Intermittant engine management light.

Toyota Corolla 2002 Corolla 46000 miles
Hi, my engine management light comes on whilst driving maybe once a week. Then goes off after I restart car. I have had the camshaft sensor replaced as this is what the fault code was signalling. However, the light still comes on but not so often as before. I have had many different diagnosis from garages /mechanics (without seeing the car). I have been advised to get the serpentine belt changed, timing chain slipping, wiring fault or sensor is misplaced. Can anyone shed any light without me having to spend a fortune please? It is a vvt-i petrol engine. Thank you

No Spark But Still Turning Over Just Not Firing up

Toyota Corolla 1993 AE93 Corolla CSI  200000 miles
Hey I have a AE93 corolla I've recently done a service to it that includes, (oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, dropping the oil flushing the old oil out and refilling it with new oil, Cleaning the throttle body with Carby clean) once I did all that I went for a night drive and as i was coming back home the car made a small thud noise then there was no response to the accelerator as I lost speed, I got it back home and went to diagnose the problem but no luck the car still is turning over just no spark I've pulled the rocket cover to see if it just stripped a gear but the distributor is strait connected to the cam shaft were unsure on what it could be were expecting it to be the coil in the distributor unless you guys know anything else it could be, cheers
