94 toyota camry with 160k miles vehicle running fine to my knowledge then in morning spray carb cleaner in intake with butterfly flap up and in pcv valve also hit distributor cap/area pretty hard with spray with a full can of cleaner for all areas. Car no longer starts when ran fine previously. No spark coming out end of spark plug wires . Figured maybe just get some starter fluid spray in intake no work then just let sit for entire day to dry out but still won't start in the morning. What could spray mess up and cause no spark to reach plugs

My partner has worked for toyota since he was 20, nine years now, he said to try a new distributer cap, or a new rotor arm.

Did it work?

No one answers you back in this forum, mr fix. But hey, I'll give it a shot. You lost spark because of a bad cap seal, and an already weak ignition coil. Replace coil, cap, wires, rotor, plugs, and get a new gasket for the dist cap. Recommendations are all OEM parts.

Haha I'm fem!

I knew that, hahahaha.. I know you're a Britt too. Leeds born myself. Guderinnit? :P

Did you do it with engine running? I would check cap and rotor.(replace?)
Check spark plug(s)

My Toyota Camry will start and after driving it for awhile and stop it. When I try to start it again it would not start until the engine colds off may be 2 to 3 hours. What could be the cause? Someone told me to replace the distributor.

Thanks

I would say your best bet and cheapest part I could recommend is a coolant temp sensor.
Second best bet would be a new ignition coil inside the distributor. It could have an open when hot.
