95 Camry Won't Start
The car was working with no problems. It then sat in the garage for 2
days, until I backed it into the driveway, where it sat another day. It started with no problems when I backed it up. A freeze came in that night if that is relevant. Now, the car won't start. The lights work, interior lights work, and the engine sounds like it is turning over but it never actually starts. I used a spark tester to see if I was getting any sparks, and I do have a spark. I tried to listen in the gas tank while the car was turned on and I couldn't hear a fuel pump. I took off the oil cap over the cam and had someone try to start while I watched the cam. The cam didn't move. Any ideas on what I should check next? What are the odds that the timing belt AND the fuel pump went bad at the same time? It was easy to check fuses, is there an easy way to check relays? |

It was easy to >check fuses, is there an easy way to check relays? If you are starting the car and it cranks over and you do not see the cam turning, then you probably have a broken timing belt. The car would definitely not start under that condition. Are you sure the car is cranking over? Chances the fuel pump works.... when you turn the key to the on position, you should hear a slight click of some kind....thats the fuel pump.... good Luck Fwed |
