Possibilities include bad spark plugs (doubtful), bad spark plug wires, clogged fuel filter or fuel line or fuel injector, bad fuel pump, bad fuel injector, bad gas, clogged exhaust, clogged air filter (doubtful). I think clogged fuel injectors or dead fuel pump may be most likely but who knows, you have to either take it to a pro for diagnosis, or do the diagnosis yourself. One very simple thing you can try is starting the car with the accelerator pedal pushed firmly ALL THE WAY DOWN to the floor. This can clear a clogged fuel line or injector, you have nothing to lose so give it a try.
Yes, bad alternator drains the battery and would not have enough power to start the car. It could be a bad starter, distributor and rotor cap, if only you don't heard the car engine turning.
It sounds like you have water in your tank. Use dry gas.
If the starter is engaging and turning the engine but the engine is not starting you have one of three problems. * Fuel delivery * Ignition spark * Compression If your engine has all three and their performance is within the normal specifications for that engine, it will start. Now you need to find out which is out of specification.
Incorrect pump timing,low compression,fuel cut solenoid may not be working,
It could have a leaky carburetor or injector that's causing the engine to flood.
No, it will not.
The year, make, model and engine info would help.
Which highest performance Toyota engine would fit in my 1985 Corolla
Check to see if you are getting fuel.
I would start by replacing the spark plugs and plug wires. If that does not fix the problem seek professional help.
The engine needs fuel, compression and spark. You are missing one of those.
No... A corolla engine is made by Toyota for a Toyota Corolla vehicle... The Chevy Prism is made by Chevy... Chevy and Toyota are different companies...
