Any pictures of the sisters? You need three things present, to run. Fuel, ignition, compression. Your motor has a carburetor, so looking to see if fuel is present should be easy. Pull a sprak plug, place it back in the plug wire, ground the body of the plug to the mptpr, and have a sister crank it over. You will see the plug spark, or not. The timing belt can jump, and often does, on start up in high mileage poorly maintained vehicles.

I am not sure if it makes any difference to your statement, but these cars actually have timing chains, rather than timing belts. Toyota used chains on a lot of their cars before the mid 1980s. Here is a little diagram of it that I found by looking up 82' Celica:

Not to steer you away, that is the last thing we want to do, but you may want to try one of these forums for more information. This is a Mercedes forum, so may not be too many here familiar with Toyotas, so here are a couple of Toyota forums you may want to try. The first one specializes in Celicas:

and here is another for Toyotas in general:

At any rate- it sounds like the fuel pump has went out. I have owned several Toyotas, but never had a problem like this. Was the car running fine before? Did it stop all of a sudden? Good luck.
