98 toyota corolla le died out while going down the road. will not start, was told at first engine locked up the engine is not locked up, the starter will not engage when the key is turned
Check the connection at the battery terminals and other electrical connections.
the starter or the solenoid may be defective. please check by connecting two wires from the batter (+, -) to the solenoid's + and - posts. the positive is at the center and the - may be grounded to the chassis. if it clicks the solenoid is okay also check the ignition switch at the steering wheel. there may be loose connection or contact when you turn the key. or the flywheel teeth are damaged. by the way, does the engine crank?.

when the key is turned to the on position the dash lights come on but when you turn it to start the starter doesn't engage. Also, the fuses have been checked and they have traced back as many electricial wires as possible. there are quite a bunch of them...
any other thoughts... thanks for your input oscaramanse .. we do know that the timing change has to be changed but it didn't come off
