88 4 runner wont start (1 Viewer)

[attackchef]

I have a 22re and it died over night, I jumped it every day for about 3 days in the morning, then I got a new battery, It still wouldnt start, then I found the 80 amp fuse blown, changed it(what a bitch) it started drove home, and now it will only start (or even begin to make a sign of life) if I hook up jumper cables. Then it starts up. What is the deal, I had the altenator checked, they said it was fine. What now?

First thing I would do is take a very close look at all your cable connections, especially at the battery, the grounds, and at the starter.

I'd have the place you got the battery check it to make sure it's good as well, unless they did it when you got it... My dad just got a bat that died after 2 months... it happens...

What did you figure out with this?
