After replacing my distributor on my 89 toyota corolla it wont start

Most likely just jarred the coil wire out. Check that the coil wire is all the way into the coil.

Start the car and lift up the coil inserts from the spark plugs one by one. By doing so if the engine does not stall that cylinder has a problem. The problem may be due to the defective igniter, fuel injector, high tension cord, weak cylinder compression or a distributor assembly. Some models have distributor less ignition system.
To check the igniter check the 12V at the input lead which is entering the igniter amplifier in the distributor and the output voltage at the spark plug wire. If it is so the igniter is ok. If it is not starting at all or is giving intermittent problem, replace the distributor assembly.

may be coils are damaged or there is corrosion in the distributor...the arm in the distributor might not be touching the metal for each coil and could not deliver current...

The Year 1998 Toyota Corolla engine will stall due to:
Spark plug faulty
High-tension cord faulty
Ignition problems:
• Ignition coil
• Igniter
• Distributor
Incorrect ignition timing
Vacuum leaks:
• PCV line
• EGR line
• Intake manifold
Throttle body
• Brake booster line
Incorrect valve clearance
EFI system problems
Engine overheats
Low compression

Test the ignition system output, ignition systems can vary in configuration but operate on the same principal. Ignition systems can consist of a coil, pick up coil, crank angle sensor, cam angle sensor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, ignition rotor and a distributor and any variations of these components. An ignition coil is a voltage stepper coil that transforms a low voltage (12 volts) signal into tens of thousands of volts needed to jump the gap of the spark plug.

This coil is activated by an ignition module triggered by using the camshaft/crankshaft angle sensor; timing is adjusted by the PCM (computer).This primary electrical signal is generated by the PCM which calculates spark timing by using a variety of sensors including coolant temperature, mass air flow, and oxygen sensors. Go to 2carpros.com for a video on how to check this using a 12v light tool. On the engine repair section search, type, "engine cranks but will not start." If my answer helpe you, please leve good feedback. thanks

crankshaft sensor, or computer on toyotas then it was usually the distributor or the computer, but the crankshaft sensor might be bad too thats what helps to get you spark.

Check HALL sensor , it's probably inside the distributor , another name for it is a camshaft position sensor.

check your fuses first
check your ignition coil for burn or crack
if not then replace the whole distributor, because the distributor has a life time warranty.
if you buy the igniter and the coil separate it will end up cost you more and you don't have good warranty

Check the ignition relay and all the main relays on the battery.

if its throwing a little spark,it means the coil's about to give up.
