So, I already wrote my whole post out for it not to post so I will keep this short and sweet. I really need help I have to move by the 10/26 and my rig needs to come as well.
Crank no start issue 1993 Toyota pickup 22re/1993 Winnebago Warrior.
Went from being reliable to randomly not starting one day, sat for a few weeks then started right up randomly, then shut off about 3 miles down the road, wouldn't start for a few minutes then started and got me too my destination. Since it has been sitting it has not started again, no fuel pump hum when I put the key in the run position, jumped B+ too FP and hear pressure in the rails and hum in the tank still would not start on jump. Checked EFI and it may be bad not sure if I could feel the click, swapped with headlight relay and still no start. Went to the auto parts store and was given a relay w the part number "T05 SH121" still not sure if I could feel the click with this relay in, but still no luck. Also tired headlight relay in EFI and new relay in headlights place and it seemed too function as without the headlight relay it it wouldn't crank before, but still no start. Jumped the diagnostic so I could get a engine code and the code I was given was '12'. Not sure what too do from here as I have little too no experience working on vehicles, should my next step be too check the circuit opening relay? Anyone who knows what their talking about that could help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You indicated that even with the fuel pump running, the vehicle doesn't start. Do me a favor. I need you to check the if the vehicle is getting spark. Here is a link that shows how to check for spark:

If there is no spark, follow these diagnostics to see if there is an issue within the distributor.

1. Disconnect the wiring connector near the distributor.
2. Connect one end of an ohmmeter to the G1 terminal at the distributor. Connect the other end to the G- terminal. G1 Pickup Coil Resistance:

Cold (14° - 122°F): 125 - 200 ohms
Hot (122° - 212°F): 160 - 235 ohms

3. Connect one end of an ohmmeter to the G2 terminal at the distributor. Connect the other end to the G- terminal. G2 Pickup Coil Resistance:

Cold (14° - 122°F): 125 - 200 ohms
Hot (122° - 212°F): 160 - 235 ohms

4. Connect one end of an ohmmeter to the NE terminal at the distributor. Connect the other end to the G- terminal. NE Pickup Coil Resistance:

Cold (14° - 122°F): 155 - 250 ohms
Hot (122° - 212°F): 190 - 290 ohms

5. Using a non-magnetic feeler gauge, measure the gap between the signal rotor and pickup coil projection.

G1 Air Gap: 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.008 - 0.020 in)
G2 Air Gap: 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.008 - 0.020 in)
NE Air Gap: 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.008 - 0.020 in)

NOTE: The air gap is not adjustable. If any of the above tests reveal a pick-up coil outside specifications, replace the distributor assembly.

I checked for spark and I did in face not have any. I then pulled the connector off the distributor and did the checks you listed. G- too G1 read 180 G2 too G- also read 180, but I was unable to get a reading for G- too NE. Should I pull the cap off and check the air gaps next or does the no reading from G- too NE tell me something? Thank you so much for helping really have no idea what I'm doing!

Hi,

If there was no resistance, chances are it needs replaced. However, check the air gap just to make sure it's appears good.

I have a feeling the pick-up coil needs replaced.

Let me know.
