My vehicle is a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined but still learning; detailed responses would be greatly appreciated!
About a week ago I sprayed off my engine bay (engine not running) to clean it up. Right upon start up it idled rough and sputtered as if it had sucked up water. I figured out that water had gotten underneath the distributor cap and fixed that issue. But before I found the culprit I was pulling apart other things and unscrewed the screws of death that hold on the AFM harness and pulled it out slightly. I quickly realized my mistake and put it all back together and the truck ran fine afterwards. Few days later I'm going down the road and it hiccups cutting off the motor for a split second but comes back on and continues normal. The next day while driving it cuts off again but wont come back. Turns over but doesn't start. So far I've determined I am getting fuel by pulling off the low pressure line and turning it over to watch it spray fuel. I know I'm not getting spark because there is no arc from the plug to ground. So no spark is the issue. I've cleaned every electrical connection I can reach, thoroughly cleaned underneath dist. cap, replaced dist. rotor, ignition module and replaced fusible links. I pull off the black cover to the AFM and noticed the original contacts were bad or not touching. I re-solder and hook it all up but still not turning over. Should I buy a new/used AFM or continue looking for a different problem?
