causes for the annoying code 25 & 26

Hi all,

for the past 2 - 3 months I've had this problem with my 95 4runner. Have checked and rechecked as well as replaced sensors to no avail. I've been searching the forums trying to figure out what may be the cause of these 2 codes popping up on me all the time and I've just about lost all hope. So here I am, again, with another request. To those of you that have had these 2 codes, could you possibly share what the culprit was and how you remedied it.

thanks............

25 and 26 can also be missfire codes , ck plugs, dist., wires and dist. for to much play. hope this helps.

the ground wires on the plenum could be loose.
coolant temp sensor.
oxygen sensor.
a wire end can become loose in the plug and not make contact.
debris lodged in the AFM.

use this info to test the AFM

RESISTANCE

Between terminals E1 and FC


measuring plate fully closed infinity

measuring plate other than closed zero

Between terminals VC and E2


always 200 - 400 ohms

Between terminals THA and E2


at -20C (-4F) 10 - 20 k ohms

at 0C (32F) 4 - 7 k ohms

at 20C (68F) 2 - 3 k ohms

at 40C (104F) 0.9 - 1.3 k ohms

at 60C (104F) 0.4 - 0.7 k ohms

Between terminals VS and E2


measuring plate fully closed 200 - 600 ohms

measuring plate fully open 20 - 1200 ohms

NOTE: Resistance between terminals E2 and VS will change in a wave pattern as the measuring plate slowly opens.

check the ohms in the injectors.
13.4 - 14.2 Ohms

check the wires, harness and connectors. make sure they are not damaged, burned, or eatin by a mouse.

I've changed everything concievably changeable and still no result. Ive tested the afm and its within spec but just in case, i'm trying to get a used one to swap it out. I've got a hunch that i've been runnin lean for a while because my fan has been engaging when when outside temp has not been that hot ;70+ (clutch was replaced w factory one).

one of you mentioned the distributor. how would that be a factor?

A worn distributor can put your timing off sufficiently to cause the code.

code 25 ..Air/fuel ratio lean malfunction..... probable cause..injector circuit, oxygrn sensor or circuit, ECM, fuel line pressure(injector blockage or leakage) ,air temp. sensor or circuit, air leak, air flow meter, air intake system, ignition system.

code 26..Air/fuel rich malfunction... probable cause...injector or injector circuit, coolant temp.sensor or circuit, airflow meter, oxygen sensor or circuit, cold start injector, ECM.
