Need Help
Hi all, I have a 1992 Toyota pickup with a 1993 3.0VZE and recently did a whole lot of work to it. New head gaskets, injectors, timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, distributor, wires, ignition control module, and all new gaskets and seals. Now it barely starts and when it does it idles super rough and very, very low RPM. When you give it any gas at all it immediately kills the engine. I have continuity in wires from igniter to ECU. I also have checked for vacuum leeks and haven't found any. Now I'm running out of ideas on what to do. Any suggestions or help at all would be much appreciated.

Ever get this figured out?
Could be a whole bunch of things, but if you can get a hold of a FSM, there is a diagnostic troubleshooting tree in there. Been a while since I saw it, but I remember its there.

Sounds like your timing belt is off a tooth or the distributor isn't timed right.
Don't trust the timing marks on the harmonic balancer, it can separate at the rubber joining the inner and outer portions and let the mark move.
Also verify your firing order is correct, crossed plug wires can cause this too.
