Did you put the paperclip in the E1 and TE1 connectors when you adjusted this? If not, then your timing is way too low. If so, what does it read after you remove the jumper. The 3-4* is what it should read with the paperclip in, it should read much higher (8-14*) after you remove the paperclip.
To adjust the timing you make a short across E1 and TE1 on the diagnostic connector, then adjust timing to 3-4*, remove the short, recheck (NOT adjust) to see of you get between 8 and 14*.

Ok, cool. If you did the adjusting with the paperclip in, then you should be in the ballpark without it. If you want to get a little more out of that 1FZE, you could bump the timing up to about 6-8* with the paperclip in to net closer to a 14* final timing which is definatly safe with that motor. Just get back to us with your final timing so we can see how things turned out.
Ouch, way low. Take out your EFI fuse for a minute and replace, drive the truck for a while (50ish miles), and recheck. If it is still below 10* w/o paperclip, put the paperclip back in and adjust your base up 1 degree more than you lack til 10*(if you're at 9* w/o paperclip, bump the base up 2*).
10-14* is a pretty good setting for the 1FZE.
You can rush the "reset period" by driving for short distances with the engine shutting off and being restarted between the short trips, idling will "flaw" the reset.

Sunny California, lucky. Already dark and the seasons are definatly changing already over here in North Carolina. Good luck on this, sorry to cause more trouble, but it's definatly better to get the best out of your rig than let it dissapoint you.
