sorry guys computer has been down as well this has been a awesome week... ok so i jumped the e1 to the te1 and i didnt have paper with me but i counted 1 small pause 4.... big pause 2 small pause either 4 or 5? so i shut if off to go grab either my camara to take a video and paper and i turned it to the on possition.. nothing no engine light came on at all. then i went and pulled the lil jump wire out and put it back in and then turned it on and the engine light went on but stayed on.. so i sat and waited nothing then the relays with vacuum lines going to it right next to the diagnostic plug they started clicking like crazy. now the truck will not start or give me a code no more??

diagnose and resolve any issue you have now with your current engine. Then you can take your time reading all the 3.4 swap write ups and figure out if its for you. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f160/

yea i need to fix this one.. my uncle was going to sell or i should say give me his truck for 500 bucks but i did research on it its my daily driver i thought it would take longer to do the motor swap so i told him to try to turn it into his insurance company and get as much money as he can because he is getting a brand new 4 runner fully loaded so i told him im not buying it which is good insurance gave him alot of money for his truck.. this is my daily driver i need it up and running asap thanks guys

Do you have a volt meter? Swapping plugs isn't going to fix this problem. Either you're losing voltage to the ECU or the ECU's taking a dive. S'why you're going to need a volt meter.

no i dont have a volt meter.. so if the ecu is going to crap on me it would be makin the truck run rough and not coordinating fuel air mixture properly? oh boy fun. so how much would one cost any thoughts?

The ECU fuse is the EFI fuse. And, then there's the relay. If you're getting power to those, and power is getting past them to the ECU (which can be verified with a meter), and then to the ECU, yet the ECU is doing what you're describing, then the ECU's taken a dump. The only other way I can think to verify voltage to the ECU is putting a test light at the ECU voltage terminal and ground on the harness connector where it connects at the ECU. I'll get you a diagram later. Quite possibly you've just blown the relay......which there's a testing procedure for, but....again....you'll need a meter.
Is there any way you can get your hands on a multimeter that has ohm and volt function? Maybe borrow one or buy one. They're not terribly expensive. Anywhere from $12-$30 depending on where you go and who makes it.
