Toyota Repair: 93 Toyota Camry - Starting Problems., toyota camry, toyota dealer


Question
I was driving my daughters Camry when it sudenly cut off and stopped on the road. Engine performance was OK prior to. Had Gasoline and Battery Ok, new Spark Plugs, Wires Distributor Cap, Oil & Air Filters. Engine turns but will not start. Towed home.  Now, when engine is cold or the car is started after sitting for hours or days the engine starts on first attempt but cuts off in 3 seconds. On further attempts to start the engine, it turns 2 - 3 times, then the Starter make sounds and get hot not turning anymore as if the engine is binding and will not spin. Starter tested at autozone, they say it has no problem, got a new one anyway. The new one does the same as the OK old one. Oil pan was removed to see if any of the rod and pistons have problem, the engine turns manually.  Car is 175k miles and runs perfectly but now will not start or continue to run. Could it be elctrical problem or sensor problem?  Which ones?  Can not seem to find answer in repair manuals. 3 mechanics have not been able to get it running. A code could not be gotten because battery was disconnected thinking the problem was the starter initially.  Please help sir!

Answer
This answer may sound symplistic but has anyone checked to see if the timing belt has slipped on the gears? The engine timing may be off becuse of this.
You need to find out if there is spark to the spark plugs and if so the fuel pressure has to be checked next, the engine needs these two basic things to run but the timing has to be correct also and there has to be compression and the fuel injectors have to work correctly.
I have no confidence in those three mechanics that can't figure out a simple no start/run condition and I advise that you take the car to someone else that knows what they are doing even if it means taking it to the toyota dealer.
