What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Woudnt that be kinda difficult on the 2.7? That starter is buried.

 

I think it'd be rather easy to have a battery on floor and some wire with alligator clips. At least in my opinion. And yes, I've pulled my starter a few times I know where it is

 

But to hold test leads on it while its being cranked? Remember he has the SC pulley in the way now too.

 

Nobody cranking, key in on position, battery on floor next to tire, remove tire if you need, connect clips to battery terminals, connect clips to starter

 

From underneath, not on top

 

dibs on the blower

 

Well there's your problem lady!

 

I’m pretty sure. I don’t think unplugged vacuum lines or sensors would cause a slow crank.

 

nope - I 2nd taking readings off the starter while it's cranking

 

I’m not putting that old starter back in unless I know for sure it’s good. I’m going to test it against the FSM instructions later.

 

Why, is it difficult to get in past the control arms?

 

4 Cylinder problems.

 

It has to fit through here. It took me longer to remove it than to actually unbolt it and remove the connectors.

 

Two different procedures. Either one will tell us if full voltage is getting to starter

If electrical testing this is too confusing than he should prolly just have it diagnosed

 

If crank sensor isn't connected it won't fire. I'm not saying it's causing your slow issue just suggesting that it sounds fast enough to fire to me.


I pulled my starter out through the wheel well and didn't think it was too bad.

 

I get that stupid code always right before I gotta get a smog. I been getting the Bosch ones from AutoZone, the Denso I know will last longer

 

The day and age were a standard trans was better than an auto is long gone. Sure 3 pedals are more fun and take more skill but thats about it.
