    2005 sequoia was running fine then one day the fuel pump stops working and the brakes lock up replaced rack and pinion and fuel pump x2 with oem and aftermarket, brakes unlocked after 4hrs but will not start no fuel getting to the fuel rail replaced fuel pump relay MAF, fuel pump, and half a dozen other things

    any body got any ideas

    Brakes, no frigging clue. Normally if someone is reporting lots of bizarre, unrelated electronic things happening it's because water has gotten into the in-dash fusebox (common), or something is melted under the engine bay fuse/relay box (far less common).

    For no-start related to fuel, have you seen the fuel circuit in these Tundras/Sequioas? Just so you understand which non-fuel-related sensors are required to make fuel come on (crank position sensor comes to mind). Likewise, you DO understand, the fuel pump DOES NOT turn on with the key in the ON position, right? The ECU only starts to send a signal to to the relay, energizing the fuel pump power, when the key is in the START position, i.e. it's cranking. This is a super important detail a lot of people miss.

    But before we go any farther than that, have you tested the pins at the starter relay to ensure you have hot there?

    If YES, you do have a hot lead there, what happens if you remove the relay and complete the circuit at the relay plug? Does the fuel pump kick up and run?
