Turns out the issue was that the previous mechanic installed my fuel filter backwards. I found this out after checking into the fuel filter when it occurred to me that my fuel pressure suddenly dropping with throttle was a sign of starvation, as noted by several members here. I swapped the...

...And that is why I came back here. I feel like I have started "throwing money at the problem" and I know that doesn't solve anything efficiently. I have done further diagnostics of other parts, my apologies for not including here, but it has been many weeks and I didn't think it necessary to...

UPDATE The truck still does not run right, and I have replaced a number of other parts since the last post. This chase is driving me crazy, and I don't know what to do next.. Replaced alternator, NO DIFFERENCE Brand new Denso fuel pump, NO DIFFERENCE New high pressure fuel line Charged...

UPDATE The truck is now running like normal. I warmed it up and drove to the gas station down the street (very hilly street). I got it up to 70mph, floored it a couple times, put the most load on the motor possible, etc. and it did not cut out. Here's what I did... While warming up, I...

Fuel Pressure Spec (sorry mods, if you don't allow FSM data to be posted here-- then please remove)

Progress has been made! STARTING PROBLEM: Solved Thanks, Grumpin! You got me thinking last night about the battery terminals, and I was able to solve the starting issue that started after plugging in the later-gen, newer igniter. I did the following work: Replaced 80amp fuse Replaced...

I had the battery tested at Autozone over lunch, and the battery tested out fine. ..... This means that by plugging in the newer (spare) ICM (ignition control module) / igniter I had, something must have shorted out. What's odd is I was able to get the truck to start fine last night by...

UPDATE I jumped the truck off of another running vehicle, and it fired right up. Let it idle for about 5 minutes, turned it off. Battery was immediately flat, starter just clicked and battery power faded to nothing. Possibly bad alternator? Bad battery? I will get the battery tested tomorrow...

I have plugged in my battery charger to the battery, and it is charging. Hoping that I just had a weak battery. I also noticed that when I plug in the battery terminals, that I can hear a humming for a few seconds. Fuel pump? Or something ele? Or, doesn't mattter? I took out the ECU and it...

Had a REALLY dumb moment just now... I swapped my ICM (igniter, ignition control module) with my spare and someting shorted out, and now the truck will not crank over at all. When I put the key in, there is very low power to everything. The spare ICM had a different model # and different wire...

Well, after a long and strenuous ordeal with the mechanic and Toyota dealership, I ended up getting the truck back and it wasn't leaking tons of oil anymore. I don't have a definitive reason as to why. The head gasket was replaced, rislone oil / shit treatment was run through the motor, and...

So I do have a timing light, and I actually ran it on all 4 plug wires (independently, one at a time) and made the motor cut out. It kept flashing on all four, during the motor cutting out.

1986 4Runner, 22RE 4-wd 5-speed, EFI Hey guys, I was driving to work one morning, accelerating a little harder than normal, and my engine cut out while I was giving it gas. It drove fine the rest of the way to work. Later that day, the motor would cut out under a load, and gradually got...

Bad_Vision, I felt the half-moon when I got the truck, felt dry. After replacement, half-moon was still dry. If it was a cracked head / block, would there be any other symptoms? How would I go about detection? Here are some options I thought about: OPTIONS Sell the truck :( Let 'em keep...
