I have a 84 4 runner with a 22r and its not starting turns over but won't fire getting spark and fuel to the Carb and help would be great thanks

Did it run while you owned it and then one day didn't start? Or has it never run while in your possession? Have you tried spraying carb cleaner down the air intake and then try starting it? If it does not try to start, you can likely eliminate fuel issues as the culprit.

Yea it ran when I got it running one day then went to go out wheeling with a buddy and all it would do is turn over I have gas in my Carb and the spark plugs are wet I think I've got it narrowed down to electrical issues

Is it getting air?

84runnerWa

Yea its getting air I had a buddy look at it and he was saying it sounded like the coil or the igniter

84runnerWa

Had my igniter tested and coil are good getting spark fuel and air back to a dead end

I think they just went through this a few weeks ago. Dizzy cap and rotor have to be new to work. Water vapor gets in there and inhibits spark. Spray some silicone spray on wires as well.

New cap rotor wired plugs coil still not firing inconsistent spark gas is going through the Carb but not making plugs wet

Timing

Team420

Have you done a compression test? If not...I would start there. If you have low/uneven compression... thats your problem. If compression turns out fine, at least you know you have a healthy motor....

Compression is good around 165 across and the timing lines up with tdc and marks this one is even stumping the mechanics at the shop I work at

Is the cam in time?

84runnerWa

From what the cam gear says unless someone else did it wrong the thing is it ran one day and the very next day went to go out and all it did was turn over

ojm3

I bet your camtiming has jumped

84runnerWa

Checked it out its timed right cause I retimed it and I still am only getting spark to the number one cylinder I have new plugs wires pick up coil new coil and igniter rotor cap still no start this is bad

Distributor?

Yep finally got the money for a new one started right up its crazy that it was throwing all the right numbers but no spark haha
