    93 v6 camry with no fire
    I have a 1993 toyota camry xle 3.0 v-6. I have no fire going to the cap. I have replaced the ignitor, coil, plugs, wires, cap, button and ecu, and still no fire. Does my distributor have a module or diode built into it that will cause my problem. I have heard that it does and it will not send a signal to the coil to send power. Do you know how to test the distributor to see if it is bad? Thanks for the help and god bless

    I believe that on that model, there is a "hall effect switch" that acts like the points on an older car. It follows the cam and sends a pulse when the engine should fire. This may be the "ignitor" you mentioned -- or not.

    On the other hand, this model may have an computerized ignition -- in which case the computer may not be sending the signal to generate a "spark".

    . Test all underdash and underhood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Test for power to the distributor. If none, check the ignition switch (for wear, pitting, or melting) or an open in the wire to the ignition switch.

94 camry [ 8 Answers ]

I have engine running but you get shocked by the throttle cable and I still can't put the bolt in that secures the distributor. Am I missing a ground of some sort, because it acts like it fires at the wrong time, but it don't do this every time.

I set the timing myself,been doing this for 35 years but this has me buffaloed. The only way to get it to crank is to leave the bolt out of the distributor and advance the distributor, and it runs poorly then,with popping through the throttle upon acceleration.
