Do you have igition on? Other cars needs to boost the fuel pump, if the car has been out of power for a while. I don't know if thats the case for a Toyota... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

warde Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 yes starter does turn ok and ign ok cheers<{POST_SNAPBACK}>pull the fuel pipe off under the bonnet that feed fuel to the engine and place into a clear bottle and turn ignition on if fuel come out the pump is prime if not the pump will need to be primed some how to enable fuel to reach the engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Because you've run the bettery totally flat you may need to replace the battery altogether.This is because running a bat flat can affect its CCA (cold cranking ampage) - The ability of the battery to turn the starter.

lobotomy Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sorry read through again... take it the starter turns ok with the current bat?Check fuel is getting to the engine by the above method. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
