Same. Carry a spare CPS, TPS, Fusible Link and a can of WD40 (TPS and Dizzy can easily get wet).
Various tools and what not.

OK. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor but it still does not start. And it is still throwing the same code. I noticed that the receptor plug was blackened and looked to be bad as well. I did not get a picture but I think that portion of the system was also bad. How would I fix that or what is the part that I would order to fix that? Thanks again you guys. The only bad part is there is zero service where my rig is parked so I have to drive back to town to post anything or look anything up.
So thanks again for your help! You guys rock!

Starting point on the electical connector is to use an electronic cleaner like the following:
Spray liberally and use something like an old toothbrush to get into the nooks and crannies.
Robot or human?

You stated the error you were getting was for the Crank Position Sensor but in post #23 your showing a P0340 error which is the Camshaft Position Sensor which is an entirely different animal. That is part of the distributor. I would check the electrical connector for the distributor. After that it's time to pop the distributor cap and verify the cap and rotor are in good condition. Next verify the rotor turns while cranking the engine. Not turning, then pull the distributor and make sure the driven gear will spin the rotor. Beyond that you may need to remove the valve cover to verify the cams are rotating. The timing chain may have failed. A very infrequent failure but still possible. Maybe time to arrange for a tow.

That was my fault. I was going off what I remembered and I guess I remembered incorrectly. I ordered a new cap and rotor. And I think I am going to order this part too, if you think it's a good idea.

There is no service at my friend's where my rig is parked and he is an old man so he doesn't have internet. So whenever I go up there I have no access to ask questions.
Good point @akrugg!

Dangit! I broke my phone and didn't log on here.. Thank you very much for the offer. I wish I had remembered all my login information.. I got it now. I guess I rely too much on my phone for things.

I spoke with a local mechanic here in town. He was a Toyota master mechanic for 8 years and has worked on "tons" of these. So I am going to bite the bullet and have it towed into him. If it is going to cost too much I am gonna sit on her for another hyear or so and do an engine swap.. I have a new cap and rotor. So I will first put that on there and see if that might be it.. Probably not. But if it is I will be stoked! Any quick advice on the cap and rotor?

I've got oem parts!
Smart,
Cap and Rotor are two items that need to fit properly and last a long time. OEM is the way to go there.
