    Motor fires up and runs about 5-10 seconds then shuts off. I have no idea what's going on

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    You'd probably have better luck posting this in 1st gen! ;) But for the record, it sounds like a ignition problem, but I have no idea what would cause it. Wiring is not my cup of tea at all. Best of luck!
