1993 Toyota 4runner won't start

Hello there.. I have a 1993 Toyota 4Runner and he has been feeling a bit off lately.
There has been a lack of power..to the point where I almost hafta pop it on 4low to get up steep (residential) hills!
I have been noticing a louder than normal, yet still rather faint clicking sound..coming from the driver side.
I came up here to the ski hill last night, and my truck made it just fine.
But this morning, I went to start my truck.. He turns over, over and over again.. But will not fire up!
Any ideas what my problem may be??

Thank you!

Megan

There's a lot of possibilities, start with the basics, when was the last time you did a major tune-up?
How many miles on it?
Have you checked for CEL error codes as Brian suggested?

Re: 1993 Toyota 4runner won't start

if yes i think you should make a diagnostic in a garage

Re: 1993 Toyota 4runner won't start

It seems it may be time to move on, I would not pour money into repairs at this point, the money would likely not make itself back on sale value. I would sell it to somewhere like fastcashforjunkcars.com. What condition is the car in other than that issue? How many miles? It may be worth fixing up to sell?

Diagnose it don't condemn it. Check your basics. Fuel, compression, spark.
