Loss of power when you first acelerate
Not sure what itnighters are, sorry.
You seem to be describing a flat spot - a hesitation during initial acceleration that is commonly caused by either insufficient spark power or the fuel system being slow to adjust to the new requirements.
A backfire is an explosion in the exhaust system and I wonder if you really meant a spit-back (through the intake), which is common with a fuelling caused flat spot?
Replacing the spark plugs is merely half the job and testing the spark power is the other half...
I suggest you check the fuel pressures and pressure regulator function and the injector spray patterns. Only if all tests good it could be worth testing the oxygen sensor...
When doing an Evac of the AC system where do you
any charge port will evac the system
the compressor will not be running
adding oil is not necessary as there is enough in the replacement compressor
run the vacuum pump for a couple of hours and then lock of the system to see it it holds vacuum
No power to fuel pump.
if power to fuel pump --was pump tested for short or proper operation --sounds like the pump is gone according to description and testing that was done
My 1996 toyota tacoma will not start. have battery power. no turnover when turning the key to start
If you are absolutely certain that the battery is ok and charged, check the cables for tightness and corrosion - particularly the black earth cable where it attaches to the engine block/bodywork. Undo the bolts slightly and retighten ..
Before you try anything, can you get a neighbour or friend to boost start/jump start your car?
If it starts ok .. that tells you the starter motor is ok .. and the problem lies with your battery/leads
