Engine turns..no start '94
Hello,
New member here, hoping to glean some expertise from all of you!
My youngest son worked all summer and saved to buy his first 4 runner (he isn't even 16 yet). He found a 94 v6 3.0 (3.slow) with about 125,000 on it. We drove it around town for about a week after buying it, when all of a sudden, it sputtered at a stop light, did a couple shakes and then died on us. The engine would turn over, but would not start.
We towed it home and he has since replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, air filter, plugs, rotor/cap...and still no start. Every once in awhile, it rumbles just a second on the first crank, but doesn't stay on or ever give that sign of life again. The timing belt is next, but a quick inspection didn't look like that was the culprit.
Are there any fuses/relays that I should try to check/replace? What about sensors that I could bypass to see if it helped? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I have until Jan 1st to get it running for his 16th bday.
