there are times where you will get just plain and simple a bad starter and just have to get a new one. if you're getting power to the starter and everything is connected.. just take it back to toyota and get a new one. that could be your problem.

I'm aware of that but I'm going to check anything and everything first. before I start tearing things apart.

I'm going to check my fuses as well. I'm going to borrow a volt meter.

i had this problem, new battery cables and it fired right up.

take jumper cables and hook them from the battery to the starter and that should crank the engine to see if the starter works.

Yeah, it could still be a bad wire/connection.

supramacist · 06-22-2007, 08:36 PM

I agree it could still be a bad wire connection.

Check the brown and white wires that bolt to the lower intake manifold.

Do you remember if you put those back on?

I don't recall any brown or white wires. I have a black ground wire on that side up near the top of the firewall. But I will be sure to look for them.

Thanks again fellas. I appreciate everyones time and your posts.
