1992 Toyota Privia won't start. Intermittent problem of starting, dying while iddeling. Missing while driving, but not dying. And not starting at all. Replaced the coil. No success. All this happened after the van innitially and all of a sudden started running badly with low compression going uphill. Replaced the spark plugs, distributor with rotor and wires and the van ran smooth for 2wks then the starting and itermittent problem.

Go back into the rotor cap and check it for carbon tracking, and check the rotor button for carbon/ melting, its possible the coil. make sure you have good fuel pressure and that it hasnt jumped time.

2005 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder intermittently won't start

try starting the car and while running disconnect the negative battery cable,if the car still runs turn on the head lights,if the car dies the alternator is weak. I think its weak and can charge the battery as long as the lights are off,but cant keep up when theyare on. so if drive most of the time in the day time you are ok as long as you dont have to start the car too many times. when you drive with the lights on and the engine slows to an idle like when you park the car dies. make sense?

I have a 92 Toyota paseo and it starts but sputters and dies when I putnit into first gear? What could be the problem?

I once had a problem like this one, the car started but when i put in on drive the engine died.
This was because the engine moved when put in drive, and a ground to the injectors was lose, so just got it tight and problem fixed.

Start your engine and move the harness a bit if it dies there's a lose wire.

Hope this helps. Good luck..
