Starting problem in a Toyota Camry 1989?

Hugo Q

I would like to know if this cars have crank shaft sensor. The car stopped like if it ran out of gas and didn't start anymore. There's no battery, starter, or fuel problem for sure and what I notice was that there's no power or electricity on the spark plug wires.































Thanks in advanced

Sounds like the alternator went bad, the car ran on the battery till the battery drained, now you have a dead battery and a bad alternator.

to add,















if the bat/alt check good....































then,,,















just to make sure, pull a plug, put the boot back on it, ground it to the block, turned the motor over and got no spark?















--------















do this, engine stone cold.















coil is located on the left fender well, near the fuse block.































measure coil primary resistance between the ignition coil terminals.















3S-FE engine-0.38-0.46 ohms















2VZ-FE engine-0.41-0.50 ohms































measure coil secondary resistance between the ignition coil terminals and the distributor cap high tension lead terminals















3S-FE engine 7.7-10.4 kilohms















2VZ-FE engine-10.2-13.8 kilohms































if that checks good, it's the ignitor or pu coil in the distributor. don't have any testing info on that. thinking they run bout ten bucks or so.































there is a FREE online only manual for your vehicle. it can be found here,

sign up, plug in vehicle info, and go to "repair info".































FYI,















it should be noted that any ohms tests performed on a coil is never definitive. coils can ohm out good testing cold on the bench and still break down when hot. heat effects resistance, so this can never be check out hot. so...........
