I have 1994 Toyota Pickup, it died while I was driving it and would not restart. I am sure that it is not my starter, alternator, battery, fuel pump, spark plugs, coil,relay switch's, fuses, EFI, timing or distributor cap. My uncle is a mechanic and his best friend own a garage and I had it towed there and they can't figure out what is wrong. There are just swapping parts to try to fix it, they said that it is something small and rare that goes out. He said that in order for a auto to start you have to have three things fuel, got it, compression, got it, and spark, got that. One thing that I am concerned about is the spark plugs are covered in carbon and wet with fuel. I am just looking for some suggestions? I am hoping that maybe someone else has had this problem and knows something we don't. Like I said they have already check all the normal things that go out on a auto and we are now starting on the rare things that go out.

SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!!
 
your timing sounds out of wack, like you are not sparking when you should be. did you break the timing belt? cause if a plug is wet with fuel and you have spark like you say there is no reason it shouldent fire unless something bad happened with timeing
 
Hi Amanda.. Water and carbon will kill a vehicle honey..:-)) A timing belt will too?! If their mechanics hon, they should know to check the basic stuff, plugs, belts..etc. How's the oil in her?? I've seen this happen too often, loss of oil causes stoppage..
Wrong grade of fuel will do that or one that has water in it..

Good Luck honey, if you need more ideas please drop me a line, ok?? I hate to see a lady stuck..:-))
