94 V6 engine problem. HELP
I have a 94 excab 4x4. I was turning around in the road the other day and she just died never to crank back up! Had a friend come pull me in and it will start being pulled but it will not idle and it runs very rough! I have since changed the fuel filter plugs and wires. It will sometimes diesel after trying to start also. I am getting fire out of the coil but nothin from 3 of the plugs.( i stopped checking after 3) dist cap and rotor look ok. Any help??? Thanks!!

I assume you pulled the coil-distributor wire and got a spark to ground when cranking. I assume you did the same thing to three plug wires (or plugs), but got NO spark. I would do the same to the other three; if you have 3 plugs firing that could be enough to get it to start and run rough (really rough).
Then if 1/2 of your plugs are firing, the problem is in the plug wires or the distributor.
This will probably throw a code (checking for codes is always something you need to do, and it's easy), but if you can narrow the problem down to WHERE it is you're almost home.
(Incidentally, a jumped tooth on the timing belt will have nothing to do with a "no spark" situation.)

Actually, post #20 contains a link to a ToyotaNation thread ( http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/80...e-posting.html ) . Post #2 in that thread gives a detailed account of how to check codes & what each number means.
