Toyota Pickup random stalling and issues with starting, cranking continuously on Toyota Pickup

Problem overview

Some Toyota Pickup owners report experiencing random stalling issues, which may be linked to a sticking thermostat, as some users have noted that stalling began around the same time as thermostat problems. Others have found that replacing the cold start injector has resolved intermittent starting and flooding issues. Additionally, problems with the ignition switch and related wiring, as well as starter or starter wire issues, can contribute to stalling, and there are workarounds available for fixing the starter circuit wiring. Furthermore, some owners report difficulties with starting their vehicles, particularly experiencing continuous cranking without the engine starting, which could indicate a failed starter relay. Symptoms of this issue include a lack of response when turning the key, which may be rectified by replacing the relay. In cases where the car clicks but does not start, potential causes include a weak battery, dirty battery terminals, a worn starter motor, or a stuck solenoid. It is advisable to check these components before attempting a jump-start. For persistent problems, consulting a mechanic or automotive specialist for a thorough diagnosis and repair is recommended to ensure the proper functioning of the Toyota Pickup.
