1988 Toyota Van Repair Question
Mileage: 220,187 miles.
1988 Toyota Van Wagon Le motor stall 5 seconds after started
Answer
Our database does not have any testing procedureds for the ignitor. The uslau test is to check all others such as power upply etc and if all are good and you do not have sparks, the ignitos is substituted to test.
When engine stalled, are you able to restart easily? Does keeping some accelerator pedal pressure keep the engine running?
when the van stalls and i try to restart it does the same thing it will start then stall after 5 seconds. Pressing the accelerator does nothing to help it run longer.
I believe it is not the ignotors fault, more likely a sensor fault.
Was any repairs carried out prior to this occurring?
Have the ground circuit connections checked.
Have you tried to retrieve for trouble codes?

The above link should be helpful.
ok so I checked everything in the dist.like coil, cap,volts ect..one more time and this time i decided to check the air gap on the pick-up coil and found out that it is damaged and one of the wires was frayed.but when it was tested it showed 160 ohms which is in range. So im going to replace it and see how it acts. Is there anything else i should know?
The wires fraying would not affect the ohm reading. Only any damage to the coil itself would have any effect.
So far you are doing things correctly so after replacement of parts we shall see how it goes.
