Engine Mechanical problem
2003 Other Toyota Models 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 43000 miles

I have an inherited '03 Tacoma that's waiting for probate/title to clear before I can get it registered. It was running fine, but I haven't driven/started it in about a month. When I tried to start it today, the engine won't turn over. Battery is fine, starter seems to be fine.

I'd know what to do it it had a carburetor, but for EFI, I don't have a clue. What's the save here? Thanks...

Thanks. With the carb cleaner sprayed in, the engine turns over once and then dies. Same thing happened several times in a row.
