JB 91 Runner 3.0
Hey all,
well I screwed up...replaced my starter and the positive was touching the body of it.
put the battery cables back on for a sec and heard what sounded like my fuel pump on but a little louder. Did it again for a sec and heard it again and saw just a bit of smoke come from under the rig in the vicinity of the tank.
Figured out the reason, bent the cable down so to not touch the starter. Lights, interior everything seems to be working. All fuses checked and fine. Won't crank though.
anybody have advice, or a list of checks I should Do?
Thanks in advance, JB

I've got a bit of a 4x4 prob.
91 4runner 3.0 4x auto.
when I shift into 4H it won't engage. If I shift down to 4L it will engage as if in 4h. Then the bad part...When it engages, it jerks and shimmies and feels like the rig is falling apart. When I disengage, it's normal driving in 2H.
I've checked all fluid levels, checked the vac and elect to the front dif and transfer case.
also worth noting, I replaced my trans and case less than a year ago, also cv joints and bearings. I could have messed things up during...wouldn't be the first time...
thanks in advance, JB
