Tacoma issues are going to make me cry

We are professionals damnit!

 

It's a TRAP!

 

So I'm curious as well.

Per the original post, he charged the battery and it cranked. He hasn't mentioned charging the battery again. How are we (the professionals) so sure it isn't the battery?

Has it been charged again? Has it been swapped recently? He mentioned testing the alternator at AutoZone, but not the battery. I'd start there, but that's just me.

 

Ditto, go get it load tested. He did mention earlier that it was cranking and cranking but wouldn't fire up.

 

alright alright my butt was a little hurt but heres where im at there fellas I put the battery back on charge meanwhile I took the alternator out and took it to the pros at auto zone- tested it its good!!! ya! let my battery charge overnight put the alternator in and tried it again no spark = no run so I yanked my crank (sensor) all three pins are open- is this normal? is there an ohm spec?


p.s. I sprayed ether in my minibike when I was twelve. I aint stopping now

 

Please tell me that you have an automatic battery charger/maintainer... If not you are cooking your battery everytime you leave it charging overnight. It's also recommended that you unhook the negative from you battery if charging it while it is installed in the vehicle.

 

Took it out for a test? Really?
I'm thinking an alternator needs to be installed and spinning for a test.

 

no im cooking my battery, yes I should have left it in- you guys gonna help or just be knowitalley

 

the truck doesn't run and I have a tender sheesh

 

So you're cooking the battery? Just kidding man, where's chris4x4?

I found this, it turned out to be his fuel pump, someone else in the comments said he used sandpaper to rough up the contacts on the fuel pump relay and that was his problem(poor relay connection).

 

Always a good idea to check for fuses that are dirty yeah but his truck is fairly new and i would hope it wouldn't be so nasty under his hood where he lives that could even happen.

I would check all visible cables that run power and ground under the truck like the ones that go to the starter, alternator and frame ground ect too. those would have a higher chance of corrosion from weather.

 

LOL

 

thank you but I done did it, Im pretty sure its the crank sensor I need to know how to test it with a meter!!!!!!

 

its hilarious when your truck is running, your turns a comin!

 

It's amazing what Google can find on the internet..

I wasn't laughing at your truck not running. I was laughing at referring to people at auto zone pros.

 

We've all been there, it sucks but it'll be ok.

 

I thought....

 

my autozone joke made you laugh?
