Engine temp sensor! Not the one for the temp gauge, but the one to tell the ecu how much to enrich the fuel mixture.

check some more vac lines, are they in the right spots! Pull the plugs and check what sort of spark you have!

Try finding the diagnosis box in the engine bay I think its on one of the shock towers its a small grey box with a foldback lid. Connect terminals TE1 to E1 turn the ignition on and dont start the motor and with the aircon turned off. look at the engine light on the dash. It will flash a code for example 3 flashes then a space then 2 flashesthats code 32 . then it will flash another code, if it has a 2nd fault or repeat the first one. then look it up on the net.

Do what andrewph said. Throwing parts at it is hit or miss. Could be a dead injector, condensation killed the map sensor or a hole in the map sensor tube but I'm only speculating.

the lambda sensor on those are prone to failure, get a new one and hopefully alot of the problems will go away

Hello, currently the O/D light doesn't work and in the autos this flashes when you are checking for codes. I've checked the bulb on the dash, then check the switch on the shifter, broken, connected another shifter stork up to it, still no light!

Can anyone confirm this! Every toyota I have seen has a red check engine light which flashes.

Which temp sensor did you change! there are three on that engine one for the gauge in the dash one for the ECU and one to switch the fans on. If you changed all three then I'll let this one rest but I'm betting you only played with one of the three.

No the O/D light will only flash for fault codes in the auto trans. the engine light will flash for engine codes.
