Hey Guys. I've got a 1996 GT and my car will start, run for anywhere between 30-90 seconds, shut off and then you'll hear anywhere between 4-10 audible "ticks" coming form the distributor (which I'm assuming is the coil still firing). The car then does not turn on after that. No spark is present once it shuts off.
I replaced the cap as it was slightly damaged and then I also replaced the igniter as I know they do go bad on Toyotas. Still having thi sissue though. Anyone able to lend a helping hand on troubleshooting this issue? My next thought is either a bad distributor, bad circuit opening relay or bad ecu, but I'm sure there are other things to look at. Thanks. This post has been edited by luisitol: May 10, 2011 - 11:00 AM |

Our cars have only internal coils. there is a primary lead and secondary lead that you used to test it
