My daughters 2000 toyota celica gts will not start,it turns over and makes a whining noise in the engine while it does, any ideas.
Try reseting the alarm,maybe all thats needed.....
Three things are needed to cause firing of fuel in cylinders to cause the engine to run. Fuel, Air and spark in the cylinders.
1. Fuel sprays into cylinder during downward piston cycle
(intake stroke)
2. Air drawn into cylinder during downward piston cycle (intake)
3. Spark in cylinder near end of upward piston cycle
(compression)
4. Explosive combustion pushes cylinder piston down
(power stroke)
5. Valves open to remove exploded cylinder gases
(exhaust stroke)
Engine turns over but won't start:
1. Check for spark.
a. if spark not OK, remove distributor cap and verify distributor rotor rotates when engine start attempted
b. If rotor rotates OK (timing belt OK) check for proper voltages
to the coil
c. if rotor doesn't rotate, have it checked out/repaired by a qualified mechanic
2. If sparks OK, check for fuel to injectors
3. If fuel OK to injectors, verify fuel sprayed by injectors
4. If fuel sprayed by injectors, check spark timing
5. If spark timing OK and nothing found out by now, have it
checked out/repaired by a qualified mechanic
