07 cranks, won't start--no fuel?...

[tylerwatts53]

Well, I had not actually tried to start the car with that jumper wire in. But I realized why it was not running for more than a few seconds--I had never put the intake hose (coming from the air filter) back together from when I had sprayed the starting fluid. Once I did that, I put the jumper wire in, and presto, it started up and kept running. I pulled the jumper wire, and it kept on running as if nothing had ever happened! Drove down the road and back about a mile, through all gears, just to be sure--running like the Toyota I know and love!

So should we chalk this up to a case of a bad connection that happened to get tightened up as I went through everything, or should I expect further troubles down the road? As for me, I'll just go about my normal commute and mark it as a miracle (I actually had prayed that I would get this fixed without spending any money on it! The Lord works in mysterious ways... ;-)

Thanks for all of your help--especially Scott.
