Hi, my Landcruiser 100 series 1998 just doesn't want to start sometimes. It has plenty of crank and just turns over and over sometimes it is ten minutes before you get going. I have had the fuel filter and fuel pump recently replaced and also the crank angle sensor replaced but it still does the same thing. Very frustrating, i just want it fixed. Pleeeease has anyone got any answers. Help me. Ps l even contacted my local toyota dealer and they did not have any idea. Cheers Deano

Replace the EFI fuse under the hood. A good fuse with less than optimal current can mess with the security system and cause cranking without start.

I have spoken to a mechanic/friend today and he seems to think that replacing the EFI fuse will not fix the problem. But l am going to do it anyway and see if it works. I will be changing it in the next 24hours I have ordered it and waiting for it to arrive. l will keep you posted Deano
There should be spares in the lid of the fuse panel. It could be a number of things, but fuses are the cheapest place to start. If that doesn't work, dig into this thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/179908-help-im-irate-ignition-trouble.html

Hi guys, just getting back to my starting issues. It would appear it is a problem with my second key which is non genuine and when I insert it into the ignition the imobiliser light does not go off all the time and there is a bit of play with that key inserted. With the original key, it fits in much tighter and and the light does go off everytime. I have spoken to toyota and I can get another original key from them for $50 plus the cutting cost and then it needs to be programed to the vehicle at a cost of ????. So thankyou to all you guys that helped me out on this problem. Cheers Dean
