Starts then dies

[Robbie007 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Robbie007]

Hey guys looking for some advice. I have an 02 Prado 90 Series, VZJ95R - 5Vz-FE. Last night driving home , it begun to stall I could feel no acceleration was happening until it died. I had a look under the bonnet for a bit (5 minutes maybe) then tried to start it again. It started and I could accelerate it, then dies in about 30 seconds. I found I could do that several times. I immediately thought MAF sensor so I gave it a clean but still no difference, plus it wasn't really dirty.
How do I check error codes in this thing?
Bad fuel pump?
Crank position sensor?
MAP sensor if the Prados even have one?
Idle controller, and where is it?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated cheers.

Prado random failure to start. My Prado sometimes decides not to start at all, but if and when it starts, it runs fine. This happened quite frequently this summer (every other day) especially when the car has been parked in a warm place for a while. A jump start would make it run immediately. Toyota experts could not diagnose the problem.First, they claimed a faulty battery (changed it 3 times), then they suspected a wiring problem so they checked and cleaned all connections/cables, they also suspected the starter relay (cleaned then replaced with a new one), PMH sensor (checked and working). Lately, they suggested to replace the starter itself (expensive part)! I’m not convinced that it is the root cause of the random non-starting problem. The car has been in idle for the past few weeks and once a week, the engine is started and works fine! This is a 2008 Prado, 2.7 l petrol engine. Any thoughts?

knowing the death could have been avoided if he had best realized the seriousness of the scenario, he always felt he become responsible. to make subjects worse, his spouse left him a short time later, leaving him on my own with his six-year-vintage younger son. the hurt and ache of the two conditions had been greater than al ought to stand, and he turned to alcohol for assist. in time al have become an alcoholic.
