My 2003 Toyota Celica started acting up. When I go to crank it, it hesitates and then it won't go over 40mph. What could be wrong with it?

SOunds like the timing belt has broke. To check you can take off distributor cap and turn over engine and see if the rotor turns. If not you have a busted timing belt. Please rate this a fixya if this helps.Thanks!!!

Your diagnosis is correct. The check valve in the fuel pump is letting the gas drain out of the line from the injector rail, and cranking for a long time then starting is indicative of this. Replace the fuel pump.

SOURCE: 1994 Toyota Celica GT 1.8 ltr will crank, but will not start

it should be located along the frame some where. the best way to find it is to lift the car up and look at the fuel tank and follow the fuel lines to the motor and it should be some were between there

SOURCE: 2003 toyota celica wont crank after sitting in garage for 4 month

If you have a bad contacts at the battery, solenoid, ground and/or starter .. it could exhibit this kind of activity .. take the battery cables off the battery and clean those contacts till they are shiny, trace the ground wire to the frame/firewall and clean that contact (emery/sandpaper), and trace "hot" wire to solenoid/starter and make sure that they are clean and tight .. another possibility could be the neutral safety switch .. try starting it in neutral

Toyota Celica six 91 no spark after hesitation when accelerating over 2-3 months no died.

Check maf sensor. As a test, cable tie the connector to the MAF plug.

Check the repair manual also for instructions on troubleshooting

My 2003 chevy malibu cranks but wont start. battery is good and altenator is good

To clarify - - if the engine cranks the battery and starter are ok.
The alternator does not come into play until the engine is running.
If it cranks but won't start, you have to figure out if you are missing fuel to the injectors or spark to the plugs to proceed.
A mechanic would check that and if there are any trouble codes stored in the computer.

If the engine won't crank, it could be the starter, battery, connections, neutral safety switch, or key switch.
