    2001 Toyota Tacoma 2.4lt 2wd

    drive to the gas station one day and went to start up my truck after turning it off and it wouldn’t start, towed it home and replaced my fuel pump and I just replaced my fuel filter. It won’t start or turn over still, has battery power and good fuel pressure and brand new fuel pump and filter have no clue what it could be

    You need to be more specific...does the starter engage and turn the engine? What lead you to think it was fuel pump if itdidnt crank over.

    My guess is starter if it doesnt crank engine...need more info after that

    No codes came up but I replaced the fuel pump because it started but didn’t stay on unless it was at 2000+ rpms. So we assumed it was the fuel pump, after we replaced the fuel pump it worked for 24 hrs then did the exact same thing again except it won’t turn over now just a buzzing whine noise from the truck when trying to start, tested the started, battery, fuel pump, fuel pressure, and fuses. Pretty much out of guesses kinda feel like it’s a wire or sensor problem just because it worked for 24 hrs after replacing fuel pump
