1994 Toyota Camry Won't start.

The car started fine, drove for about 2 minutes to a stop sign, pulled out in first gear, when I shifted to second gear the car died. I shifted to neutral restarted (no problem), shifted to second the car died again and would not restart. The fuel pump wasn't working, fixed it, now the plugs don't get spark. Checked the coil, distributor cap, rotor, wires, and plugs. All fine. The car tries to start, but won't fire. Any ideas? Thanks

    I figured it out earlier today. After testing everything I could think of to find where the "spark" went I finally found the primary coil was shorted out. Replaced it and voila fixed and ready to roll again.

You should check 3 things. AIr, Fuel, and "spark"
your cars could have many problems. Ignition module, fuel injectors, Mass Airflow Sensor.
You should check into all of these 3 things.
a crank-no start could be many things.
it could even be a cam positions sensors resistance going up when the engine heats up. Cracnk- no start means testing. n like i said
The motor is getting Air, There is Fuel being put into the cylinders, and the Spark plugs are firing.

1997 toyota coroola dx automatic 214Kmiles. Gears not shifting correctly until car warms up.

Is this an automatic or manual transmission? When was the last time you changed the filter if it's an automatic? You may have a valve body problem too.

With the engine off see if the shift between 1st to 2nd feel,s free if not it could be the cable check the clutch is disengageing all the way it should go into reverse without crunching,other then that it could be a synchro ring worn check that the gearbox has the right oil in it.

Transmission/97/toyota/camery

I assume it is an auto by what you say. Is the O/D light blinking any codes? It is common in that model for the shift solenoids to fail, one or both, and the transmission then cannot find low gears forward.

Get a readout of trouble codes from a mobile come-to-you mechanic, or your own OBD reader, to see if that is it.

Toyota wagon with automatic transmission drops out of drive. Shifting to neutral and back to drive fixes the problem but I feel really scared of the unpredictability of this.

no adjusting the cable is hard because it is so percice. If your check engine light is on read the codes and this will tell you what is wrong. a part store will read the codes for u for free

Take it back to where you got it and make them refund your purchase price. If they refuse and you finianced it go to them, There a law called "The Lemon Law" that makes it unlawful to sell something like that. Sounds like you sure bought one. Don't do anything to it just get hold of the place where you bought it and tell them to come get their junk out of your yard! dhgill1949

1994 Camry won't start. Have replaced the fuel

Sounds like a relay or sensor. It could be the Crank Shaft Position Sensor which is usually the culprit.
Do you have any check engine lights on? If so, then I would have codes read right away to determine exact problem location
