Hi, I am new and I am here to tell you the dumb trick I pulled over the last week. First of all, I got home one day, parked my truck and somehow didn't close the door all the way. Come out next day - my battery is drained since that lamp was on all night. In dark I hustle my wife's Nissan to the truck, frantically hook it up to jump start. I hook it up, jump in the seat and turn the key - nothing. At this moment cold sweat hits me as I jump out to double check my hook-up - sure enough, I connected negative lead to positive battery port and positive lead to the engine block. F***! Now I am not getting anywhere fast, lol. I open the Fuse box to make sure - sure enough the Main 120A Fuse toast. That day went to local Toyota dealership and ordered a fuse. Got it today, hook it up, try to jump start with a proper set-up this time - it's turning but won't start. Feels like either no spark or no fuel. Just keeps turning. Before I go messing with either, I thought I would ask what else gets affected/blown when you hook up the jump start the wrong way.
Also, this truck is my first V6 - and I started looking for a distributor to check it (I had few issues with a loose distributor on my old Mazda B2200 that would turn and won't start). I couldn't find one so it dawned upon me that V6 don't even use one. I looked around and noticed something that looks like a computer a chip that says "Igniter". Is the whole ignition computerized in Tundras (starting 2000)?
Anyway, my question is - what could be the reason my Tundra not starting after all the debacle that went on over the last few days.
I appreciate any input.
