Crank the nose start.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for some help. I've got a 1996 toyota tacoma 2.4 l. My truck lost power and now it will not turn over. I had recently replaced the Transmission I don't know if that isn't anything to do with it. I have gotten through all fuses and replace the alternator but I got a distributor from a different year toyota. I changed the spark plugs spark plug wires. I did disconnect the after market alarm system. Does anybody have any idea what it could be?

 

Wrong sub forum, but check that you got the new coil wires installed in the correct order.

 

Thank you very much for your reply. I've only posted on here one time but what is the correct order that goes on? Do you have a schematic of it?

 

96 would be a 1st gen.

Be certain to describe your issues in detail and correctly. Perhaps it’s a language barrier issue but, crank the nose start makes no sense. When you turn the key, does it crank but fails to start?

It’s also good to mention recent repairs, like the engine started and ran fine prior to replacing the transmission.

Best of luck.

 

Yes sir it cranks but doesn't turn over. Ok I will definitely make it more specific.

 

Aftermarket alarm items getting disconnected have caused a lot of issues for people. I’d try reconnecting and see what happens.

Maybe mods can move it to correct sub forum please?

 

Does the horn work?

 

I don't have a schematic for the spark plug wires, but.. The cylinders for the 4 cylinder engine are 1,2,3,4, starting with 1 at the front by the bumper, 4 by the firewall/windshield. So if your distributor has numbers to match, that should help.

 

Thank you !

 

Do we have spark?
Fuel?

Do you have a can of carb cleaner?
A plug wrench?

We need to start somewhere.
We need to know what we do and don’t have.

 

I have every tool known to man. I'm just not a mechanic I just like tools. Yes the horn does work and I have the spark plugs in the correct locations. Couldn't by chance be the clutch switch

 

Swap the horn and efi relay

 

OK I'll try and do that. Thank you all for your help. I'll post updates.
