Thanks Steve for the prompt reply. Your solutions noted were valid ones however as it turns out I found my problem to be something a bit different. Wow, who would have thought. Unbeknown to me my wife had gone out and made a new replacement key for our 2005 4Runner. Yes, as you can guess it's was NOT a "Smart Key" from the Toyota Dealership. Once the original key was used, it started right up.
Hope this helps out others with possibly the same issue down the road.

Thanks for posting your fix! Maybe my future responses to questions like this should be something like "Have you asked your wife about it?".
What is so hard about answering automotive questions over the internet is that all I can do is answer with the information that is given.
I'm so glad you have your vehicle fixed. Thanks again for using my website!
