1988 4runner, 22R-E.

Its -5 out at night if that could pose a problem, anyways drove to the bank and shut my runner off went inside and did my stuff then came out and it wouldnt turn over, it just clicked, all my accesories worked fine becuase i listened to music untill my ride came and rolled the rear window down to get my jumper cables, i thought it was the battery so i hooked it up to jumpers and let it charge, it didnt go the first try and the second try it turned over really slowly an barely started. As soon as i got home and shut it off i tryed to start it again and it just clicked at me again Is this the starter? i havnt tried anything cuz i have been at work all day but i would like to get it going again. Thanks for any help.. I also just did the plugs, cap and rotor and plug wires but i all seams fine?

Did you clean the terminals real well? Gotta get'em good shiny. Accessories will work on a less than ideal connections. But, things like motors and power windows, etc. won't.

 

My rear window worked fine? and yeah the terminals should be ok, i cleaned them up really well when i got new ends

 

Sounds like either your starter contacts or a weak battery.

probably a bad/loose connection somewhere in the starter circuit. you'd be surprised how fast corrosion can form. check em all.

Ok, i just got home from work and tryed to start my truck, it has sat there since last night without being touched for and it started first crank? i am confused?it started and ran perfectly again, any ideas?

 

dont make me repeat myself! seriously, with a corroded connection it will intermitantly start/not start

 

agreed, check all connections

 

x100 Check the connections. Mine did the same thing when the terminal was loose and when it got dirty. Quite anoying!
