My guess is that you would want to use the ECM from the '91 on the '91 engine.
I'd double check all the wiring as well, make sure nothing changed between the years. The signals the sensors send and the pins they go to may fluctuate slightly with model years... but that's mostly a guess.

some ideas
A couple simple items that you probably got already. these are some items I ran into when I swapped a 92 for a 93.
1. Check that all the throttle body vaccuum lines are connected or plugged. This could be your air leak.
2. When I set mine up I used the distributor that matched the engine I was putting in the 4runner, just to be sure everything worked out. The shafts are quite. Also, you have probably used a timing gun to check your timing, but before I used the gun, my distibutor was off a tooth. The engine would run/cough for 20 seconds then die. I spend a day looking for a massive vaccuum leak.
Good luck. Just so you are aware,your timing belt tensioner system will be a little different. Buy belts and water pumps for the appropriate year engine.
