    Hey all, I’m in need of assistance.

    I have a 1991 4 runner with the 3.0L engine.

    About four months ago I started having issues with it starting after it ran for about 20 minutes. It wouldn’t even click when turning the key.

    I’ve replaced the battery, starter relay, and finally replaced the starter after it wouldn’t start at all.

    After replacing the starter it fired up after jumping it. I drove it around the city block (a good 4 mile drive) and parked it and it wouldn’t start/ turn over. No clicking at all. Then I went out this morning and it started right up.

    I’m pretty new to at home mechanics and have no idea where to go from here. Any suggestions?

    Replace your battery cables.

    They can rot from the inside out.

    Since you said it's a manual in your title, and you've already replaced the starter relay and starter, if the battery is good I'd look at the clutch switch.
