Toyota Repair: 96 Tacoma Wont Start, engine cranks, moning


Question
I have a 96 Tacoma with the 2.4 4 cyclinder engine.  After parking it in my garage last night, I went to start it this moning and the engine cranks fine but does not attemp to start.  Any ideas as to what the cause would be?  I have had no problems starting in the past and it has 130,000 miles on the engine.

Answer
There are no known chronic no start problems with this engine.
There are a few possibilities, there may be a loss of fuel pressure or a loss of current to the spark plugs, the first thing to check is to see if there is a spark at the plug wires, then check for fuel pressure and go from there.
One last thought, if there is an alarm system installed make sure it is not armed.
