What was you doing with the brake clean product?

Did you replace the fuel filter? Have you checked every inch of the fuel line UNDER the car for damage that may have pinched the line shut?

Knowing these 94's like I do, you probably have "some" spark, but not enough to run.
If you have the original coil in there, you'll most likely find a huge crack in the face of it. I'd replace it with OE either way.
A search here will reveal many like you on this issue.

Agree with kitch428. 90%+ of all crank but won't start situations are electrical related, not fuel. This is especially true in "sudden death" situations while driving. If you can hear the fuel pump run for several seconds and then go off, when the ignition switch is turned to ON, the fuel pump is likely fine. Then, move on to the ignition system. On Toyotas of that generation, coils are the main culprit. If the problem persists, replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM). Disconnect the negative battery cable, prior to beginning work. Odds are very high that these efforts will solve the problem. Should be easy to fix. I normally recommend replacing coils and ICMs every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first. These are problematic components.
