Engine Performance problem
1992 Toyota Pickup 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

Ever since my truck overheated, it will eventually start after 10 or more tries. Then when I slown down or start to take off, it dies. It turns over but won't start. Why did it start this and what could be the problem?

It turns over but won't start-Cranks and will not start, do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 in away from ground have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM,Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors and computer. Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
