I was driving home from work one day, when my car all of the sudden died. I tried starting it back up and it would crank but not start. I tried pumping the gas while turning the key to see if maybe it would start, but it didn't it just smelled like gas. I also tried to jump the car battery, which didn't work either. All the lights and radio worked fine. The next day i had my neighbor take a look at it. He checked all the spark plugs and they had no spark to any of them.He stated that the odds of all the spark plugs going out at the same time are 1 in a million, so he doesn't think that could be the problem. He also checked all the fuses, which were fine. He stated that it might be the distributor or the ignition switch. I also spoke to my uncle who thinks it might be the timing belt, but I asked my dad and he doesn't seem to think so. So this morning my dad came over and thought it was the distributor too, so he went and got a new one and changed it. but the car is still not working. it's still doing the exact same thing as before. I called a Toyota Dealership Repair and they stated that it might be the Coils because Camry's have a lot of problems with their coil's. Now i'm confussed. I gave everybody the same senario and got 3 different answers. What should I do? and who should I believe?
