Timing Off aprox 90Deg? (was ECU/ECM Problems), So it finally died (renamed topic) Options

[Spider77]

A few days ago was driving the celica and out of nowhere it just died. Luckily enough I was able to get it towed to my house for free (well, insurance). Thing is she wont start. I know Im getting fuel, and compression checks ok. I'm not getting spark though, I've got it narrowed down to either the dizzy or the igntitor, some resistance readings tomorrow will clear that up. But in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone had problems with their ignitor before, and if you have, is the just a way to check the actual item, as opposed to ruling everything else out (by checking ECU, Ignition Coil, and connectors/harness)?

that notch is just for initial building of an engine. all you have to do is turn the crank so the pulley is on the 0 mark. then look at the marks on the cam gears. that will tell you if the timing is on.
