if you have or anyone else has a non working starter for 2jz, I will buy it
Thanks, you're super helpful.
Another update: Car started when I ran a wire to the starter plug, and touched it to the + terminal, so the starter works fine. I'm thinking it has something to do with wiring, or a bad ignition terminal. Or if anyone has any other ideas, let's hear them!
Have you tried jumpering pins 3 and 5 on the starter relay to bypass it? Did you check the ignition/starter fuse in the kick panel?
If you are not hearing a click from the starter at all, it sounds like a circuit problem.
you could even check the relay first, there should be continuity between pins 1 and 2, and no continuity between 3 and 5. If you apply battery voltage across 1 and 2, you should hear a click and get continuity between 3 and 5
