this seems to be the general consensus so I'm going to try. People have mentioned it's a pretty big pain to get the starter off and you need quite a few specialized tools.. I have a decent starter set but nothing advanced like some of the socket extenders and things they're talking about. I...

So a few months ago randomly I started having the clicking but not starting problem, usually after a few tries it would fire up. Most of the time it would fire up first try no problem. The other day I went out and could not get it to fire for the life of me. I realized it was very low on gas...

SOLVED: Thanks to some help from nissanh, I figured out that I had taken the distributor completely out instead of just taking the rotor off to do the job. He helped me line everything up, get my TDC in place, and now its up and running. Just have to do the timing and a few adjustments and I'm...

on this plug I get no reading from the male end, and I get a light from my tester on only one side of the female end. What exactly is this?

Def not showing spark, and I tried starter fluid and checked for gas, both fine. So I'm not getting spark, fuses and wires seem fine, unless the fusible link or wiring can be blown or damaged I'm not sure what else would affect spark, considering the work I did..

another note, I heard a clicking noise near the fuse box when she was cranking it over, would it be possible that its not a fuse but the fusible link part that blew and is causing it to not spark?

I checked all the fuses, even replaced the 80a just to be sure, and none of them were bad. I did find out I'm not getting spark by testing a wire on the engine block and having my girlfriend crank it over. If anyone has any further advice on how to proceed please chime in, its really bad...

I did go over the wire placement and according to the diagram I found, I did get them on correctly. (1,3,5 front to back on passenger side, 2,4,6 on drivers, and the distributor cap is labelled, coil was easy to spot of course.) someone is helping me through pms as well, and came to the same...

My 4runner was running fine, 1990 v6 3.0. I noticed the brake light and battery light had come on, and was having a few power issues, (my cigarette lighter has an mp3 fm transmitter, and when I turned the turn signal on it would reset.) Anyway I bought new brush wires, did the swap, and put...

when I tried this procedure it worked fine, except my "Remove the constant 12 V terminal nut and the plastic boot" part. The gold screw (mine was completely rusted) broke at the nut. So I need to know the name of that part so I can replace it, and I can't find anything by searching, any help...
