    1989 Toyota Pickup 4 cylinder with stock carb. The last 4 days I have had my truck parked. I turned a corner and it died on me and I was unable to start it up again. I looked at the fuses, wires, and what I thought first was gas not getting in the carb. I checked compression and timing and that was all good. So I replaced the cap and rotor and then nothing, so I bought a coil off ebay waited a day and a half and got it, thinking that was the problem, hoping it wasent the expensive ignitor (electronic ignition unit) that the coil sits on. I replaced it and no start. So then all I could think was the ignition switch. I striped off the console and looked at wires for a couple hours all night, all good so I went back to where I started at the fuses and I after closer inspection of the 30 amp AM2 fuse I noticed I had over looked it, it was blown. I replaced it and it started first time. I do have a starter cylinoid that is going out (I try to start it and it clicks a few times before it will crank) could that have blown the fuse? but prior to the truck dying I had it a bump and maybe a ground was loosened or I a hot wire hit the chassis. any ideas?
