Hi I've got a 1975 toyota celica ta22 gt, all of a sudden it lost power and engine switched off, I've checked timing chain is ok, when I try starting it nothing happens apart from fan spinning, I also took. Spark plugs out put a cap of oil in each bore and tryed starting it and that's when it wanted to start but won't and went back to staying still and not cranking pls help
Check your fuses and kick starter also check if there is a spark from the plug wire if there is no spark check your coil and the distributor i think the problem will be solve

My experience with Bosch ignition system (found on european cars) is the spark control is sent by the ignition module. The ignition module has to receive an input usually from a crankshaft sensor. This is usually near the crankshaft pulley on many cars. I am currently working on a 04 Toyota RAV4 and it has exactly that. If your sensor wiring gets loose or a bad wire then the computer won't signal for spark. This may not be your problem but it sounds like it probably is.
(By the way on my Alfa Romeo it is a sensor around the bell housing that senses the teeth on the flywheel) Good luck!

I had same problem and it turned out to be the "Spark Generator(module)" which was size of small wallet and can be seen under the hood in plain sight. Parts store price was $300-400. Salvage yard had box full of used ones @ $20-30 a piece.
