| I have a ’91 4Runner 4WD V6 with 190Kmiles (original owner) and have a starting problem. Once the truck warms up to operating temp (ambient temp above 80*F) then off for a few minutes (like driving to the gas station to fill up) it would not start. The solenoid will “pop” but no starter motor activity. I rebuilt the solenoid with Toyota parts…worked for 2 weeks…same problem…hmm...replaced starter motor with remanufactured one from Orielly Auto (house brand)…worked for 3 weeks…same problem. Rebuilt solenoid with Toyota parts…worked for about 2 weeks. Took it back for an exchange...same result week after week. Then I went to Pepboys and bought a reman’ed Bosch…This time the solenoid would not “Pop”…I tapped on the solenoid it worked…hmmm…took the starter back and got another…same results. I have rebuilt the ignition switch, added a new ground strap directly to the starter mounting bolts, added power wires to the starter solenoid and motor and replaced the battery. Nothing seems to work! I am getting 11.92V to the solenoid and 12.76V to the starter motor regardless of starting or not. I’m about to throw in the towel. Any ideas? I will consider anything at this point…Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! | |

I have a 95 4runner that has been working fine the last couple of weeks then i went out to start it one day and i put the key in and turned it on, the dash lights came on. then when i went to start it turn the key and everything went dead. there was no click no try nothing. it had sat for a couple of days during 100+ degree weather so i wonder if that has anything to do with it. the battery is good and i am going to check the alternator and starter this week. any other ideas??

Please help me, I have no clue what is wrong with my car....when im driving down the road my battery light comes on, along with my anit-lock brack light and sometimes even my parking break light. Everything gets brighter along with the headlights and dash lights. Also the radio will cut off but all this happends only when I accelerate. Whenever I get a new battery it works for about 3 days right...but then the problems start...in the mornings it wont start....i can jump it off....but it wont start on its on...if i stop somewhere and cut the car off for about a maximum of 30 min. the battery goes dead....but if I stop and cut the car off and try to start it within 30 min. it will start back like the battery hasnt drained out yet....ive replaced the battery a few times so its not that...I Havent had the alternator tested at autozone or antyhing but ive put an electrical meter on it and its charging fine...so if anyone has any ideas of what this might be please let me know...
