    ***Faulty part is on page 6***



    As the title says, my 2009 (V6, Auto, TRD Sport) wouldnt' start this morning. After a few attempts it ran for about 10 seconds before dying, now won't start anymore.
    -No codes are being thrown
    -Battery is fine
    -Relays are fine
    -Fuses are fine
    -No check engine light was on when I parked it last night
    -Fuel pump is good


    Any other trouble shooting thoughts?

    does it crank over and not start or is it just not doing anything at all when you turn the key

    Thanks, lol

    Yes, I have 1/4 tank of gas.

    Don't think it's the fob key, the flashing key symbol stops blinking when you put it in the ignition.

    Did you get a new key cut? Or using the same key as always?

    If you get a new key cut somewhere, it won't be a chip key. It won't start without that chip key. If that's not issue then let's cross that off. Three things to start the engine- air, fuel and spark. Do you have all 3?

    I have to assume it does since it ran for a few seconds a couple different times but then would die. :notsure:

    If you checked all the essentials like it seemed you have, sounds like a starter disable malfunction but you'll need the other keys to rule that.

    Take off your air filter and try again. Mine did this when it got far too dirty.

    EDIT: When was your last service did they mention it?
