I bought this sweet 2008 Land Cruiser in January, which was fully built out but not running due to a crank no-start issue. It would fire up, run for a second, then shut off. I'd try to restart it, and it just cranks. I realized this is a common issue, and noticed the immobilizer code B2799. I installed a new 12V battery, fob batteries, relays, fuses, and FPCM (a common problem on the Tundra). Well, today after cleaning the lower electrical plugs behind kick panels (again), both driver and passenger, it fired up and ran normally for about 5 starts. I drove it around the block for the first time. Parked it back at my house, only to go to restart it, and the same issue of crank no start. I cleaned the electrical plugs a few more times today, as that was the only thing I touched today, but I couldn't get it to run. Does anyone have any pointers or maybe a wiring diagram for the immobilizer? Or a way to bypass it?
I have reached out to many shops and posted in a few FB groups looking for a mechanic to take it to, but no one wants to touch it. I'm stuck and really don't wanna get rid of this, but it's taking up a lot of my time, and it's been sitting almost a year under my ownership already. Plus, this is already a bit above my skill level.
I'm in Sacramento, CA. If anyone is semi-local, I would totally pay anyone to help with this issue or take it to a reputable shop that is willing to touch it.
