The fuel pump can be activated with out starting the car by jumping Fp and B+ in the diagnostic block behind the battery with the ignition switch in the on position not cranking. You should hear the whoosh of fuel at the pressure regulator in the rail. I don't know where he sprayed the starter...

If the repair estimate seems high, you could look for an exact sticker match copy on eBay for typically under $200.

Test the relay for function. I've had these go bad in the past. I carry a spare. Toyota part number 90987-02004-83. It's a common relay. They are under $10 at the dealer. Make your purchase online though, it's usually cheaper than walking in to make a purchase.

Is a cranking over? Check the battery voltage and clean the terminal connections as well as the ground connection at the block. Cold battery voltage should be about 12.6 which will increase to about 14 after it starts. You can bypass the fuel pump relay by jumping Fp and B+ in the diagnostic...

+After cleaning this you should notice an improvement in cooling. This is a classic example of debris getting sucked up between the AC condenser and the front of the cooling radiator.

Do you ever find any coolant drips on the ground? Take a flashlight and check around all connections. Using sheet of toilet paper can be useful in hard to get to places like the back of the head to heater valve. I had a drip coming from the idle air valve coolant pass through. Luckily I had a...

Also check the drive shaft U joints. Online manual reference.

Describe the situations of the clunk. Sounds can come from many sources. I thought I had a bad wheel bearing, which turned out to be the spherical bushing in the rear knuckle. I replaced both sides. Sometimes ring gear backlash can make a sound.

I answered this question on the Supra forums as well. The 2 wiring harness ground bundles go on the right. Clean them up with a bit of fine sandpaper first. Rotate the fuel line support bracket and bolt it to the left. You can see the outline of it where it has been since the car was made.

The weird sounds to the far right could be something rubbing against the blower squirrel cage. I've only had problems with the heater valve vacuum actuator in the past. You can check its function by looking before and after turning it on that the shaft moves up and you feel heat. The valve...

Giving the fan blade a quick push clockwise, it shouldn't turn more than 1/3 turn. When a fan clutch goes bad, it starts slinging tiny drops of oil that end up on other belts. Things that can affect your cooling include the thermostat, radiator cap, and fan belt tension. Take a peek between...
