No problem so far. And overnight, your Toyota 4runner won't start more or has trouble starting. The most complicated thing is that we do not necessarily fully understand where the problem comes from. Since it's already too late for your appointment, take a few minutes to understand the problem. We will discover through this article what will be the most usual reasons and how identifier.
Your Toyota 4runner's battery is discharged
This is undoubtedly the most usual problem, and certainly the most basic to fix. Your Toyota 4runner headlights turn out to have been on all night, the pilot light inside the vehicle, or simply the keys on the ignition, etc. Anything that can consume electricity while the engine block remains off may be the cause of the concern. But it also happens as soon as the battery turns out to be really too old, or alternator. In order to check if the battery of your Toyota 4runner is discharged there is a very easy way. If it happens that the light from the headlights remains low, that means it's a battery problem! On the other hand, supposing that the headlights turn perfectly, it is that the problem comes from elsewhere. In order to charge the battery, you most certainly know how to do it, and you have to think of constantly having cable within your trunk. It also remains conceivable that the thimbles of the battery be oxidized. In this situation, you just need to open the hood and check if they are dirty. In this situation you can remove the material using a brush. If it doesn't work, you will need to replace the battery.
The starter of the Toyota 4runner is worn
It happens less frequently than a discharged battery but it can still happen from time to time. In order to understand what you need to do you are going to need to understand the role of a starter on your Toyota 4runner. The latter is a kind of engine inside the engine. The difference is that it is fully electric. Indeed, it is the latter that will allow the engine to start, and the electricity necessary for its activity comes from the battery. To make it work it will sometimes be enough to put a few small strokes on its carcass so as to take off the coals in order to leave the electricity circulate.
Your Toyota 4runner's engine is flooded
We don't wish you that. Sometimes it is still possible to successfully start your Toyota 4runner, but it also happens that the engine becomes irreversibly broken. It happens especially when it is cold. Generally, you can discern it as soon as you try to start and you can feel a lively gasoline smell. You just need to wait around twenty minutes and the problem will be gone. On petrol cars it is also possible to remove petrol in the spark plugs but this remains a manipulation not recommended for beginners mechanics.
Conclusion
If it happens that your Toyota 4runner does not start, the problem may come from a electric problem and less frequently of a engine problem. You now have the main solutions to distinguish the problem, and if it does not disappear, you can go to a professional, they are paid for it after all! Be careful and have a good ride.
