 so a month ago i busted the drivers side trans axle. got that replaced. than that same day i noticed that my battery wasn't holding a charge so i took to advanced auto my battery tested good but my alternator came back as having a open diode or something of the sort. in short it was draining the battery so it would be dead 30 to 40 min after the car was shut off. my car sat for a week till i had the new alternator. got it in and everything was ok it seemed to not wanna turn over so later that night discovered that my starter had went out. so my car say another two weeks than i got a new starter. went to pop start it earlier this evening and nothing it wouldn't do a thing and the battery was dead so i had a friend come over and charged that battery than hooked my celica to his jeep to give me a pull hoping it would start so i could drive it over to his house and we would fix it in the morning but needless to say it was a epic failure. we ended up checkin the battery, that alternator all that and as we listened we noticed that if i turned the kep to accessory or even to start whether i was trying to crank it over or not the distributor was running non stop and when my friend was checking the wires he got shocked pretty good. so im not exactly sure whats wrong but i figured id lay it out and ask for help. any info would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance i just need to get this figured out before it drives me crazy

your description makes no sense. "distributor was running non stop" that is impossible.
Can you take a video to show everything that is happening? This post has been edited by Smaay: Jul 23, 2014 - 11:10 AM -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

Can you take a video to show everything that is happening? what i ment was that when i turn the key you can hear the starter spinning even when im not activly cranking it. current theory is theres a prob with the Ignition Control Module (ICM) but anyways ill try to get a video up as soon as i can . just gotta get my phone to charge and ill be golden |
