New to toyotas and need help
I recently bought a 92 toyota pickup and have been in the process of trying to get it running, but am lost as to where to look next. The guy I bought it from said that he was able to get it to crank but not turnover and that it hasnt ran in years. I havent even heard it crank yet though. The engine wiring harness looks pretty rough, but id like to atleast hear it try to crank before putting more money into it. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys could take a look at some pics and tell me if you see anything out of the ordinary besides the battery terminal. Thanks for your help

First off get thee to the correct FSM (Factory Service Manual) For your model... And start looking at what might be missing or wrong. If it won't crank, is the starter bad? That's were I'd start.

You might put a 19mm socket on the end of a breaker bar and see if the crankshaft even moves (CW) before trying to replace the starter. I'm just thinking, "If this is what the outside of the motor looks like, what does the inside look like?"
I just completed a full rebuild of this motor (3VZE) and it cost me a little more than $3,000 in parts + machine shop work.
How many miles? You'll have to decide if you're up (financially, and/or physically) for fixing the current motor, or perhaps buying a reman and dropping it in.

Thanks for the input guys. Ill try and see if the crankshaft will turn tomorrow after work. I bought it mainly for the body. Its a black extended cab that doesnt really have any rust on it. The engine has 205,000 thousand miles and had the head gaskets, timing belt, and injectors replaces at 160,000 miles. The guy I bought it from had only had it for a couple of months. He had bought it from his buddy who was the owner of it for most of its life. He said that it hasnt ran in about 3 years. When he bought it, he got it to the point of where it would crank but wouldnt start up. Im thing my harness or ecu you be part of the problem. Would a wiring harness out of a 4 runner work with my truck?
