Please read the question, it has nothing to do with the car not starting... The questions is WHY won't the trans shift into overdrive )
It's an intermittent problem and probably a sticky OD solenoid in the trans or maybe temp sensor in cooling system etc.
But my point here is please read the question and answer accordingly instead of going off on a tangent and wasting ppls time!
Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model Category.
If it cranks, it _does_ turn over. You are cranking but not firing or starting.
Does your vehicle have an anti-theft alarm and immobilizer? Is the battery light on, or is it the anti-theft light? If so, it needs to be reset when you disconnect the battery. It sounds like you have a battery issue, or a battery charging issue. Your best bet is a mobile auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to correctly diagnose.
The link is inconclusive regarding an immobilizer, but I bet it has one.

For many of the 90's and 2000's Toyota various models - Camry, Tacoma, 4 Runners, Corolla, and some other models it is usually caused by temperature sensitive fan switch on the radiator not operating. Electric fan on the radiator should operate when temp above 200 degrees. Less often the control relay 90987-03003 is defective. Check if bubbling in the radiator smells like exhaust. That would indicate a blown head gasket. A jumper wire from your marker light positive to the lower contact in the fan control relay socket will operate your fan when parking lights are on. The larger vehicles with more powerful radiator fans will need a hefty jumper from a headlight positive to avoid overheating the lighting wiring. Make sure the engine is off and warmed up to check the radiator core with your hand to see if it is getting circulation. If it is all cold the thermostat might be stuck.

Hi
It sounds like you have a loose connection either grab a torch and look under the dash as much as possible to see if any connections are loose or take it to an auto electrician and and ask for a quote to check out the issue.
most of these models have 2 oil lights.The red one is oil pressure,if flashing or on when engine is running,it is usually serious.check oil level,but usually caused by blocked pickup screen(a common toyota fault) when services aren't done.The orange oil light is tripped by an oil level sensor on the side of the sump when the oil level is low.If the oil level is ok,note this is a common fault especially if oil changes have been missed,and/or a petrol engine oil used and sludge builds up,sometimes using an additive for flushing prior to oil change can help,but may not work on 1st oil change.
This is slightly counter-intuitive, but the plastic lens needs to go in and up before it comes out. After removing the two screws, use something thin and flat to pull down on the underside painted part of the wing between the two screws. A little bit of prying downwards. Two raised lips become visible - they are holding the lens from being able to be pushed up and in. A second pair of hands could help. Then use your thumbs on the lens close to the screws, gripping with your fingers on the top of the wing and squeeze up. POP!

- Check the radiator cap for proper sealing.

Hi
There is are 3 bolts securing the starter motor, the starter motor is located under the passenger seat area and should be accessed from under the vehicle. The key is to get the van high enough to be able to slide comfortable under the side of the van to access all bolts, only the bottom bolt has a bolt and a nut the other 2 bolts have threads which secure the starter motor onto the engine there is one bolt at the bottom, one bolt in the middle and one bolt near the very top you will have to undo the 2 x 10mm bolts that hold the dip stick first to be able to get to the middle and top bolt of the stater motor. take your time and have some patience you will get it it just takes practice.
Hi
I am unsure if this is the only problem with the kick down cable but you may need to remove the bottom pan of the transmission to be able to disconnect or reconnect if you cant access it the change the kick down cable from the outside the transmission.
