86 toyota wont start?

Glen Cunnington

I have an 86 toyota 22r engine no fuel injection. Brand new battery, spark plugs. I was trying to start my truck today and for some reason I had to crank on the engine for awile and never got it to start. It started to slow down and now it just does one like the starter only goes once just turns. Its also like 15 degrees. Did i screw up the starter????

I doubt You screwed up the starter. My first thought when someone can't get their car to start is that it is flooded especially in a car with a carb. And about the single turn of the starter-- u might have just ran down the batt while u were cranking on it and it might need to be recharged.















I can't make a better assessment without more info. Sorry.

you weren't nice to it. prolly got it purdy hot.















-------------















the new plugs will only perform as good as the cap/rotor. wires too. but mostly effected by cap/rotor-current jumps across contacts. high resistance in the cap/rotor/wires will eventually take out your coil on these.































give your self a full tune up. ignition wise.















get some fuel dryer in the tank and start it initially on starter fluid if you must. let it get good and warm. don't go anywhere. let the exhaust heat up the under carriage. don't know if that stuff will dissolve ice crystals. but the potential for 'em is there.































also,















inspect, clean and lube anything that you can move on that carb. in 15 degrees, everything becomes sticky. likely the carb has never been rebuilt. the sludge accumulated in a float bowl can be an issue.

The starter may have been damaged. If a starter is operated too long without enough time to cool down (the standard is ten seconds cranking, 1 minute to cool) the solder on the commutator will melt and splatter all over the commutator.
