Checked for voltage at the connector for the fuel pump. 9.97 volts. But I was trying to see if it would start earlier so I'm sure that ran the battery down some.

 

And here...since I apparently can't post this accurate information covering it elsewhere. Remember now, my correcting your mistake here/now isn't any less on the current topic of this thread than your answering a question that had already been 100% answered. In fact both are quite on the topic as the title would suggest. Though it's not currently, nor has it been, since post #3.

No Toyotas have them? No pre-96 4WD Toyotas that I know of(haven't we established that too many times to count now?). But some Toyotas actually do.

Please read at the bottom where it says Toyota Motor Sales. So maybe you not delete it this time. Since it is accurate...IN REALITY.

Trying to make a liar out of me...that's neat...REAL NEATO...I like that....

 

Puffing chest out much?

Your post is not on topic with regards to this thread and even much less relevant to this ENTIRE section of the forum.

Take your beef elsewhere.

 

replace or reset
the fuel inertia switch and should be fine

 

I'm not sure if you missed it... But it doesn't have one. Yesterday however, I did find one of the wires that goes to the fuel pressure regulator switching valve was broken off. Which could be why it would start.

 

Doubt it. You can disconnect the regulator and it will still run

 

yeah sorry i did miss it.. But deathcougar's right. Even without the regulator itll run. just flood out though. That cant be your problem. You probably put a good knock into something which put it outta whack. I might have missed this too, but check if your fuel pump is working (first of all) then work forward from there...

 

Replaced the fuel pump already. Im getting fuel at the fuel rail now. Still not starting

 

Did you try checking the fuel pressure?? Because everything can be working fine and flowing, but if the pressure is too low in the car wont start. If its pressure is good, then the only onther thing is maybe the injectors?? but its almost impossible for that to be the problem...... if youre SURE that youre getting spark, then im pretty lost man... My 86 has been giving me problems too these last 2 days with cutting out, then after pulling the coil wire and testing it on a ground and making sure it sparks, ill plug it back in and itll go again..

 

Trying this stuff in the posts not having any luck got rear ended and truck shut off 89Toyota pickup

 

What have you tried? (I assume you're asking for help.)

There are lots of wires in any motor vehicle, clobbering that vehicle with another heavy object can break almost any of them.

 

Fuel pump. Works thinking of hard wireing it directly to battery with on off switch would there be any problems with that

 

Your truck (and just about any other motor vehicle) is designed to shut off the fuel pump when the engine stops sucking air (in this case, through a switch in the Vane Air Flow meter, which works the Circuit Opening Relay to power the pump).

Why? If you have an accident that breaks a fuel line, the VAF will shut off the fuel for you. With your suggested setup, you will be completely soaked in warm gasoline long before you can get to your switch.

So there won't be any problem with it as long as you're not too attached to your skin.

But if you like your skin, just get out your multimeter and FSM to find and fix the problem. It won't be that hard.

 

did you ever figure out the problem

 

Welcome to YotaTech.

AMSevo8man hasn't posted here for over 8 years. Who knows, you might get an answer; probably not.

But if you want some help, start by
1) searching on this forum (you probably already did that)
2) list the details (make/model/year/engine/transmission/body) of your rig. Stick it all in your "signature" so you don't have to repeat it.
3) Tell us your problem, and what you've done already.
