Hey guys, I am a lurker on here. As the title states I have a bit of an issue. The car is auto. It will start fine when cold, it will drive fine for a day. But then all of a sudden it just wont start randomly. What is happenning when I turn the key is it kind of sounds like the timing belt snapped, but when I put my foot on the gas it starts making a different sound and its like its just about to start but just doesnt catch, take my foot of the gas goes back to the sound where is sounds like a broken timing belt.
If I leave it for a couple hours, it starts right up like nothing happenned. (not sure if its a temperature thing) Things I've changed recently to solve the issue (not in order): - Distributor - Starter - spark plugs - fuel pump I have a feeling its a bad ground or a temp sensor or something. Do you guys know a link for the actual Toyota manual for this car? Thanks guys. Let me know what you think. |

Do our cars have knock sensors? I know a bad knock sensor will send a faulty signal and the engine will fire incorrectly. Same as bad cam or crank sensor.
