Engine Mechanical problem
1989 Toyota 4Runner 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 169 th miles

Hello,
This engine ran before I changed bad head gaskets and install new fuel injectors. Problem is Engine will not start. The injector resistance tests ok 13.7 Ohms
Tested injector circuit with NOID TEST LIGHT - Test ok. Can hear injectors clicking while engine is being turned over. Engine will fire , I believe off of cold start injector and then die. At this point I'm out of ideas. Any help will be greatly Appreciated.

Hi there,

You will need an OBD 11 scanner with a Toyota interface, the ecu will hold set fault codes for any system that it controls, if one or more of these systems are out of parameter or not sending reference signals, you will get a dedicated fault code for that system.

Hi there, OK next is to check that the spark is good and hot and clean the plugs as if the engine is not firing and the fuel system is OK as it seams it is, the plugs will be rather fuel fouled by now and that will also be a problem, let me know what the plugs look like.

Hello mhpautos, I checked spark and it is strong. Spark plugs were damp. I had installed all new plugs from the begining. I found out something while experimenting, If I put a jumped across +B - Fp ,and pump the gas peddle after engine fires as it has in the past ,I can keep the engine running for a longer period of time, but still wont stay running. HAVE A GREAT WEEK END AND GOD BLESS IN JESUS NAME A=MEN!!! M.Genzano
