Get the stored codes from the ECM if there are any. If the cause is not obvious from the stored codes that caused the check-engine light, download the FSM for your truck from the sticky link at the top of this forum and go through the ignition troubleshooting.

Re: 90 4runner w\no spark

No code reader is necessary. Just need to short two terminals in the connector. See the description on page 4 of the folowing article:

See the other articles in the FAQ thread related to OBDI engines:

Download the Toyota FSM for more troubleshooting information.
