How did you time it?
Distributor pickup coils are fairly common on these older trucks.
What other symptoms are there?
One of the coils is not working and the other is design to shut off after reaching temp . Check both coils when first starting to locate the faulty coil
I had to replace the magnetic pick-up sensor on the side of the distributor that tells the coil when to fire on my 86 truck. It was $80 and slips onto the distributor held on by the cap.
You could have got a motor from a non running vehicle. Did you use the distributor and coil from the donor vehicle, or did you transfer your distributor and coil to the used engine you bought? Check to make sure you have power going to the distributor and coil first. If you have fuel getting to the cylinders, and ignition voltage, going to the coil, you might have a problem with the distributor system. Those engines are notorious for this problem More often or not, the ignition module failed. The pickup coil in the distributor has a high failure rate too.
You have problem with you timing or did you ever label all the high tension wire before you unplug it. it might be re arrange the firing sequence. 1342 firing order. And the timing position of the distributor were at original place.
ON A 4-CYL: 1-3-4-2 DISTRIBUTOR ROTATION-COUNTERCLOCKWISE / ON A V-6: W/DISTRIBUTOR (COUNTERCLOCKWISE): 1-2-3-4-5-6. SAME GOES FOR THE DISTRIBUTORLESS IGNITION!
At the cost of the igniter i recommend checking your pickup coil.( The 2 wire sensor in side of your distributor. The The igniter will not allow the coil to fire with out reference form the pickup coil. Coil has primary and secondary resistances. when the primary coil powers up and then pulses off, this cause a high voltage due to magnetic degeneration. Check the coils primary and secondary resitances along with the air gap in the pickup coil, and also check the resitances on the pickup coil. If i am right your igniter will be okay.Get a good manual for you truck, It will save you money down the road. Toyota does not have at test proseger for the ingiter.
Also check the wires in between the pickup coil and the igniter. I hope this helped.
