Why isn't my car starting?

Question

It's a 95 Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter.
It's got gas, it's got spark, but it's blowing air out the intake durning start, what does this mean?

Answer 1

Your camshaft isnt in time. Time to replace the camshaft drive belt

Answer 2

I would not rule out if vehicle jumped timing (be off by one to 2 teeth or more at timing belt). and throw off distributor timing ( IF I recall, the distributor attaches to the camshaft). Also could be (assuming crankshaft and camshaft timing is OK) the distributor timing could be too advance or too retarded. I hope this helps.

PS: I happen to own a 92 century and an 02 venture and hope this reply does not jinx you.

Answer 3

It mean that you need a new vehicle or you can get a used one. Also the car is out dated

Answer 4

air out sounds like bad PCV valve. if the car is turning over normally and not fast the timing shouldnt be the issue.

Answer 5

if you turn the key and it just keeps cranking and not starting it could be a couple things.....maybe the starter is bad, if you can locate your start, tap it lightly with a wrench or hammer and try to start it.....if its not your starter, it could be your timing belt or timing chain....if the timing belt/chain is bad then it will never start

Answer 6

It means it's time to call the tow truck. When they show up, ask them to tow it over to the garage. Call the garage, tell them it's on the way.

Answer 7

You probably parked next to a chevy that day. I did that one time and my car wouldn't crank either.

Answer 8

It's broken. Use telephone; call mechanic!

Answer 9

might be the timing belt

Answer 10

you need a new car
