Install a starter ignition bypass switch on Toyota Van?

I've tried everything known to man to solve an intermittent starting problem on my Toyota Van Wagon (new starter, new ground from battery, new cable from battery to starter) and it still wont start consistently. I've been told that a bypass switch allowing me to get a full battery current to my starter would solve the issue. How do I go about installing one and what do I buy?Install a starter ignition bypass switch on Toyota Van?assuming that you are actually saying that the engine is NOT turning over, but you are just getting an intermittent click when you turn the key, you need to install a Bosch-type relay that is activated by the small wire going to the ignition terminal on the starter, and it will get full voltage off of the main power wire on the starter and send it to the ignition terminal on the starter.



put a voltmeter on the ignition wire at the starter and have someone turn the key, if you are consistently getting less than 10.2 volts on that wire this is your problem and the relay will fix it.

connect your ignition wire to the #86 terminal, connect a ground to the #85 terminal, connect a jumper wire from the main battery terminal on the starter to the #30 terminal, and a jumper wire from the #87 output terminal to the ignition terminal on the starter.Install a starter ignition bypass switch on Toyota Van?HI

That's not going to work... I really think your confusing not starting with not turning over ... All the starter does is turn the motor over and has nothing to do with the ignition system. What the person I believe was trying to say was use a switch to get a full 12Volts to the coils for a hotter spark to start. not the starter itself. As most ignition DO use full 12 V to start but once they are running the coils are only supplied with about 9 volts to run with.

If the motor is turning over it is not the starter ..

good luck
