not sure what to do
hello all i have a 95 4 runner 3.0 auto 4x4 i bought not long ago. replaced fuel pump, plugs, dist. cap, rotor button and then no start. replaced ign. coil still no start. i am about to sell her for parts and i dont want to because i have wanted one of these for a long time. heres the other side i can buy a 98 runner 3.4 2wd bad auto trans. for the cheap. will this motor fit in easy and will i have to change out the wiring? i know this is probably a big jump from not starting and i really dont have the time to change it but i am at the end of my rope with this. i have checked the main relayi have put a plug in a wire and turned it over no fire. let me know what you think. thanks

Make sure you hooked your fuel pump up and that it's running. You should be able to smell gas in the exhaust after cranking or pull a plug and it will be wet. Another problem could be a bad coil wire.

not sure how old the timing belt is i have a new one to put in. i checked the plug wires they are on right. after i put the pump in it ran rough so i did the tune up. i hope the pump didnt go already for some reason. it turns over fine no fire. where is the fusable link? give it a little starting fluid still no fire. thanks

I would do a test on your coil and your igniter box. Had similar problems and it wasent till after I replaced the coil that I found out that the igniter box had went out. replaced that and it fired right up. Good luck!

when you crank the engine does the dist rotor rotate?

Start at the bottom and tell us what it is doing. It is an internal combustion engine - its not rocket science. There is a solution, stick with it.
Just remember, you gotta have air/fuel/spark to make it run -- If it wont start then its one of those - We can test any of those components individually. Just tell us what it is doing.

ok the truck turns over it cranks fine. will not fire. not even on starting fluid. checked with a test light i have juice on both wires going into the coil but if i stick the probe in where the wire goes to the dist. cap and crank it nothing no light. that is with new coil. a buddy of mine is going to bring his runner over so we can try his ign. module out before i spend the $ for one. thanks for all the responses thanks alot.
