I have a 1992 Corolla that wont start. None of it makes sence. I drove it
home Friday night with no problems, wasn't even acting odd. Saturday
morning It wont start. It is getting fuel and spark. I put brand new
plugs in and gapped them all at .032 which is what they are supposed to be.
The gas is flowing as the plugs are getting wet and there is a bright white
spark on the plug. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be going on.
I really need to get this fixed.

Haven't checked it yet. I don't really have the tools to do so. A
friend of mine is going to check the timing for me soon as he can get
here.

Hold the throttle pedal to the floor when cranking and see if it starts.

I'm pretty sure that the 1992 Corollas have a distributor, and if they do,
there would be no spark if the timing belt was broken because the
distributor would not turn.
