reset the camshaft and crankshaft, after that the car would turn over but not start.
We towed the car to the auto shop I work at, the dismantled, cleaned and reassembled the head and changed spark plugs and basically did a overhaul of the engine, it was determined that while electrical current was getting to the distributor, the signal was not leaving the distributer to get to the computer or the fuel injectors. I'm reluctant to purchase a 300 dollar ECM or 200 dollar distributor when those parts worked before, if there is simply a burned out relay switch or contact. What do you think?
AnswerCrank it a while and see if it gives you a code.
Seems odd it fired ok before the work.
cvheck all fuses and connections again.
I doubt its an ecu, they only usually fail when shorted or when thry get wet.
Did you put a bolt in the cam scissor gear when you took it out?
