    Hi. I have a 1997 Tacoma 4 cylinder automatic two wheel drive with 97k on it. This truck won't start! The engine cranks but will not start. If I spray starting fluid into the air cleaner it will start but will not keep running. I replaced the fuel pump but it still won't start. Prior to replacing the pump I was having a problem sometimes starting the truck. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dave.

    There is a lot that can cause that. The biggest thing is to make sure the fuel pump is operating. If no power, or a bad ground gets to the fuel pump, then no pressure. Check the fuses and the fuel pump relay.
