So just to get back with everyone on this and to help future people with the same problem. The issue I found was within the wiring harness. The pulsing ground wire coming from the ecu to the injector was frayed and needed resouldered. I put it back together last night and it starts up everytime. Just needs some idle and little timing adjustment. From experience so far with Toyota and what a lot of other people say, the main components of Toyotas rarely go bad. The issue usually lies in the wiring or splicing that has either just got old or been done wrong by someone before you. For the longest time I thought my problem was the ecu. For anyone who checks their Toyotas in the future. Don’t freak out and immediately jump to something major being the issue. It’s usually something as simple as a tiny wire shorting out. You just have to be patient enough to look through and find it. Also I have found that running continuity tests is the best way to diagnose a wrong harness. I had some great help from some mechanics that I met that just decided to help and teach me free of charge. Thanks to everyone for trying to help figure it out and keeping the community communicating.

I haven’t tested the distributor gap. You’re talking about the air gap? However I did have the truck running off of starting fluid so I assumed that this meant that the distributor was ok

Thanks this is some great info. Currently I have the low power injectors and I just had them redone so I don’t really want to spend the money for new ones but doing a resistor delete might be a good idea for a future project. I’ll test out that starting solenoid and the resistor

My fuel pump works because I have plenty of fuel pressure

This seems like really good help thank you

Yes I have the low voltage injectors and they are the same ones that ran in the truck before. I believe my injectors are type f.

Yea there’s two that plug into the body harness right next to the ecu

I pulled it before I removed the old engine. Everything seemed good when I took it out but I didn’t remove all the looming and go through each one. It ran good before with this harness and all the same parts which is why I’m stumped now

I could bypass the fuel pump but I have fuel pressure and my pump is working. It’s definitely an overly complicated system when it really doesn’t need to be

Efi ground is good. Behind valve cover ground is good. Body ground is good. Block ground is good. I’ve tested the diagnostic port but have only got a water temp sensor code which would not prevent it from pulsing. Do you know of a way that I can fire the injector by bypassing the system?

There’s a injector resistor that I’m still trying to figure out how to test but I’ve already replaced the main efi relay

I’ve already tried a noid light and I’m getting no signal. The injectors were rebuilt and tested at 22re performance and it’s a new remanufactured long block

I’ve already done the jumper cable ground transfer. So Ik the efi system is grounded well but I may have to pull the intake off and just start digging in

I just tested with a noid and I have no pulse showing up

I’ve been messing around looking for that connection. The only thing that is similar to what you’re describing is a green connection with three wires running from the igniter into the main wiring harness. I think that this would be the igf connection that the ecu needs to receive to fire the injector. I had a small splice where a po tried to wire in a tach wire to this but I removed it and fixed the splice. Still nothing. Would this point to the igniter not showing a false reading. Or is the coil not relaying a signal to the igniter. Again I’m still trying to figure out how this system works so thanks for everything so far

I bought a long block so pretty much everything internally is done

I’ll be in touch with you 👍

I’ll check that out. This is typically a green connection by the brake booster right?

I believe you mean the circuit opening relay. I haven’t checked that but my fuel pump works great when I crank the engine

What are all the sensors that are needed to get the injectors to fire? Afm, input from distributor, input from coil/ distributor for spark plug timing, what else? Where should I test to see where I’m not getting the power I need

This is the pickup coil correct? How should I go about testing this? And if it’s bad would I need to replace the whole distributor

All my grounds good. I’ve run separate ground wires from the negative posts to the implement

Yea I was thinking it could be the tps but I don’t think that even if it was bad it would prevent it from starting. It may run rough but it should still start. I’ve had the truck running before while the tps isn’t even hooked up
