So as you know now I am a newb, I even watched the video intended for newbs. It was awesome btw. I am the lucky owner of a 91Runner named Lola, I have only owned her a little over a year. I haven't had many problems with her until I thru a rod at 273k miles. I replaced the engine, and now it seems that everything else decides it wants to break on me. I let my wifey drive the Lola the other day, she stopped to get gas, then she stopped for some food. On her was home some Dumb@#& decided to run a stop sign so she had to slam on the brakes to prevent t-boning them, then she had to floor it to prevent being to boned herself. So she makes it to the stop light a hundred yards later turns left and Lola just shuts off and won't start back up. When you turn the key it sound like she want to turnover but she just won't. I have searched all over and called tons of people on what might have caused it. I was told it is the EFI relay, or a loose hose somewhere. I have searched all over and all the hoses are where they are suppose to be, I checked the EFI relay but can't tell if it is bad or not. I searched on here for people with similar problems but being a newb apparently I did the search wrong. So if anyone can help me out on finding a thread with a similar problem or can tell how to see if the relay is bad or not. Also is the dealership really the only place to buy a new relay from. I have hit a brick wall right now on what could be wrong, and I'm dying to get back out on the trails. Thank you.

 

Man I suck at this I even messed up the title.

 

year make model engine details and location. lets start from there.

 

It's a 91 4Runner V6 3VZE engine 4wd. Location??? not sure what you mean. And TY to who ever moved my post I don't see how I missed that thread.

 

location as in which state your in...

 

When you say:

What do you exactly mean. Does the starter crank the engine over or not? Does it crank and crank and not fire?

 

OK well I live in South East Georgia just north of the Florida border in a small town call St Marys. When I try to start the engine it cranks and cranks but it run, like if I ran out of gas.

Ok 4Crawler thank you for the link. I went ahead and pulled out my glove box, and follow the instructions. I fulled off the relay and did the jumper test. The engine still will not start. I lifted the back seat and removed the carpet. I can hear a click from back there which I believe is the fuel pump coming on, but I'm not sure. Is there any other tests out there to do, or does it sound like my fuel pump went out. All this is bothering me because she was running great and just died.
