Believe it or not, I'm still fighting this issue. W not away for a while then started doing it again. I've replaced the starter relay, starter, and redid the negative terminal. Battery, alternator, and starter all tested ok. It starts eventually every time I try, but this is getting old.

Can't hurt. I'll give that a go next. Thanks!

Yeah. That was one of my first thoughts too. It makes no difference. It behaves the same whether or not I use the clutch override or push the clutch pedal in.

Hello all. I have a 96, 3.4 V6, 5 speed that has been giving me some starting issues. Sometimes, with no rhyme or reason, it will not start when I turn the key. I'll get a click, sometimes a low whine/growl, and if I hold the key after 10-15 seconds it will start. I replaced the starter, but...

Having similar issue with my 1996, manual transmission. Will turn over fine for a time then no luck every now and again. Turning key over and over will finally get the starter to engage. There's an audible click then nothing. I have replaced the starter. Where else to look?

Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I am not new to the forum, but have been gone a while. I've had a 2nd gen and a 3rd gen previously, until the 96 was totaled by a drunk hitting me. I just got another 96 and am getting to know it's character. Anyhow, I look forward to being around again.

I use 5-30 all year round. It is -30f outside right now.

Well, if there's two of us, then there's more. I will take a pic or two tomorrow and add them to this thread.

That work for you too?

Ok, after talking with another local 4Runner guy who had a similar issue, I got it resolved. He said there is a flap inside the heater unit that was staying open bypassing the heat. He said the lever was underneath the passenger side dash. So I went outside and started playing with the...

I've gone through and searched but am not really finding anything useful. I have a 96 with the 3.4l engine. I am not getting any heat up front. The fan blows but no real heat. What I have done so far. Checked coolant level (ok) Replaced thermostat Flushed heater core, finding it is not...

Or I could pick these up and sell the tires. Studded snow tires with rims Edit... .nevermind. They are 15's

Would these fit my 96? chevy 16 in wheels

Even though you don't need to have a license to carry concealed here in Alaska, some places will post that you can't have a firearm. I always think about the repercussions of having it on me where I can control it, vs leaving it in the Runner where it can potentially be stolen. Unless it is...
