My Toyota 4 Runner, 4 cylinder just stopped running. It will stay started if I hold the key on, but dies when I let go. I replaced the ignition, but it didn't help. Any ideas?

If it runs with the key in the start position and dies when you turn it to the run position, you need to have the PCM checked. The system is designed to provide more voltage to the ignition system on start up and then regulate it. It sounds like it is working when you're in the start position, but I be if you check, you will see that you lose spark when it goes to the run position.
