Help With My 93 Toyota Carina 2.0 Gli E

[ybe]

Hi There,

I am new this forum but I am hoping to get some advice. It is a bit of a long story.

I was at the taffic lights about to move off, then the car cut out. I kept trying to start the car but it would not start. I bought more petrol but it wasn't that. I called the AA man and he reckoned it might be the ignition coil as he had already checked the cam belt.

Unfortunately, I have found out that the coil is internal and you have to take the distributor cap off.

So far, I checked the ignition leads and one of them was highly corroded. I was hoping that this would be it, I bought new spark plugs and changed them and I bought new leads and changed those as well ( I am not sure if the leads are the correct ones).

Because of my attempts of starting the car, the Battery has been drained out.

After chnaging the plugs and leads, I tried to jump start the car numerous times but when I connect the jump leads to a car, the car alarm keeps going off. that is another probelm. Also Bear in mind , the alarm only started going off after I changed the ignition leads.

I need a couple of answers please.

1) How straight forward is it to change the internal ignition coil.

2) Does anyone know why the alrm keeps going off all of a sudden

3) If one of the ignition leads is really bad, could that affect it from starting?

4) How can I disconnect the alarm as I don't have a keppad and it has never gone off in the 9 months I owned it.

I look forward to the reply.

Thank you.

Darren
