1997 Toyota 4Runner Questions & Answers
Installed head gasket and timing belt, will not start 1997 toyota 4runner
Be sure you have the crankshaft mark and cam mark are still in position. They do NOT move, EVER. If the were to move, it would throw the cam timing off, and THAT's not supposed to EVER happen. Running it with cam timing off will not work. It won't run. As you can well see. IF it's moving, there's something else wrong, like most likely the tensioner is malfunctioning and not keeping the belt tight.

Shutting Off When At a Stop!
It has a low oil sensor that will disable the ignition if more than a quart low . It could be a bad ignition switch, I just had to replace one on a Ford bronco that was doing the same thing. Also it is probably time for a fuel pump ( fuel starvation)
Own a 1997 toyota 4-runner SR5. I live in Edmonton
if all you heard is a click when turning your key and after a few try's it will crank then the starter contacts are worn out, you can replace them easy or just get a new not rebuild starter. one more thing put a volt meter on your battery and crank your engine if voltage drops below 10.5 v battery may be at fault or starter is drawing to much current.
How do change crankshaft seal on toyto 4runner sr5 97
front seal --remove harmonic balancer/ front pulley
if it is a belt for the cam shafts set it on tdc no1 piston so that all the marks line up then remove the belt and the bottom pulley to get to the seal
if it is a chain the seal will be after the balancer
if it is a rear main seal, remove the transmission and flywheel
best advice is to get a workshop manual for the vehicle and follow the directions and photos closely
