Hey Scotty! So I'm having trouble with my 94 Celica starting up. I turn the key & there's no turning over or crank. It seems like the key ignition isn't engaging the alternator. I jumped my car & it came on but then a couple hours later it didn't want to crank. I recently replaced the key ignition, fuel pump, alternator, battery, distributor & a new cover gasket with spark plugs. Do you happen to know what could be causing the trouble? My mechanic says it's the transmission range sensor. Do the models even have those? This typically would happen after I pumped gas that it would do this but after a couple of time of messing with key in the ignition & moving the steering wheel it would turn on but now it doesn't at all. Thanks Scotty!
Well it could be the transmission range sensor. If it's an automatic it does have that. Keeps you from starting it and drive or reverse. You can just bypass it if you want. Just run away from the ignition directly to the starter and you would bypass all that crap. I would start there because there's so many things that can make a car. Not want to start bad starter bit ignition switch bad battery bad alternator. But if it runs okay where you're driving down the road it would have more to do with either the starter or the starter not getting power l
Gotcha! Yeah I do have an automatic. And it does run well when I'm driving it with no problems. One thing I noticed is that I have to put the in between park & reverse & then it will cut on! Do you think that's caused by the bad range sensor? Also you said I could bypass the range sensor by doing what? I didn't understand what you were meaning. Did you mean running a wire from the ignition to the starter? Thanks!!
