Final Answer. Dead/stuck open #4 injector. Will be replacing all 6 with OEM plus all the other bits and prices

Out the exhaust. You can see it puffing as one or more cylinder does not fire

I cranked the engine for the first time this weekend to see i could use an auto stethoscope to listen to #4 injector. Definitely not clicking like 1 thru 3. BUT, I’m now getting thick white smoke and no coolant in the reservoir so I popped the radiator cap and my nice and new Toyota red...

Ouch.

I ordered a smoke machine from Amazon and other than a slight wisp from the EGR cap, there are no apparent vac leaks. This leads mew to failed #4 injector. What should I test next?

this could be “WFYDWY80TW”. New OEM dizzy, plug wires and plugs put in. I had an o-ring leak and inner seal leak plus some broken insulator so I figured I’d just replace the whole system. Engine cranks, starts and then starts to stumble and I’m still getting strong gas odor and unburt...

Scanned just now and no codes thrown

For what it’s worth there was a broken piece of the rotor inside the dizzy

My 97 FZJ80 with 247K miles is my daily, and by now I think enough of you know it’s very well rehabed. I have documents showing HG replaced by Toyota of Monroe @ 176K so I know it’s been done once. Today on my way home from work, I stopped at a stop sign and noticed a very rough idle /...
