Car cranks but doesn't start (1 Viewer)

[wisemonkey]

As the title says car cranks but doesn't start at all.
Confusing part is, I did oil change and car doesn't start anymore.

Battery voltage is good (12.59 - 12.64)
I suppose it is a starter problem however want to make sure before I jump to conclusions.

Can oil change somehow make car not start? I never really looked at oil pressure guage, when should it register pressure? (key on or engine on?).

Thanks

Year?

When you turn the key to the "on" position, does the check engine light come on?

Could you have bumped a fusible link that comes off the positive terminal of the battery?

What kinda car? With the key turned to run, is the CEL on?

Check engine light is not on when I turn key to on position. (It was on due to o2 sensor few days back but that was resolved).

I'm afraid I don't know how to check if I bumped fusible links on battery.

Oh BTW I drive lx 450.

If there's no CEL, there's no way it will fire. Check power to your ECU.

I'm sorry, I thought u r asking when I turn key to on (engine on) position. Check engine light is on when key is in on position before turning to engine on. (Goes off when I try to crank)

Check the coil, high voltage wire and low voltage to make sure they are firmly connected. Also check the little wiring harness plug on the distributor and coil wire make sure they are firmly seated.

You are my hero so center wire of distributor was not connected. Looks like other wire housing are failing as well (I'll try to upload few pics from phone later).

Just attached center wire (still not perfectly tight fit) and bam car started.

I would like to know where can I buy new harness / wires for the same.

Thanks

I'll try to get some more pics in the day time (there was battery terminal like white debris on center terminal)
