    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    I have not taken this out. Located by the left side kick panel under the dash. I’ve attached another picture that shows the notorious wiring signs.

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    I took this out out last night. It was not connected into the ignition. I assume it had been previously disconnected. It was connected to the + terminal on the battery and grounded.

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    Thank you sir, @SmokingRocks. I would like to apologize. I am out I’m the field farming and trying to respond on my phone which I am apparently not very skilled at. I’m am still learning how to use this forum as well. I have checked your steps 1-6 of the spark branch and they have passed. I...

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    Thank you @SmokingRocks! Once again, incredible info and help. I replaced the ignition coil with an OEM Toyota part and I have an igniter and fusible link on the way. I’ve double checked all the fuses and relays. I haven’t probed around the ECM too much bc I know how fragile those things can be...

    This is the chart in the FSM that I was following and referring to.

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    I forgot to say that everything has checked out per the FSM until I reached the step telling me to check the ECM.

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    Updates: 1) NGK plugs and wires now installed 2) Denso cap and rotor installed I am following the ON-Vehicle inspection Spark test per the FSM. Since we have last spoken, The coil came in. I installed it and still no spark. Thinking I may return and purchase an igniter to see if that gets me...

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    I have no spark going to the plug wires. I had a friend here today, so I was able to verify.

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    @SmokingRocks I followed the directions given. I eliminated the steps per the FSM. However, when checking the resistance of the ignition coil, I got a reading of 1.5 on the primary. The FSM states that it should be .36-.55 cold. The secondary resistance checked within range at 12.55 cold. The...

    @SmokingRocks Ok, I am throwing a code 12. Knock sensor?

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    @SmokingRocks 1) I checked the spark plug wires and they are placed correctly 2) I have found no vacuum leaks. I inspected all the hoses I could find and found that all were supple and intact. 3) I checked the fuel pump relay carefully per the FSM. It checks out fine with ohmmeter. I did not...

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    this is what I’ve done so far. 1) I removed and triple checked the air intake hose for any cracks 2) I have cleaned the TB. I triple checked all vacuum hoses going to the TB.

    Idle trouble and loss of power 80s series

    Ok, let me establish a few things before we go too far. 1) the truck was running poorly before I ever touched it. It would idle rough and have loss of power until I took it down the road a bit. Never had any indicator lights pop up on the dash. 2) I changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor. This...
