    Hello,
    I'm new to the Tacoma world... I must say love the little guy, but it seems to be testing my devotion. Problem is periodically it won't start and it is so random. I have replaced the starter (twice) the starter relay and the ignition switch. Anyone ever experience this? I can start it by pulling the relay and jumping the 2 connection posts with ease. It has no problem firing up when it is working properly.

    If you can jump the relay an start it I would look at the switch.

    New switch just replaced it. It still acts the same as the one prior to the replacement part
