I got a 87 toyota pickup 4x4 22r replace distributor cap rotor plugs wires ignitor and coil and it get sparks when it first turns over then stops getting spark need some help

 

Coil and igniter are new ??

Some of the Ignition parts can be down right junk.

Wires what brand wires ??

Has the engine ever started ??

You first have spark then it quits ??

Battery voltage to low ??

 

I got a 87 toyota pickup 22r that was my daily driver. On my way home from work it started to buck and loose power when I would push the clutch it it back fired super loud. So got home replaced the timing chain. Now wont start it has brand new spark plugs and wires got a new distributor cap and rotor new pick up coil new coil and ignitor it gets spark when the truck starts to turn over but then after a few cranks it stops getting spark

 

Did you test the ignitor and coil?

Also sounds like you may have a loose plug wire. You could try carefully squeezing the contacts to make them smaller and grab more. Or if you didn't already, buy Denso stuff for the whole ignition system- the OEM ignition is pretty flawless.

 

Its brand oem new ignitor and coil when I get time to work on Thursday planing on checking all the ground and wires to see if there are any loose conections

 

It sparks when you first turn it over then the spark stops and it turns over for a few seconds that's checking with the wire going from the coil to the distributor

 

That is indeed perplexing. Checking grounds and connections sounds like a great plan

Good luck & let us know what you find

 

Anyone know whats this is called i was looking on another thread and a guy had the same problem changed this out but didnt know what its called he just took it off a different truck he had

 

how much does the igniter cost you... and where did you buy it...?
Thanks.

 

I got it from Napa for 350 originally 600 but I got a buddy that works there but that wasn't the problem still trying to figure it out

 

...Thanks...God speed...!!!
