it could be your computer if your wire caught on fire (im a rapper during my day job). or maybe something to do with your intake? im not really sure just puttin out ideas.

i had a similiar problem and it turned out to be the alternator. although i do not know waht to say about the wire catching fire. take a look down the passenger side while someone else cranks the car and see if the alternator belt is moving or if the alternator is siezed... and dont forget the fire extinguisher!

yea everything turns and i also noticed that i dont have a check engine light when you put the car in acc. mode. all the lights on the dash come on but no check engine nor does the cruise light work.car cranks normal but doesnt catch with no fire or no gas.it all happend when i was driving and i ran out of gas.the car stop because i ran out of gas and filled it up and ever since then i been like this.makes me think twice of letting go of my supra for a mr2

when it ran out of gas it might have sucked the crud at the bottom of the tank and clogged your fuel filter. could also be your injectors or the fuel pump may have burnt out(i doubt this happend)

Check and replace all your ground wires. Check all wires on your alternator are secure as well. Give the battery a full charge. Change your fuel filter, never run your tank much below 1/4.

Did it start before you changed the dizzy? I would double check all your grounds cause ground wires on fire = bad things.

Do you smell fuel? Jumper FP to B+ in the diagnosis box and see if your fuel pump is coming on.

thanx i found my problem it was a fusible link in the frunk that blew out and 500bucks later in guess work it costed me an additional 5bucks for a dumb fusible link block

this is why i always go from the cheapest fix to the ones i have to sell my spleen. just a couple months ago i had charging issues and was already in the market for a new alternator. day of my purchase i decided to take a look at my fuses.. LOW AND BEHOLD.. there was my problem, a busted 1$ fuse.
