PLEASE HELP - TRUCK WONT START

And if it was a bad fuse, how would i go about checking this/finding out which fuse is blown?

 

The higher CCA rating won't cause a problem.

As far as checking the fuses, you can check continuity on them with a multimeter with them installed. But you said you don't have one so you'll have to pull them out individually and inspect them. On a blown fuse, the metal will look broken inside the plastic.

 

Is it safe to assume I should just check the fuse box located under the hood? Or is it possible it blew fuses under the dash?

 

Check all of them...

 

I have trying to review the job I did in attempting to find something I did wrong.. I might have come to an 'ah ha' moment. When removing the old spark plugs, I realized I did not disconnect the electrical connection to the coils.. Would this cause any problem??

 

What do you mean by "didn't disconnect the electrical connection to the coils."? Like the fuse? Or you didn't pull the old plugs out of the boots?

 

Man, what a nightmare. I bet youre tired of turning that wrench. That's a bunch of times that you've been in there. Let us know what finally happens.

 

What I am referring to are the electrical connections that attach to each coil. You disconnect each one by lifting the tab w/ a flathead screwdriver while simultaneously pulling the plug out....

 

I don't recall doing that with mine. Could you take a picture?
So even the old plugs that used to work, don't work anymore? Nothing was cross threaded? How did the "new" plugs look when you pulled them out after it smelling like raw gas? Were they fouled?
I really hope you can get to the bottom of this. Try:
Ensuring all wires and coils have a secure connection
Ensure all fuses that are related to ignition are ok
That your plugs are seated properly not only in the block but in the coil boot
Make sure you didn't lose your spark plug socket booty in one of the holes
Unplug the battery for as long as you can to try and reset everything

I can't help but think one (or more) of the coils are bad, considering you already tried changing plugs around many times. Good luck man..

 

Have you checked your fuses in the engine bay fuse block yet? Bet ya got a blown fuse. Disconnect the negative from the battery and check those fuses, make sure you replace with same kind of fuse.

I'm sure its the ignition fuse.

 

I will be checking the codes right now. I just came back from sears and bought an OBD Scanner.... Code P2433 came up....Is this helpful?

 

*checking fuses

 

Repair Information, Analysis, and Likely Causes for OBD-II Fault Code P2433 - Secondary Air Injection System Air Flow / Pressure Sensor Circuit High (Bank 1)


When is the code detected?
The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the pressure in the secondary air passage using the pressure sensor located on the air switching valve in the secondary air injection system.
If there is a defect in the sensor or the sensor circuit, the voltage level deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the pressure sensor or circuit and sets a Detected Trouble Code (DTC).
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P2433 Toyota Description
The Secondary Air injection (AIR) system consists of an air pump, the Air Switching Valve (ASV), a pressure sensor, the Air Injection Control Driver (AID) and the Engine Control Module (ECM). For a short time after cold engine starts, the AIR system pumps secondary air to the exhaust port of the cylinder head to purify the exhaust emissions. The secondary air is supplied by the air pump and is pumped to the exhaust port through the ASV.

The AID drives the ASV and the air pump according to command signals transmitted by the ECM. The pressure sensor detects the pressure in the secondary air passage when the AIR system is ON and OFF, and transmits pressure signal to the ECM.

The AID is not only equipped to drive the pump and valve, but also with a diagnosis function to detect malfunctions in the AIR system circuit.

HINT: As a large current is required to drive the air pump and ASV, an AID has been added to the previous system.

 

Would I be getting this code I currently have all the hoses undone?

 

This is a picture of what I am working with right now... The electrical connections which I was referring to are in the close up of the picture..

 

I think I am going to wait for a problem, rather than preemptively replacing something that is not causing a problem.

 

More than likely, yes. I have a hard time believing this is the code that is screwing with your spark plug ignition system. I wouldn't worry about it too much until you check all fuses, and ensure everything is buttoned up properly, clear the code, and try again.

 

Ah yes, those connectors. I unclipped them before pulling the plug out as there isn't much slack to work with if you don't. If you didn't maybe one of the wires got tugged loose from the head.

 

Cool. Don't change your oil until it starts causing your engine problems. You're just throwing money away on needless oil changes anyway.

 

Silence9...Ya thats what Im thinking.. Stupid me. Well im currently checking the fuses to make sure nothing is blown. If not, i guess Ill try to find the wire thats bad..
