Engine Mechanical problem
1990 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

i asked about my car not starting yesterday and i have fuel pressure, i have spark, i have compression, timming is on but it still won't start. every thing checks out could their be a sensor or a emissions problem keeping it from starting

Check the timing belt by removing the valve/cam cover. It should be changed every 60K.

Rotate engine to TDC #1 using timing marks on balancer.

Remove the dist. cap and rotor should be pointing to #1 spark plug wire?

Relay in large box in engine compartment labeled "engine main", make sure it clicks when engine is trying to start.

Generally if a sensor is out of range, the check engine light is on?
