Thank you very much. This is very helpful and I believe is the answer to my problem. This diagram is for 22R model, mine is 3VZE, v6 model. I Just have to figure out my wiring since component locations are different. Not sure when I get this done but I will post an update when that...

Oh boy!!! Griswald, you really asked the right questions, I am exactly experiencing the same issues. I believe you may be the one with the right answer. Because it is not a hard failure and does not fail when you need it to, mechanics cannot figure it out and just want to keep replacing...

I wish the Starter was always the cause of all start problems. That would be so easy to take care of. Starter has already been replaced and I have even covered it with heath shield. Almost all parts involved with Ignition System and Start System has been replaced. Thank you for the...

Hi. Its been awhile and I have got used to the pain of this problem. Yet, I have read more and I have a question. Without refreshing what the problem is I would like to know if anyone can tell on 1990 Toyota 4Runner 3VZE, 3.0L,V6, where is the location of the Ignition Switch Relay (not...

Thank you for the suggestion jbtvt! Previously out of suspicion, I replaced the coil control module (not the coil) and that did not help. To verify the coil, I loosened the coil contact and I got a rough start and an engine fault. When my No Start problem happens I expect the Engine light...

(1990 Toyota 4Runner, Automatic, V6, 3L, SR5, 3-VZE) I have intermittent start problem for a while now and everything in the path of Starting System and Charging system have been checked, cleaned and/or replaced (mostly replaced) based on people’s recommendation on other threads and my own...

1990 Toyota 4Runner, V6, AT, 3VZE. Loosing cooling water from a U-shaped hose of about 10 to 11 inch long located in the front driver side and visible as shown in the images below. Part stores can’t find that hose in the computer system, so they don’t know the name and exact size for...

My apology! That one piece of relay information does not belong there. I have been dealing with this problem so long and in the meantime my son’s 03 Lexus ES300 started having “Start” issues too with same symptoms and the relay test was done on his car and not on mine. Starter replacement...

When the problem happens, I won’t even hear a click, though in last episode which is post Neutral Start Switch cleaning, I heard the click when I attempted to start. It won’t go any farther than that. It won’t get to cranking part at all, otherwise a lot more parts will be suspected I...

I have not felt any difference in performance since the transmission flush. As far as the non-start problem goes: _Battery is only 2 years old and all suggested battery tests are OK and no overnight leakage on the voltage. _Start Relay was tested OK per Toyota manual instruction. _Alternator...

4Runner Kid, somehow I did not receive notification on your last post. I did the transmission flush. As far as the start problem, it acted up again today, after 360 miles and exactly a month after the Neutral Start Switch clean up. Nothing new, same old sudden non-start issue. It...

So far the 4Runner doing alright and no Start issues after the Neutral Start Switch cleaning. But, I have not changed the transmission fluid on this car and the mileage is close to 200K. I want to do a transmission fluid flush but the mechanic says because you haven’t done it for so long...

Thank you Rad4Runner. My 1990 4Runner has a Starter Relay and the problem with my start was that I wouldn't even get a click before the crank part. One of the initial troubleshooting I did was I removed the relay and verified OK per Toyota Manuel test instruction. Non the less, thanks for...

It was difficult to access any of the bolts and nuts and little room for ratchets to move. I ended up bending the 4 inch wide bracket that was across the switch and got plenty of room for my hand and tools. Disassembled, cleaned and rubbed a touch of dielectric grease on contacts, reassembled...

Yes, it was just stuck. DW40 helped and it came loose but leading to a bigger problem. There is a metal hose running in front of it and the valve shaft runs all the way to the hose. I need at least another inch of space to slide this part off the valve shaft. What do this metal hose does...
