the coolant isnt that tricky
go under your car and see if theres grease build up
if there is then power wash the bottom of your car and make sure theres no grease or any fluid for that manner..
wait a day and see if there is any trace of fluid..(on the frame, hoses, panels etc)
should be easier to spot it on the actually hoses and panels its flowing from then the spots on the ground haha

still cant find them i suggest following the coolant cables to find any cracks or nics in them.. if you found one replace the hoses..(with the correct hose!)
another way is to get a spray bottle, fill it with soap and water, shake it up and turn on your car*EDIT* and a/c full blast(ofcourse do this after you get it running) spray your coolant hoses and ac hoses to see if there is any leak...(the water on the hose should bubble up and pop a few times..just keep spraying if you think you missed one) this method actually works haha

the fuel leak, im not familiar with that..
i believe i have a very very very very very very small leak but not enough for me to worry about now..
for me and congo to know..how do you fix and/or find a leaking fuel line?

?

I know where the leaks are comig from, how do I fix hem without replacing the hose since its coming from the hard line that goes around the block, I can get do them if I just pull the exhaust manifold off and the intake plenum cuz those are the only two places that are leaking coolant. but the one under the intake plenum is barely dripping coolant unlike the other side whenever i try turning it over it drips like crazy!

just replace the hoses there is no permanent way of repairing it without getting new hoses..but this is off topic..

the reading off the big cable going to the starter? we need to know that
do you have a brand new battery? or like acouple months?

[Conga1991]

I did get a brand new battery, the reading is from the big wire coming from the battery. and yes I grounded it to the block but when i put the positive on the post it the wire I grounded to the block sparked both ends and melted some of the ground wire that was on the negative post.

It shouldn't do that...... so what I think is goin on is that washer that is on the starter caused the big or main cable to ground out on the starter its self. The 400mv u are getting is from a ground loop or otherwise known as ghost voltage so it has an open in the line. probably the fuse but possible ly the cable itself. So get a new fuse and get u a washer u can make one pretty easy out of any plastic but is try to go Atleast 1/16" make sure your connections are good and id check the ground wire for continuity to make sure it didn't break from bein shorted. Unlikey cuz the fuse is a lot weaker then the wire.. and this is assuming u had a good ground when tested the big wire.

Another way to check this is run a new cable straight from the battery to the starter and see if it fires.. with a new washer of course or you will have fireworks

So I went to schucks to check if the starter is still good, its bad, didnt do anything. there was still enough plastic so the nut wouldnt touch the starter. So im buying a new one fom them for 70$, is that good for a brand new one? toyota parts store isnt open to call and get a quote.

Ya that's a good price. I think Toyota. Is like 200
