1990 NA Will not start !

TClark · 09-19-2018, 05:57 PM

Still having problem with car starter lock out. Tried to find someone to bypass TDS, nobody here has a clue. So I decided to take it to Toyota Dealer to look at fixing the TDS. Only Tech been there long enough to know anything about a 1990 model said he was 95% sure it was the starter and never heard of TDS shutting out the starter. They had the car all morning and kept trying to start it, started every time until I picked it up. They wanted me to leave it overnight so they could try and start it. They wanted to start by pulling the starter and replace contacts for around $350 and go from there. I'm going to install or have a push button starter installed, will this work or does the TDS cut off fuel & spark also? Any help would be great.
