Problem With 2008 Toyota Corolla, Car Won't Start! by Terrie23: 5:30pm On May 29, 2016
I just bought a 2008 Toyota corolla, the check engine light came up a few days later, I did the scan and was told it was oxygen sensor problems . I paid for the sensor, later the electrician came and advised me to change the harnes wires on the engine,that it was bad and could damage the brain box, I obliged, problem now is the car has refused to start, just wont start, I haven't driven this car for 2weeks.
Anyone with an idea of what's going on to pls advise me. Thank you

Turn ignition on, if there is a check light illuminated, have car scanned, if the check light is not, run thru fuses, especially engine efi fuse. If no fuse is burnt and car does not communicate after a scan the engine ecu (brain box) is fried and will need to be replaced and reprogrammed.

I think you may have a damaged ECU (brain box as its referred to in Nigeria) also check to make sure the the ECU is communicating with your fuel pump. (security)

@Tonak
Same buddy with the op?

It's either the electrician knows what he's doing (stick with him) or he's not (get another mechanic); worst case scenario= na moni dey motor go chop, not human life.

Just wondering what could have damaged the harness.

In all, calm down and allow the ogas here help you fix your car soonest.

A good history of how it all started could be of help

Check your fuses
