Some indicate that you must remove the intake manifold.
List your vehicle type, and engine type.

Need to remove the Air filter/a/f hose/ intake manifold, along with the injectors and rails, fuel line, return line, emmision hoses. it can be done as a unit with 2 people. It is quite heavy to lift out of the truck.I would also suggest replacing the intake manifold gaskets while your in there.
Quote from person who answered the question on tundrasolutions:
"Just wanted to thank you all again for the help. Everything went smoothly and replacing the contacts seemed to solve the problem. I still can't believe the starter was actually under there..." ( this person rebuilt the solenoid contacts).
Intake Manifold Gaskets (PN 1717150020)
QTY-2 @ $30 each (both sides identical)
Solenoid Contacts (PNs 2822650070 & 2822650080)
QTY-2 @ $8.43 each (different kit for each side)
There are two sizes of alternators used in the V8s (1.4kW & 2.0kW), but I believe the starter contacts are the same for both.

NO ONE, ESPECIALLY Toyota would be that stupid.
By the way, is a Tontra a new model I havn't heard of?
