Nice SCORE on the free 4Runner!! Too cool!

No fire as in it won't fire up? Why were those fuses blown? Are they fusible links or are they your AM1 and AM2 circuits?

Regards,
BigMike

Hello big Mike,

:)bestgen4runner · « **Reply #4 on:** Jul 19, 2016, 10:35:41 AM »

So here are some questions for you.
let me know answers and We can continue.

How fast is the engine cranking over? slow or what you would expect as normal?
Has the truck ever run? what is its history if you know any of it?
What item is getting hot again?
Have you rechecked the fuses again after replacing.

Here is a video on how to check the engines spark properly.

let me know and we can continue

Infinitive · « **Reply #9 on:** Jul 19, 2016, 01:25:33 PM »

I am Staring to think this could be a prank. where are you from?

Chama New Mexico

This is what i'm trying to do:
I was recharging the battery 15 AMP's. I unconnected the Battery Charger And tried to Crank the Engine: No response except the clicking noise/fuel.

:)bestgen4runner · « **Reply #13 on:** Jul 19, 2016, 03:38:38 PM »

So now it does not crank over? check the previously blown fuses to see if they are open circuit again.
Is English your second language?

Infinitive · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 19, 2016, 03:41:24 PM »

I only speak English, but it could be the Starter.. since its a standard vehicle.

Infinitive · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 19, 2016, 03:43:05 PM »

Because i haven't touched it in a month, so i went online and signed up.

emsvitil · « **Reply #16 on:** Jul 19, 2016, 03:45:20 PM »

Try a known working battery.............

so because its a "standard vehicle" I assume you mean manual you think its the starter? Why?

I still think its a prank, and if it is and I called you on it, shame on you for continuing.
even so I am obligated to help.

Infinitive · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 19, 2016, 04:01:08 PM »

I'm sorry.. for making this sound like a prank.
i am only 14 and a half years old..

Q:)bestgen4runner- so because its a "standard vehicle" I assume you mean manual you think its the starter? Why?

A: Because i hear 2 loud clicks, nothing else happens.

and i checked for blown fuses, they we're fine.
I'll Bump this post up soon and give you updates on what is happening..
i do not want this vehicle to be screw'd up, by my intelligence.
so i'm going to have my neighbor assist me.

I'm sorry if i wasted your time.

BigMike · « **Reply #19 on:** Jul 20, 2016, 01:34:35 PM »

I think Infinitive locked the topic by mistake. I just unlocked it. If it was a mod who locked it, well, I wanna see where this goes

Infinitive,

If you only get a clicking sound when you rotate the key from the ON to the START position, then two quick issues come to mind:

1. You do not have enough amperage at the battery and your batter cables are not firmly connected

and/or

2. Your starter has bad starter contacts. Try smacking on your starter while someone rotates the key back and forth between the ON and START positions.

Regards,
BigMike

Get your battery charged up so that it (the battery) is strong enough to turn the motor. Once that happens, with supervision, spray starter fluid into the air intake. If you're getting spark, and the engine is turning over, it should start and run for about 5 to 10 seconds. That will let you know you are not getting gas. Check the fuses and make sure you fuel pump is working.
