Hi guys, after driving for a bit today i stopped at the local autoshop for about 5 min then when i went to leave the car wouldnt start. the engine would turn over but not fire (didnt even work jumpstarting it. the exhaust made noise while rolling but there were no rev's).. then, after about 20 minutes of letting it sit for a bit it started with no problem.. then again when i got home it wouldnt start.. any idea's???? would be much appreciated

main bearing wouldnt cause that. it'd run till it blows up.
sounds like a coil, or loose connection. check your codes. that will point you in the right direction -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
