Help,
I have a 90 SR5 that about every 6 months it will not start (no spark). I will let it sit for a while and try it again a few times and it will start and be good for another few months. This last time it happened while it was running at a stop light. I had it towed home and same as above it is running OK for now. I have replaced the coil, igniter, cap and rotor. Need help with this one.
Thanks
Bill

 

the vehicle sits for 6 months?

 

No I drive it 110 miles total to work every day.
Thx
Bill

 

What are the symptoms of "will not start"? Does the starter turn over or not? If not, see:

If the start cranks the engine over but it does not start, see:

Check the fuses? It happened to me it was the AFM. Air flow meter

 

My problem is no spark whem it is in the no start mode. I will check out the other problems you have sent as well.
Thx
Bill

 

I looked at the fuses before but I did not check them. I will pull them out and check them out. I think if it was a fuse it would happen all the time. My problem happens after a few months from the last no start cycle.
Thx

mine did this and it was ignitor/coil!! started random/when damp out.. sputtered and died on day.. had to replace it and truck has been relible as a brand new 22re since!

 

maybe the pickup coil in the distributor is bad, or getting moisture in it
