Yesterday I got the coolant hoses put on, filled it with antifreeze and the thermostat housing started leaking. I knew it was a possibility with how my broken bolt repair went. I am going to try a quick fix for now but a friend of mine has a spare manifold for me once I can pick it up from him. Set the engine to TDC and installed the distributor, wired in the fan controller for the electric fan, put the battery in, tried to fire it up but no luck. the starter seems to be sluggish and almost hanging up. I need to follow RAD4Runners starter relay fix and see if it fixes it, I also need to check my fuses and fuel delivery because there was not even a spit or sputter but it was late and getting dark so I just closed up last night.



Today was honey-do lists and homework, tomorrow morning is our local States day parade and festivities so maybe in the afternoon I can put a little time in the 4Runner again.
