just finished pulling engine. no machine work, just all gaskets and seal, valve adjustment. put it all back together and it ran fine. timed it, it was at 12 deg. i left it there. had it running for a while yesterday on and off while adjusting idle, bleeding ps, and filling coolant. all went well. last time i had it running yesterday it died itself. it was late, i didnt think anytthing of it, so i stopped for the night. well i went to take it to get the exhuast finished from dt headers back. went down the street a couple hundred yards and all the sudden it seemed like it was chugging for gas. it died, and wont start back up.. help, its sitting in fron of strangers house down the street a couple blocks. im gonna get it towed home tonight. or if you guys come up with something easy to check ill drive my other yota down to give it hell.

thank you thank you thank you, please help

well i have to o2 sensor code im sure becasue i dont even have it installed yet. so i didnt check the codes. that wouldnt make this situation occur???? that woudl be the smart thing i guess. i havnt done this in forever. can you reference me to a page real fast. i should pull the positive wire off the battery to reset it first, right? then check??

I guess the obvious question would be, what led you to rebuild the engine to begin with? Was it running fine before the rebuild?
Have you checked the fuel filter and verified proper fuel pressure at the engine?
