okay my 95 4runner wont start

i push the clutch in all the way

turn the key

then it sounds like a toy gun shooting

-yes i have gas
- this just started

any help?

 

bad connection, dead battery, starter needs rebuilt. check those in that order

 

are you serious.....

 

check the battery connection

 

When you say "then it sounds like a toy gun shooting", what exactly are you describing? A Click - Click every time you turn the key or a rat-a--tat-tat noise like a machine gun?

Here is one simple test you can perform:

sounds like a bad starter to me.....

 

Yea, bad starter. Have someone tap on the starter while you try and crank it. If it starts. you need a new starter

 

Okay, my 86 is giving me a click click when i try to start. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it just clicks (sounds like pass side kick panel area). When it does crank, it fires for a second, then dies. Then i crank it again and it lights up, but runs rough, low idles for 15 to 20 seconds before coming fully to life. Seems like two seperate problems, but help would be nice. (not trying to redirect here, hoping for add on info)

 

4runner901: could be worn teeth on ring gear try turning your engine over and try it again.

plumo57: have you cleaned your battery terminals lately my 86 did the same thing.

 

they didnt look too bad, but i'll give it a shot
