knobs

1990 toyota 4runner with a 3vze, was putting a new starter in a friends daughters 4runner becuase it had wentout, i tested it and it was bad, replaced, and went to start and she just cranks and cranks, pulled several different plug wires to check spark, none, pulled coil wire and checked for spark, none, now my question is would that mean that the coil/ignighter went south or what? thanks for any input

i came to figure that the starter prob went out because the daughter probably just cranked and cranked on it trying to start it

ok so got it firgured out haha it makes me laugh, so the whole reason im working on this for a friend, well her daughter had ssome special firends who like to steal to get money for drugs and they stole her catalytic converter and it wouldnt start also, well they also stole every single fuse in the main fuse box haha

ok so back again, got everything togerther and thought itd all be good, well its not, it runs for about 2 sec then dies, checked the codes and got 24 and 32, i unplugged the afm connection and it does the same thing, it there any way to test the afm and see if it is bad?

It WILL NOT run without the VAFM connected. If everything was OK before the CAT & fuses were stolen, what else did they try to take? Not likely the VAFM suddenly went bad unless something was done to it.

There are FSMs available free online with all the procedures for checking VAFM, etc.
