Does Pull A Part test those parts for you? I’ve been nervous about buying electrical parts from salvage yards. With smaller electrical parts, I just go ahead and buy new, like switches, sensors, and ignition coils.
That is another one of the nice things about that Era of Toyota vehicles.. The alternators and starters are so easy to access.. I suppose the only somewhat challenging thing is where they put the EGR VSV solenoid (2.0l and 2.2l) on the back of the engine close to the firewall… If I had to replace those, I remounted them on the firewall 🙂
Cheers

No they do not, but you could stop at an Autozone or something and have them tested on the way home.

Unless they’ll let you return it, which the salvage yards here will not take back electrical parts, I don’t want to pay for an untested part and be stuck with it. I see that “No returns on electrical parts” sign and keep walking. I’ve gotten bad refurbished parts from AutoZone, but I was able to exchange for a good part. It was weird, bought a starter that turned, but no power at the throwout bearing. All spinny, but no starty. I just can’t afford to be out that money.
