I have got a 99 Corolla Levin/Seca ( not to sure which as the car doesn't have the badges, and nowhere int he paper it says what it is). Anyway, got home one night from going to the shop and got to our front gate and the car just died. Sort of like it stalled (but it wasn't in gear). It made no unusual noises when it died. Haven't been able to get it started since. It tries to start, but cam don't turn, pretty sure crank shaft is turning. Pretty sure there is no problem with the cranks shaft. Had a read on a few forums, and a lot said that it may of been the fuel pump (which is in gas tank), so we bought a new fuel pump put that in, and still nothing. Nothing else on any other forums have given us any idea as to what it maybe, so am hoping someone on here may be able to give us a few suggestions. We live bout 10km's out of town so it is a little difficult for us to get it to a mechanic, or get one to come to us. We are not with the RAA either.

Please Help as i do like this car, and would love to get it working again.

Thanks

First thing im going to ask, is do you have fuel in your tank? next, check your distributor cap and make sure there is no moisture.

Yes there is half a tank of petrol, and there is no moisture in the distributor cap.

what do you mean the cam doesnt turn? With the distributor cap off and you crank the engine over does the rotor button rotate?

no it doesn't and have checked everything up to the timing belt and nothing is turning while trying to start the car. Have checked a few online manuals and apparently the timing doesn't go out on this model so i am unsure as to what it could be stopping the engine from starting. And the check engine light hasn't come on at all, so would it be possible the electrics for the fuel pump have stopped working?

If nothing is turning, it's your starter motor. If it's making a noise but nothing is turning over. Your starter motor is spinning but it's not engaging.

starter motor?, they said the car stalled, when cranking the engine, does the crankshaft pulley rotate? if the crank pulley rotates and the cam gear doesnt , your timing belt has crapped its self. the teeth have probably sheared off the belt Has the car every had it changed, they should be changed every 90-100,000kms

Yeah that is what my partner was thinking, he is gonna have a look tomorrow (well try and get to it), and will let ya know how it goes. Not sure when it was changed last, as I have had the car for 3yrs, and it hasnt been changed while i have had it, but got some of the old service logs. Thanks my partner didnt want to be pulling to much apart in case he was going in the wrong direction.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
