  • 1997 Petrol Prado 3.4 Starts then stops...

    Hi All, I have a 1997 Toyota Prado. I went to start it and it starts but then around 3 secs later it dies, i continually did this over and over and eventually i drained my battery so had to charge it again. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I cant drive it cause it will only stay on for a couple of seconds Ive asked on other Facebook 4wd forums and everyone seems to have a different answer.. Got a mechanic coming to look at her tomorrow but thought id ask here just in case someone else had this same issue happen to them.

    Have you checked all the fuse's? Have your tried starting it on the other tank? On the sub tank gauge there's a light, what happen to the light when you go to start it?

      Sounds like a fuel issue to me

        Or immobiliser.

          I don't think it would be fuel or n immobilizer as it would start once, then run out of fuel before stalling. Then it would struggle to start again.

          I'd be looking at maf, iac or tps issue. Potentially unplugged after being in the engine bay and forgetting about them.

          If they are unplugged it will start over and over again but shut down pretty quickly again.

          I'd suggest pulling the trouble codes from the engine and seeing what it says.

            If the sub tank doesn't light up when cranking, it's definitely immobilizer issue. but as RanJ has suggested MAF issue's more likely. May even be a split in the intake hose between MAF and throttle body.

              Immobilizer for sure.
              Disconnect the negative terminal in the battery.
              Open the switch as in starting.
              Connect the battery again.
              If now the engine continues to run. The immobilizer is staying charged.
              Get an expert electronic key technician or an alarm installer.

                I had a similar thing happen to us. It would start but die straight away. Turned out to be a computer module, I forget which one.

                  Hi, I have starting issues where it would sometimes start then stops, only done this a few times in the last year then all of the sudden it won't start at all.
                  it starts for half second then stalls.
                  Please help ;-)
