hello new here. i recently bought a 93 toyota truck. runs fine except im having a small issue. i have never messed with a toyota so they are new to me. have worked on diesels all my life. it runs fine except when you first start it up and drive off it seems to only have half its power. i have basically just done a tune up on it ngk platniums new wires and rotor and cap and fuel filter.
i have checked for vacuum leaks with the propane torch didn't find any.
dealer changed the hg timing belt was done. i did notice the bung for the o2 sensor has rusted out and has a leak unsure if that's a issue its a small one. any help on this would be greatly appreciated thanks

Good luck with your new toy. I just got one as well (same year and leaky 3.0). Do you have any pics to add? I'll be following this thread with some interest as I have a few leaks, vacuum woes, CEL on and such.

Cheers.

no cel does seem to be worse when its raining normally clears up after a mile or so of driving. noticed today when i drove through a water puddle it started acting up again. not sure if it has anything to do with it or not. did have a crack in the intake tubing at the throttle body taped it up for now see if that helped any

what is the proper method to check fuel pressure

Fix this correctly... Those tubes are notorious for cracking, and WILL cause the rig to run funky. The leak in the bung hole wont help either, but is prolly not the main culprit. Running funky after hitting water, either plug wires are toast, or you distributor cap and rotor need to be replaced, possibly coil or igniter too.
