I did everything as the instructions said too, for a radiator flush and when i let the engine run the frst time I noticed wheezing so i cut it off. I was finish my RB lift, ny doing the radiator drop and now that everyting on flushed and back together all my 4Runner does is act like it isnt getting enough current and and then it does and I turn the key and get the " machine gun clicks" Nothing seems to turn over. But then out of no where it turned over and started up, that was before I was finished putting together and now it is complete but back to nothing but clicks again. I hope I didnt royaly screw myself somehow. Any help or suggestions or insiight into what is going on would be much appreciated because being that it is Christmas morning at 2 am, it looks like I will not be going to Chicago tommorrow after all. Thanks everyone and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas

sounds like your battery died, or your terminals are not secured.

check all your wires, (all means everything you were close to, as a nicked coil wire may arc or do bad things).

relax, have some eggnogg, and methodically go over your engine. perhaps a hose clamp fell on the starter and is arcing.

if you can swap out a battery, try that before you buy one, (or test, but thats unlikely considering the date).

and if you dont go, perhaps you should stay home.

yeah clean your terminals all around too, on battery and on starter. I can't believe how many times i've had a bad connection turn up from doing nothing to the electical system... Just hope the santa clause doesn't deliver any seized engine parts today... best of luck and keep us informed. Merry Xmas !!!

Sounds like a bad connection or a low battery. If ya have a charger, charge it!
