I do not recall toyota telling me whether it lost spark. After stalling the ca when trying to start the car the car does not crank. Only the dash board lights come on. After sitting for about 10 minutes the car will start up but runs rough.

Code 31 - MAP sensor signal. Is this code new or was there all along?
Was there any other codes previously?

The battery was installed in Jan 2012. At that time the battery cables were cleaned. And they appear to still be on tight.

When the engine stalled the engine does not even click. Nothing happens just the dashboard lights come on. After sitting for 10 minutes or so the car starts up.

This is a fault with the starting circuit and not a problem with battery.

It could be a faulty ignition switch, which explains the stalling. Do you have a DVOM or test light to perform testings?

No, I don't have any tools for testing. What would I be looking for if I borrowed one from someone?
