i have a 5sfe engine. and sometimes the the car won't start. so im not sure what the problem is. im thinking its the computer, because it seems like the distrubutor isn't getting a spark, which would mean the computer right? what do you guys think? thanks

QUOTE (mt953 @ Sep 29, 2010 - 11:14 PM)  have you looked at the spark plugs any? yea. i just changed new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, new coil, used ignitor, used fuel pump, rebuilt distributor. its getting spark and fuel. it cranks, but it just doesn't start. so, i have no clue of what it could be now. im absolutly out of ideas. -------------------- ...5sFREAK...
