OK, so it wont jump... doesnt dance either. any suggestions?

Yea jump start...booster cables. The other day I started it from a friends truck...without the 4 runner having a battery in it. Now i managed to install a dead battery, got my booster (jumper) cables onto it and got it running for 15 mins. then I couldnt get it to start at all...even with...

Thank you! Good idea except... Sound defenetley comes from under the hood...? :(

Hey guys :) I just bought a 1991 4runner, for 800$ and it needs a little work. Why would the same noise come from under the hood when I turn the steering wheel and press the brake pedal? I have no power assist right now, I know it needs a new powersteering pump, but I cant figure out the...
