wire 88 4runner 22re help
 

we hAve one wire we can fined were it goes. right now the starters clicking but not turning. i dont know if this wire has to do with the problem or not. any help is good.
thanks

Not related to the starter, it looks like it is for one of the vacuum switching valves (VSVs), perhaps one you don't have like AC{

For the starter, see below:

Did you connect two separate wires to your starter? Doesn't look like a VSV connector to me. There's two wires to connect to the starter.

See item circled in red:

its crancking but not starting but we can push start it so it just mite be for the starter im going to go look. and whats the timing need to be set at on this truck i got it at 12 deg mark on the crank

that plug goes exactly where 4crawler's first pic indicates. his plug appears a little different; he has a white connection in line labeled with red marker. your black plug would go directly into the VSV where his white connector leads to.

if you had the vsv for a/c, it would be mounted in that empty threaded hole in your valve cover, right under the plug in your 2nd pic. it appears to be gone.

it also appears you're missing what looks like a white hex head with a spring under it, in 4crawlers pic. this is the idle up for the a/c, and would provide the vacuum lines for that vsv. have you had an intake change, or once have a/c and removed it, or possibly a harness change?

This is info from a '93 service manual, I don't know if it applies to your '88, but if so, your timing should be advanced to 10-plus degrees once you've gone through the following steps:

ADJUST IGNITION TIMING
(a) Using SST 09843–18020 (you can use a paper clip), connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC
(b) Check the idle speed. Idle speed: 750 rpm
(c) Using a timing light, check the ignition timing. Ignition timing: 5 degrees BTDC @ idle
(d) Loosen the hold–down bolt, and adjust by turning the distributor.
(e) Tighten the hold–down bolt, and recheck the ignition timing. Torque: 19 N–m (195 kgf–cm, 14 ft–lbf)
(f) Remove the SST 09843–18020 (or paper clip)
FURTHER CHECK IGNITION TIMING
Check that the ignition timing advances. Ignition timing: 10 – 14 degrees BTDC @ idle
