Tell you fella's what.

I got in the car. I turned the key and the dash came to life and I could hear the fuel pump hummm. I turned the key and the fuel pump went to a dull buzzz and nothing happened.

Disconnect the wiring to the starter. Now that we're sure it won't crank if someone tries, have oyur wife hop in and turn the ignition over while you test the solenoid's wire for voltage. If you get voltage it's either the solenoid, the starter or the starter's feed.

If you don't get any voltage there test the circuit on the other side of the starter relay. If there no voltage there, follow the wire back.

If the feed side of the starter relay's swith has voltage then you need to check the following: starter relay coil's ground, theft deterrant module, clutch start switch and the coil's + supply.

YA.

That's what I was afraid of.

Alright. I went over the cr with the voltmeter today and everything is as it should be.

I jacked the car up and found a connect about 6 inches long coming from the transmission. I had the male end in the wrong place. And I found the plug that I didn't know went to the starter. The tsrm insisted there was one.

Well now the starter is hot and clicking but won't spin the flywheel. So I have a new one on the way from toyota. I have a buddy with small arms that can remove the starter without having to disconnect the air intake.

Praise ye the lord. I'll know more when I get the new starter in and installed. The car should fire then. Everything is where it should be.

Can't wait to get the walbro pumping and see what I have done here come to life. I still have to get a new hatch glass put in asap. And then the eibacks and tokico's. We should be good. I hope.

Excellent!!! You sure your battery has enough juice to turn the starter over? I'd just hate to see you get a new one in there and it does the same thing.

supramacist · 06-27-2007, 05:16 AM

The battery was peaking out at 12.2/3 Under load was pulled to 11.5

I'm sure the battery is good. It's the optima red top 6 pack style. This battery is soooooo the shit. I highley recomend you gents getting your hands on one.

It's kind of like ARP hardware for your electrical system.

edit: I'll be taking this new starter to a parts house and having it tested before I install it. I will probably have the one I remove tested as well before I relenquish it as a core. Something janky is a foot and I intend to to snuff it out.

I'm ready to hear this biotch growel.

I took the volt meter to everything today. It has to be the bendix in the starter. It is nothing else. It's all as it's supposed to be. We'll see. This crapolla never goes as we want it too.

I'd give it a thorough charge and then try again.

Don't get me started on Optimas.

EDIT: If you really want a wicked battery look into the DieHard Platinum. They're deep cycle like the blue top Optima, are far better built and have a higher reserve capacity, CA and CCA than the same size Optima... by the way, both are manufactured by the same company: Johnson Controls.
