So I got a 1987 4runner sr5 with a 22re. I just checked for any codes and came up with a code 6... great now what do I do? RPM SIGNAL-NO SIGNAL TO ECU FROM DISTRIBUTOR ("Ne" OR "G") AFTER ENGINE HAS BEEN CRANKED
--DISTRIBUTOR/CIRCUIT

--STARTERSIGNAL CIRCUIT

--IGNITER/IGNITER CIRCUIT

--ECU
Ok I found this but my book does not have any info

 

 

first check all your fuses.

are you using the fsm?


that is the order you should check/test things in.

1--DISTRIBUTOR/CIRCUIT

2--STARTERSIGNAL CIRCUIT

3--IGNITER/IGNITER CIRCUIT

4--ECU

and what they mean by circuit is basically, the wires/relays etc.. connecting said part to the ecu/battery..

 

measure the pickup coils in the distributor with an ohm-meter. IIRC there are 4 wires and two pairs of pickups. you probably have a dead one which means you'll need another distributor.

 

basically, the ECU is getting told you're cranking the engine: "STA" signal from the ignition switch; but is not getting the proper signal telling it the engine is spinning.

Likely, the distributor pickup and wiring to the igniter are okay, else the igniter wouldn't get a signal to fire the plugs so it wouldn't start at all: the igniter is capable of running the engine if there's a fault between the igniter and ecu

the signal travels distributor > wire/plug > igniter > plug/wire/plug > ecu

I responded to your PM regarding a few things to check.

 

Ok lil update I just un did the connections cleaned everything thing I saw in the relay then reset the ecu and wahlah code 1 sweet then I gave it a bath!
