The 1986 Toyota pickup distributor functions as a key component in the ignition system, coordinating the timing of the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders. It houses a rotor that spins, directing the electrical current from the ignition coil to the appropriate cylinder's spark plug via ignition wires. The distributor is driven by the engine's camshaft, ensuring that spark timing is synchronized with the engine's rotation. Additionally, it may incorporate a vacuum advance mechanism to optimize ignition timing based on engine load and speed.
no it has to be on accessories or on
Check fuses and relay if you have one.
If both blinker and hazards dont work check your flasher switch.
The tach works off of the distributor.
Yes, GST is a distributor of Toyota/Scion which includes 5 states. I work for Joe Myers Toyota in Houston Tx 12th in the nation. 3rd in GST
No, the coil is in the cap on a HEI distributor also there will be 6 pickup elements instead of 8
most likely the fuse is blown
Without this, your distributor won't work. Without your distributor... :( Go to your distributor. On the outside of it you should see a plug with harness (?) feeding into the distributor. This is the beginning of your pickup coil "assembly". Take off your distributor cap. You'll see that "harness"/assembly feeds into the very top of your distributor, held by a "molded" grommet (on mine), then, it "coils" around the top and you'll see that it feeds (or plugs into) into some part of the distributor (again, you can only see this when your distributor cap is off). I'm basing all of this on my 84 CJ7. I have no clue if all distributors are the same. Good luck.
http://www.lcengineering.com this place sells egr block plates for your pickup. They work great I have them on my truck. Off road use only ;-)
There are so many variables at work here that i don't think anyone could tell you.
A340E is the transmission for the 86.5 thru 92 Toyota supra. I think its still in production in a different Toyota model
I would use 10w30 and for high mileage 10w40 would work best
