Won't Start

Irish_Mechanic · 01-14-2008, 01:14 AM

you've probably already tried this, but if you put the pedal down to the floor when cranking..... that would eliminate the vaccuum dependancy for ignition timing while you try to start it.......

try starting fluid too... i know it seems odd, but maybe its an A/F metering problem...longshot i know, but it would put that question out of your mind....

i'm not sure if toyota does it like most other car companies, but you could try unplugging the TPS and put it into limp mode. she may start that way.

i think you may be right with the ignition timing concern.... the odd thing tho, is that it ran for 15 minutes!!!

i'll stop putting all these mixed tests out there, as i'm sure you'll figure it out.
