No Start after Coolant Flush/New Rad

Also went thru 2 of the 3 tests in this download site
Both mechanical tests pasted

Sounds like a bad ECT to me, if it goes open circuit it thinks the truck is like -40F and floods the shit out of it. Might start if floored but won't hardly run

 

I dunno guys
I’m hitting a wall here

IMO
What I can do here to drive(not a solution)
-unplug MAF
-start truck
-get taco warmed up
-plug in MAF
Then drive

ugh

 

The only other likely failure point could be the intake temp sensor on the side of the airbox, see if it is loose, it can cause the same issue as the ECT

 

Can I test the continuity of the 2 wire sensor?
Sensor too far back for multi meter
Sensor is new but AM
Thanks

 

saw that
Lemme look

 

Holy Shit

no continuity for that airbox sensor

just for testing, paper clip trick to bypass?

 

I think that'll go to like 250*F so maybe don't cause I'd bet it'll start like shit still, its a common sensor on old toyotas though, I have a couple from my old corolla, bet the local auto parts store has one for ya

 

Despite no continuity

Ohms moved down when I put a lighter to sensor….moved down
Put sensor in front of a fan moved up

 

Paper clip method?

not to Loadie fix
But to test if she starts?

 

is it in range?

 

try it

 

Kk

as far as readings all over the place
But once I firmly applied contacts, definitely went up and down

 

WOW
Started right up
Popped P0110 air temp circuit
(Obviously)

incredible!!!!!!

 

U da man

 

So cool to see the community help somebody out like this. Nice work @Speedytech7

 

89424-12010 I’m finding as prt#

Anyone can confirm?

thanks again speedytech

 

Yessir. That 89424-12010 part number looks good for a 96 Taco 2.4. Inlet Air Temperature sensor for EFI. It is superseded nowadays to 89424-06010, shows overnight availability at my dealership. Retail is around $124.

 

Sweet find, Would this sensor also cause rough idle during cold start ?

 

Got back from mini vaca with kids today
Air temp sensor has not arrived

fingers crossed that this is the issue
Keep everyone updated
