So start with checking for spark, and if there is spark then check the fuel pressure.
No spark
Ok then, first check the timing belt by taking off the oil fill cap, look inside the valve cover while someone is turning the engine over with the key. See that the camshaft is rotating. If it does not rotate, then the timing belt is bad. Check the distributor cap and rotor to see what kind if condition there in. Look for carbon tracks, cracks, burn marks. Take the coil and the ignition control module to an auto parts store to have tested to see if one or the other is bad. Check the coil wire, spark plug wires, and spark plugs also. Every thing should look in good shape, any corrosion would be a problem.
It would be easier if you take the distributor cap off, then have someone turn the engine over and see if the rotor is rotating. If not then the timing belt is bad.
Hi All, I had the problem and just got it fix. I found two leaking electrolytic capacitors in the ECU. I replaced the total 6 capacitors in ECU. The leaky capacitors in the ECU matched the symptoms of my 1996 V6 Camry: rough start, rough idle, link error when using OBDII, and the sudden engine stop without trouble code. This could be well understood in which the leaky capacitors caused lowered power supply voltage and, to the worst, shut off the ECU and the engine. The leaky capacitor is a cross-the-board issue for all electronic equipment in electronic equipment such as LCD TV's and computer monitors. I am attaching a pic of ECU with capacitor removed (showing trace of leaked electrolytic). Hope this helps.
