98 camry no start

Asked by Patrick Aug 05, 2019 at 10:39 PM about the 1998 Toyota Camry LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Cars been fine with no dash lights since I bought it
6 months ago, last night on cruise control as soon
as we got to the top of the hill it died (didn't sputter,
didn't make and abnormal noises at all, just died
almost like if you lost all fire). Going down the hill
we put it in neutral tryed to start it back up would
just crank. Got the car home a couple hours ago
and just really got stumped. I get in the car to turn
it over and she turns over just fine with the brand
new starter (2 days old). stuck a screw driver in all
the plug wires and shocked the hell out of me all 4
wires so I'm getting damn good spark. fuel pump is
kicking on when I turn the engine over so I
unscrewed the fuel line from the filter to the fuel
rail and gas is plentifuly coming out of the fuel
filter. I'm really stumped because it just died out of
nowhere and it getting good spark and fuel so why
isn't it at the lest TRYING to fire???? Thankyou very
much for your help -mr. Egan

think failing distributor could be a cause? Those are intermittent fails and hard to isolate and even trying to reproduce symptoms
