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. |

It's difficult to diagnose something like this over the Internet. I say check spark and fuel. Do you have a security system that could be cutting fuel? Timing could have skipped a tooth but I'm overlooking that right now. Did anything you replaced affect the issue at all? Check your IAT to make sure it's plugged in and working. No check engine light, I assume?
