Check your battery and alternator connections for tightness. Does it crank over, but won't start? If it won't even crank over, then likely some connection did come loose, like an alternator connection, possibly your fusible link (near the battery).
If it does crank, but won;t start: You'll just have to start from scratch to find the problem. Try to determine if it's fuel or ignition-related. Check for spark at a plug wire. If you have spark, then ignition is not the problem. Check if your fuel pump works. When you turn key on, you should hear the pump buzz on for a couple of seconds. It should also be on when cranking and running, but you can only hear it, or should, when you first turn key to on. If your toyota has a schrader valve on the fuel rail (a valve for checking pressure-it looks like a typical air valve, like on your tire, but is for attaching a fuel pressure gauge) if it has one punch the center with a little screwdriver-gas should shoot out if you have any fuel pressure, If not, have your fuel pressure checked.good luck.

2014 Toyota Highlander Looses power while driving

I would think it is a plugged fuel filter/fuel line. The blockage moves away when you stop and then when you drive again it blocks the gas flow again.

Will not start up, nor will it idle. Must hit the gas for it to stay alive.

No sure why throttle body would keep a car from turning over. I have had a couple cars which ran ok at higher speed and wanted to die when I came to a stop. Spark plug wires and plugs worked for me. Sorry I cannot be of more help but that is all I got. Have you checked for any trouble code associated to the check engine light.

1993 Toyota Camry can be running fine when you come to stop dies.

I would think that it is one of two common problems...

1) The Idle Air Control (I.A.C.) valve may be bad.

2) The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (E.G.R.) valve may be stuck open.

You may need a skilled technician to determine which of the two possibilities is the problem.

94 toyotq celica gt wont start

I had a broken wire that runs the power from the battery to the fuse box under the hood in my 94 Celica. It had symptoms of a bad battery or alternator. I spliced the wire and haven't had any issue since then.
