1997 Four Runner EFI 5 speed, just got this truck, & I don't know the
history. The rack is shot, & I can't get the key to go to the start position. it's "locked", by the bad rack/sterring wheel lock, I guess. I triggered the start relay for the soleniod to trigger the starter, now the fuel pump isn't working. I'm pretty sure the truck has been driven with a bad rack, until the worm gear got worn out. There's a lot of play in the steering wheel, to make the wheels turn. How can I get the truck to start? Just to get the truck running, would jacking it up, taking the strain off the front end, "unlock" the steering wheel, so it will crank? Is this common? A friend has the same year truck, with a "leaking" rack. Anyone have any service info on this truck, for wiring? I have info on the 89 - 92, & 89 - 90 pickup 22RE, but it's not the same. Thanks, Dani.

 

DaniBoy,

The sub-forum you originally posted this in was the "Check Out My Truck" section.
That section is reserved for members to post a "profile" of their rigs.

I moved it to the appropriate forum, hopefully here you'll get the responses you need to answer your question.
