My car will not start. It turns over, but it doesn't start. We've checked the ignition coil, spark plugs, and they all seem to be good. We are wondering where the ignition module and PCM are located, and if there are any other options as to what could be wrong.

Module is inside dist. On many Toyotas it is generally cheaper to replace entire dist, than just ignitor.

Check prices at local autoparts stores first.

PCM is inside car near center console, behind glovebox.
