Check the ignition coil or maybe the distributor cap. See if you are actually getting spark to the first plug by taking it out, reattaching the spark plug wire, then set it against the block while trying to restart it. If it spaks, the coil or cap shouldn't be bad. The last thing to do is to make sure the fuel pump is working. See if you can hear it coming on by turning the key on without starting it. You should hear a whirring near the trunk. If you don't, you probably have a bad fuel pump. Good Luck!!
Bad battery and/or alternator.

No. My 87 Tercel Wagon timing belt broke last year and the valves were not damaged. 3A and 3AC engines are non-interference.

The battery terminal on a 1994 Toyota Tercel is not a special piece; it is a standard automotive battery terminal. However, it's important to ensure the terminal is compatible with the battery size and type you are using. If you're replacing it, you can find suitable terminals at auto parts stores. Just make sure to use the appropriate size and type for a secure connection.
any engine from the toyota family with a e in it for example a 4e-fe or a 3e-te or a 5e-fe BIGG ZIGG
The check engine light on a Toyota Tercel can come on for a variety of reasons. It can be come on whenever there is a problem with the engine that needs attention. To reset it, disconnect the battery for a few minutes then re-connect it.
It sounds like your alternator is no longer recharging your battery. You probably need a new alternator.
Yes it is. http://www.toyoland.com/cars/tercel.html DOHC engines are generally going to be interference.
