I dunno, but that supports MuddPigg's theory
Well... it starts, and runs, if even for a few seconds so it would seem the grounds to the engine block and head... without which the starter wouldn't crank, the injectors wouldn't fire and the sparkplugs wouldn't light up... do work....
The ignitor is getting a signal from the distributor though to fire the plugs, but the ECU isn't getting the signal to calculate RPM, ignition advance and injector firing.

Hate to be hard headed but... what's the CEL code again?

I'm going outside to hug my 4runner.
