An update from when I first posted... I replaced the main engine wire because I was thinking there was corrosion in the wire. After I did that, issue still happened. I then took it to a starter specialist shop in town. They looked at it, and could not pin point the issue either. So the...

I received the new engine wire. Interesting to see where there were plastic clips and stuff that have long been broken off of my wire. LOL. I'm hoping to get this thing installed over the weekend.

I caved and ordered one, you were the slight nudge for me to get one coming. LOL. If the '94 has been discontinued, then '96 might be discontinued soon...

Now I am also wondering, how much of the main engine wire is corroded? Maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into ordering a new engine wire, and justify it. In case anyone is wondering, here is the part number: 82121-60343.

The main engine wire is often a PITA. Last year, I had my engine rebuilt, and I considered replacing the main engine wire. At the time, it was around $450-$480, I think. Now it is closer to $600. I did not do it because of the cost, and I already had a metric $h!t ton of "while I'm in...

I replaced those with new Toyota parts last night. When I installed the new terminal wires, I saw corrosion on the 2 'big' wires going into the NSS. Those 2 'big' wires carry current from the ignition switch and the starter. So now, all components of the starting system have been replaced...

Whelp, I installed the new terminal housings on the truck and the wire ends that go into the terminal housings (at the starter and NSS). When I cut the wires to the neutral safety switch to put on the new terminal wires, I saw corrosion in the wire. As show in my previous pics, the corrosion...

I have the parts to replace the terminal harness and the main 2 wires of the harness to the neutral safety switch. I also have a new terminal harness and repair wire for the starter connector. I can use the old starter connector to build a jumper/bypass wire for the future, like the one you built.

Update: I have installed the new Denso starter. I just received the replacement terminal housing and wire repair parts. As shown above I was getting 11.85v-11.9v to the starter cable. Is that enough?

I reconnected the NSS and tested the voltage to the starter connector. I got 11.90v - 11.85v when turning the key. I did 3 attempts. Battery tested at 12.5v.

I read your post, I like that jumper wire you made.

I have not had a chance yet to test voltage to the starter connector - dang work and kids activities keep getting in the way...

According to FedEx, the Denso starter should arrive today (only 2 day shipping). The terminal housing and repair wires are suppose to arrive sometime next week. I did take the back cover off of the solenoid, and the contact services looked a bit gnarly (but to be fair, I don't know what...

Update, I took apart the terminals to see if there was any corrosion. Unfortunately, they all looked good. I say unfortunately because I was hoping to see something more obvious to explain my issue besides a cheap O'Reilly's starter. Below are pics of the questionable terminals. I did order...

NOICE!
