  1. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Update:
    Got the new pump in, then lost spark. Pulled the wires, no spark a any of them. Feared the timing chain broke, pulled the distributer and turned the motor over while watching the rotor....
  2. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    So I assume that tab needs to slide under the squared plastic cap? Rather ask a dumb and probably obvious question than break that and make the job harder.
  3. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Nothing big, I have the remember me tagged, just noticed last time after typing up a post it mentioned I had to be logged in to post.

    Anywho, been trying to get this fuel pump replaced. Drained...
  4. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    From what Autozone shows, the repair kit is just fuel lines. The gauge itself is working just fine, so I have little concern with it at the moment. It is a "while your in there" job, but I think I...
  5. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Ok, guess the listening test doesn't work. Fuel pump doesn't turn on until the key is turned to start, so that test is mute. Went to locate the fuse but it isn't labeled. Any idea which fuse the FP...
  6. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Quick update. Still hunting down the starting issue. Ended up fixing the + cable that runs from the batt to the fuse box. PO did a hack job on splicing in new wire. Attempted to replace the whole...
  7. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    For now ill put the multimeter on the battery, then pull fuses till the draw disappears. Once I know what fuse it is, then ill need to get technical. Been watching how to's on YouTube but its always...
  8. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    It started. Looking like a overnight draw on the battery. Will need to find the time to pull fuses and locate it.
  9. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Just unhooked the battery after a trip to dinner. Threw the multimeter on it before I disconnected it. 12.77 on the multimeter. Ill hook it up in the morning and see if it starts.
  10. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    So got to thinking, haven't really stopped thinking about it yet. Here are my thoughts, dismissing the alternator and battery. Electrical draw over night or a co worker mentioned starter relay.

  11. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Gonna have to wait till my next day off looking for a connector. Until then, I think my alternator is going south. Noticed once the weather started getting colder, in the morning the 4runner had a...
  12. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    That might work, I'll need to take another look. Dawned on me that crimping is out of the question since the connector is inside a plastic clip. I bet its a spade on the inside of the clip.
  13. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Problem is, there isnt anything on the sending unit to connect it too. If there was a piece there, its MIA. Its the least of my worries at the moment, but it will bug me.



    I assume its a little...
  14. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Update.....Good news, and bad news...

    Good news, I got it started. Went and replaced the + and - cables, hooked it all up and viola!

    Bad news. When I went to start it the first time, nada. Just...
  15. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Quick parts # search shows there different starts. Took the starter in to have it tested and it came back fine. Gonna figure out how to pull the positive cable to the starter and replace that....
  16. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Update, went to start it up today, battery acted like it was dead. Slow cranking and never starting. Grabbed the jumpbox and it acted the same way. Tested the battery on the multimeter and its at...
  17. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Out with the old, in the with the new. Once I got the new one in, connected the battery cable ground, then the signal wire (I think thats what its called, still had a couple loose wires left. One...
  18. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    I just picked one up with a lifetime warranty. Need to get it going today as its the only family vehicle. Still scratching my head on the plastic boot thing.
  19. Re: MechanicallyDecline's 1990 4Runner repair(s) log

    Pulled the starter, what a pita! Went to take the cover off to clean the contacts but encountered a bolt that couldn't clearance another part of the starter. Stripped and stuck.

    This is my spot to post and document any and all issues that I come across with my 4Runner and need advice/help with. Instead of eventually making multiple threads, I figured 1 spot would be better....

    Re: New guy, new to me 1990 4runner

    Thanks everyone for the welcome. 4x4mike, I've noticed that about the search, was wondering if I was doing something wrong. I'll probably end up starting a separate thread just for the repairs to be...
