I have a 87 4runner and recent put a Chevy 307 in it. I am having a problem with the starter when the motor has been running for a while. I put a push button ignition on the starter and it starts fine when its cold but not when its hot. I can turn off the key and the starter turns over fine but when i turn the key (so it will fire) and push the button it barely turns over (when its hot.) I also put a new ford solenoid wired to the chevy solenoid with a jumper on the chevy one (there's a kit for the chevy hot start problem) and a new chevy solenoid but i still have the same problem when its hot. Any ideas? Thanks

 

why would you put that junk motor in your Toyota?

 

someone had started it and i picked it up for nothing and finished it i would have put a ford 302 in it if it was mine but it already had the conversion kit in it.

 

still having problems

 

Finally figure out the timing was off haha the whole time. Runs awesome now

that's rude and un-called for ...

 

yah sorry, If I saw this thread earlier I would have said Timing was too far advanced. It will make it almost impossible to start.

Glad you got it running !

One of my options of a motor swap is a 383 or cummins 4bt.

Let's see some pics

 

Here are some older pics before i put the top back on. Also recently added a front skid plate and a custom snorkel on the passenger side.

your a jack ass.

 

holy wide tires batman !

are those 20" wide or what?

 

you also might look into a starter motor wrap my starter on my 83 with chevy 350 does the same thing when warm got a high torque starter and fiber wrap problem gone

 

x2 on the starter. ive got a 350 in my yota, and when its hot, it wah wahhh starts but its hard on it, due to the heat of the engine. get a shield or some wrap. you'll be happy with it. also, what a dick move to say that its a junk motor, i like the 307s, can make gobs of power. good luck on your project.

 

As sweet as that truck looks it pains me to know a chevy motor is in it.... but eh what ever glad its runnin... for you better enjoy it while it lasts......

 

I can't see a 22r/re/ret turning those tires, haha...

 

Um.... a 22re could turn those all day but it may have a lack in powa............................... but with gearing..........................

 

haha I know, mine does it all day long .. 15" wide tires..

was just makin a point.

I understand Brand loyalty and in a way I also despise it.

Each has a good and bad side.

I'm going to swap my motor out for something 'simpler to fix, cheaper to fix, more power and tq'. So either chevy 350 stroked to 383 or cummins ... might go with cummins 12v just for simplicity and reliability.

 

Eh what evea floats ya boat i guess.... just at least make sure the 22r goes to a good owner or somethin... hate to see it waste....

 

yea a 22r will turn them, but a sbc will turn them 3 times faster.

there's nothing wrong with putting a v8 in a toy as long as its done properly.

 

Its wrong in a fact that its not OEM..... its not moraly wrong.... but toyotaly wrong.... but i have seen a dodge 318 in a ford F 150.... now thats wrong.....

 

so sad that you think like that. so sad.

I think of what will 'suit me' inside my own reality which is limited by nothing.

You're limiting you ability to mod your vehicle (if you choose to do so) by a limited amount of tools and parts.

Which in it's own right is advanced within the lines of OEM, but very ignorant or misguided when compared to the potential of limitless options.

I have no idea what I just typed, it sounded good.

I'm outta this thread, ciao
