Try spraying carb cleaner into the throttle body and see what happens-if it starts and dies out -check the fuel pressure -if No Start look for spark -disconnect a sparkplug or 2 and ground it to the engine and have helper crank it over-do you have spark-No spark continue to troubleshoot the ignitiion system. Got spark-check compression/valve and ignition timing.

Hi all, my Toyota truck with 22R engine and fuel injection will not start or even fire if I give it any gas while I crank it over. It will only start at idle, which doesn't work too well. Hard on the starter. Please advise! Mark

Hi, thanks for your response. The truck cranks just fine and will fire and start if I don't give it any gas while cranking. Of course, since it doesn't seem to fire while giving it gas, it starts (or tries to) at idle which is not very robust and I'm using the starter too much. It fires and tries to start with no gas, but when I press the gas pedal it still cranks, but makes no attempt to start. Hope that clears things up. Mark

When you turn key to run -do you hear the fuel pump-if so check the fuel pressure make sure its within specs and then comeback with the pressure readings If not could be fuse/COR&EFI relay, STA signal, and fuel pump itself

I had my check engine light come on then my buddy said did a diagnostic on it and it said it was my O2 sensor not a big deal unless I need to pass smog which I don't so I haven't fixed it yet. Then I left my lights on at work and when I came out battery was dead went to jump it that didn't work my truck didn't even turn over. Then we replaced the battery because found a hole in the batter leaking acid. Still no luck on starting the tuck. The head lights come on and i've changed my starter relay and still nothing. No lights in the cab and my starter won't even crank at all. What possibly could it be? I have oil and all my fluids.

Hi,

I had a similar issue with my '89. Turned out to be a fuse on the inside of the cab. Headlamps worked, cab lights didn't and ignition didn't. Check your fuses. I think it's a 15 amp. It should be labeled indicating "instrument panel lighting" or such.

Unless you totally understand how to analyze all the scan tool data you're going to have to resort to some swaptronics and actually try a new MAF. That wouldn't be the route we would take but the correct option would be to have it diagnosed correctly by a professional on scene.

Hi biged15red, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

The Ne and G signals has to make it to the computer in order to give an Igt signal telling the ignitor to fire the coil, when this happens the ignitor will send an Igf telling the computer combustion has occured this actions is repeated to each cylinders-I recommed you check these wires from the distributor to computer

Hi!
My pickup truck will not start -- had my mechanic check it out and he said it's the the battery but the battery is only a few months old, and I suspect it may be something else. Truck will not start -- I cannot start it with jumper cables - he tested it with a battery meter and nothing. We already took out the amphlifier as it seemed to be draining the battery. The stereo was off, the dome light was off. Can you help!

Thanks you!

Pickup was running great. Son rear ended another car at 20 mph. I removed the hood, fenders, front bumper, the radiator support, radiator, fan, all damaged be on repair. The top flywheel on the drivers side of the engine was bent and the belt knock off. The rest of the engine looks undamaged. When I try to start the truck the electric system turns on, the start turns over but the engine will not start. Could the missing belt be the reason?

Will the engine turn over? Did you replace the crankshaft pulley? Does it have a crank sensor at the pulley?

What is the symptom? Won't crank or cranks but won't start? If it's a no-crank, start by measuring the battery voltage. If it's close to 12.6 volts, turn on the head lights so some current is flowing, then move the voltmeter probes along the cables to the next points you can measure on. We're looking for the first place the voltage goes down significantly or to 0 volts. That will be the location of the bad connection.

If you hear a single loud clunk each time you turn the ignition switch to "crank", suspect worn contacts in the starter solenoid. That's an inexpensive repair.
