Found this old post by serching the main module part number 00014-S0200.
Situation: Wife drove our 80 home, parked it. No worries. 2 or 3 weeks later, I attempted to start it. Crank, no start. Checked fuel level. It was low so canned in 5 gallons and tried again. Crank, no start. Pulled plug wire off back of cap, stuck a nail in it, had another attempt to start while I looked for spark. No spark. Tried the same test on the main wire from coil to center of cap. No spark. Ran to parts store for stuff; coil, wires, plugs ,cap and rotor. Swapped them out. Crank, no start.
Friend suggested hunting alarm wires down, and removing it. Done. Crank and no start.

Grrrrrrrrrrr

I would first replace the fusable links. buy two of them from Mr. Toyota, leave one in the glove box.

A Big Thank You to @2fpower for your suggestion.

I would first replace the fusable links. buy two of them from Mr. Toyota, leave one in the glove box.

It worked like a charm. Once installed the engine cranked, fired off, and purred like a kitten. I also noticed the throttle response was much better after replacing the plugs, wires, cap, and coil.

@2fpower , Does this mean I owe you another 6 pack?

While tinkering on the 80 last night, I installed an aftermarket speaker in the lower dash, drivers side. I had installed the lower passenger side some time ago. I have two more that I may install in the way back rear, or keep to install in the 40.
