    1994 Toyota Camry won't start
    Bought new battery, last year bought new spark plugs, new distriburator, new spark plug wires and now its having problems starting. It starts for like 5 seconds then it dies. After that it just doesn't egnite. And if I leave it for like a day and you come back to start it it'll start for like 5 seconds then die again. But right before all of this. I would drive it and it'll die while I'm driving it then I would have to push it into nutruel and start it up again and it would keep doing the same please help me my car is still stuck at goodwill...

    You need to determine if your losing fuel or losing spark at the time of the stall. Then you'll know which system to diagnose.
    After the engine has shut off as you've described, pull out a plug wire and test for spark, preferably with a proper tester but you can use a screwdriver if you're very careful. Have someone inspect for spark while an assistant turns the key to start for just a few seconds. You may or not see spark on the first try so double check it and let us know what you find.

    Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil. It's best to go OEM. This should solve your problem. Easy DIY project.
