Well heres the low down.... I have a 94 Celica GT. About 2 months ago it starting giving me trouble with starting up. Usually it would be after work on a hot day and when I was low on gas. In the morning it would crank up fine. So I replaced the Fuel Filter. Seemed to work fine for a while then the trouble would start up again. So I went to the Fuel Pump and changed that out. Now it starts up fine but its jerking like a misfire (changed the spark plugs about 4 months ago so I know its not that) when I drive it and actually made the check engine light come on. Questions: Could it be the strainer on the fuel pump as I put the old one back on the new Pump? Or is this a new problem??

Usually if something is off with the distributor it'll throw code 12? pretty sure that's the one, regardless it should throw a code. That or if you take off the cap and it looks like copper spaghetti, you have a problem. A sure fire way(pun not intended) of knowing is to check for spark with a plug touching the manifold at night. Spark is really easy to see, and do it for each point.

The cap was changed aroun 1 month ago, the code was fot the EGR valve, i already chaged it, and a lot of more stuff. now, what i saw today was that the mechanic just damage the inlet to the engine spark plug  now, i think that should be a problem because that spark plug didnt get enough deep like the others, can be that the cause of the problem?? before that damage, the car had the same problem.sorry for my english
