Stock 1994 Celica GT (zero modifications). Manual trans.
Driving along and the car shuddered 3 times before dying and not starting back up. Cranks normal, sounds healthy, good fluids and battery voltage. I can hear the fuel pump running. Cranks but won't fire with starting fluid. Assuming its not the fuel system at this point. The car is in very fine condition mechanically and routinely serviced. New coil 3000 miles ago. ECU was swapped 10k ago because of a bad capacitor. No prior problems. No service engine codes. Any ideas where to start? Thanks,Brian |

Check your cap and rotor. One time my rotor must not have been torqued well enough and ended up breaking somehow and I had similar shudders and lost the ability to start the car back up after shutting it off.
