first off this post is about a 93 toyota pickup,22re,5speed with no options.
ok this is how it started,my alternator went bad,so i went to autozone and got a new one,put it on and it was charging over 20volts,it fried my computer so bad that the ecu shorted and keep blowing the efi fuse,so i got a new ecu that fixed the blowing fuse and now its running again with the 2nd alternator,now its throwing me a code 24 and 31,code.24 is air temp sensor and 31 is means air flow meter,i am very mechanicly inclined but i cant seam to figure this out,it ran fine before this,now everytime i hit the gas it runs fine untill the pedal gets half way and then it cuts out untill i let off the pedal and goes back to idle and idles fine just kinda low,kinda acts like its not gitting enough gas, but i know it is cause if i try to floor it it goes to about 3500 rpm real fast but wont go any higher and when i let off it pops and backfires,i tried to see if the afm was completely bad by un pluging it while it was running and it dies right away,i plug it back on and it will idle fine.im lost,could it have fried the afm when it fried the ecu?i dont know what to do,i am allready down 370$ cause autozone wouldnt comp a new ecu even though it was fried due to the bad alternator they sold me.being that the ecu sent a code 31 and 24 for the afm probily means that i need a new one huh?or could it have that code and it be something completely different?any advise please!!!! -daniel
