Topic: Lost spark and have no clue

[bugle4m]

I was charging up my battery to my 1985 toy 4runner that has a 1992 22re 4 cylinder in it , but it would not start I thought something went hen SH_T with the battery so I changed batteries with a good one and now have no spark. I know what your thinking, it ran before and now it dosn't he didn't hook something up right, well that is not it. I swithched my coil igniter on to my buddies truck to see if it would start his truck and it fired it right up, went over every fuse and connection 10 times, still no spark, my question is if something was screwed up with the battery while it was charging could the charger some how burn the brain to the computer of something else. The rig was running down the road perfect the day before and everything else in the rig works fine.

does it do anything at all, crank over or is it just nothing when you turn the key?

[bugle4m [OP]]

No it cranks over just fine, I was wondering also, what are the odds the magnetic senser pickup in the distributer went out, in my opinion something just went out all of a sudden for no reason at all, or it has something to do with charging up a battery that may have been shorted out inside if thats possible and it burned something out in the electrical end. Thanks for helping

if the pickup coil went out it  wouldnt  start thats for sure, but i personally have never seen one go out

[bugle4m [OP]]

I have been told the same thing

my pickup coil just went out about a year and a half ago. it was like 150$ to get one from toyota. also a while ago i was going down the road and my truck died. i pulled off the distributor cap and somehow the metal on the rotor separated from the plastic.

[bugle4m [OP]]

yea I checked that everything under the cap looks fine, but thanks

where are you located??  you can find  them things in any 22R  22RE  all the same pickup coil

20R  is the same as well,  might have a different plug  but  its the same

[84pickup]

did you check the resistance of the pickup generator? and the air gap

[bugle4m [OP]]

No I have not checked the resisteance yet, I think I'm just going to pull my buddies out and see what happens, Thanks again all, I'm still at it and will let you know if the problem gets solved.

Pretty sure your rig is pi**ed at you for not using it enough this winter, you let her sit in the yard long enough, she might have decided to just stay there

[bugle4m [OP]]

I feel the same way,

Is it getting fuel?  Also compression?
