1994 Toyota Corolla DX starting problem?

Use a fuel pressure gauge to test pressure at key on, and while running. Compare to spec's for your engine.

This vehicle does not use points, it has a solid state magnetic pick up to trigger ignition. Try changing the air filter. A dirty air filter can put the MAF ( mass airflow sensor) out of range.

Try locking the steering wheel and then moving it back and forth while trying to turn the key. This usually works, but the reason it is doing that is because you either need a new key, or you need to get a new key ignition. Start by replacing the key first, it is cheaper and is a much easier fix.

Yes, you need to remove and replace the ignition cylinder.

spark plug leads or ignition coil or module.
start with the cheapest..leads.Car will be running fine till the ignition system heats up and then will start playing up.

Possible bad ignition switch. Wire the starter straight to the battery to test. It should turn.

Headlights are wired to receive a constant "hot" even when your keys are out of the ignition. Your problem, more than likely, is in the switch. Depending on what type of switch you have, you can expect to pay between $20-$80 for a new one.

i presume what you are saying is you hear the starter engage but the motor doesn't turn over. get a boost and try starting the car. if it will not turn over then... have someone turn the key while another person taps the starter with a hammer. if it starts then you need to replace the starter.

definately ignition switch gone bad, replace them. go from there.

it sounds like either your having a short at the starter or the ignition switch is bad, I am leaning towards the issue being the starter, usually when the ignition switch is going bad there will be no click,
