2003 Toyota 4runner dies/won't start

2003 Toyota 4WD 4runner Limited: Dies when idle (at a stop) and won't start - won't even turn or crank. Battery is new and toyota shop says they cannot detect problem. Have to turn key (no crank - like a dead battery) several times until it miraculously starts. All electrical stays on and operates - power windows, lights, radio - so it is not a dead battery.
Shop has recomended replacing body CPU, but not gaurantee it is the problem!

    i have a 2005 toyota 4runner with the exact same problem. two shops have had the car and it seems like they are shooting in the dark for an answer. my questions is, would a starter problem cause the idling out? are they two different problems or one?

Electrical problem with 1996 toyota 4runner

check the alternator. should be giving out 14 volts. around 5 amps on idle. also check the earthing wires in the engine bay and check they have good contact any and most electrical problems are down to a bad earth.

I have a 1996 Isuzu Hombre. Sometimes it won't start and just turn over. It also dies sometimes while driving or just idleing at stop sign. When this happens there is a clicking and buzzing sound

Sounds to me like a bad battery, however the alternator could be bad as well if it's not charging the battery enough to allow for amperage to crank. Auto Parts Forum
