So my 93 270k mile 1fz is giving me an issue I haven't had much luck identifying or finding much similar info on the forums. I have gone through the troubleshooting steps in the fsm to the best of my knowledge and still no resolve. so occasionally when I am cranking the engine it almost sounds like it skips a beat with a strange "weep, weep" sound. I can just keep cranking and it'll start after a couple more seconds. I know the code 12 is no rpm signal to the ecu in the first 2 seconds of cranking. Also of note, once she fires up she runs perfect without any issues. Most everything has been baselined on the truck over the last few years and here's what I've done so far for troubleshooting.
Ohmed out wires from distributor to the ecu: no resistance on any of the 4 wires.
Ohmed pickups on distributor and all were within specs and checked gapping also within spec.
Installed spare distributor and had the same issue
Tried a spare ecu and had the same issue.
Most other ignition components were replaced in the last 6 months(plugs, wires, cap and rotor, new fusible link, rebuilt the starter, all oem parts).
I only have 2 possible trains of thought left
Ignition switch(although rpm signal doesn't seem to run through that at all but may have to do with the starter losing voltage or something)
It has an aftermarket remote starter installed and the factory security system I removed years ago.
Thanks for any help
