No start Ive asked several people about this problem some of which are professional mechs and it just baffles me that the dealership cant even help me. SO! Heres the problem Ive got a 94 toyota pickup 4cyl 5spd 4x4. When I bought it it needed a new head gasket, new front gaskets and a new timing cover. I replaced all of these and go to start it and nothing, it just cranks. Turns out the fuel pump isnt running. So I follow all the wires and find that power going to it is cut some where behind the dash. So I jumped those two wires (the solid blue ones going to the pump) and now that works. I got to start it and it still...just cranks....So I checked an injector and it seemed fine and I left those alone cause I know its getting fuel cause Ive fouled the pluggs twice just from cranking it so much. It has spark cause Ive checked the plugs, the wires, and the coil. Still just cranks. found that when I put the head back on I neede to adjust the distributor timing so I did that ((was very carful as far as the timing goes on the cam and crankshaft in making sure I didnt so much as budge ither of those removing or instaling, when I removed the gear and chain from the head to replace the gasket)) and still...no...start. Im out of Ideas other than Im not getting enough compression some how or I havent managed to get the timing right on the distributor.

the crankshaft positioning sensor is built into the distributor I think so to test that would I jsut have some one crank it while I go at the wires with a test light? if yes what responce should I get from the light flash or solid? the egr valve doesnt apear to be a valve at all as in their doesnt seem to be any moving mechanical parts it looks like a tube with a space ship looking part with a couple vacum hoses attached if Im reading the same thing in the book and looking at the same thing on my engine, so how do I go about unsticking it? the crankshaft positioning sensor is built into the distributor I think so to test that would I jsut have some one crank it while I go at the wires with a test light? if yes what responce should I get from the light flash or solid? the egr valve doesnt apear to be a valve at all as in their doesnt seem to be any moving mechanical parts it looks like a tube with a space ship looking part with a couple vacum hoses attached if Im reading the same thing in the book and looking at the same thing on my engine, so how do I go about unsticking it?

EGR valve is good. ive had it for...sveral months now and its starting to get cold out so im going to take another stab at fixing it myself. But ive discovered that if I let the truck sit for say a week or so and try to start it, it will fire on the first couple of cranks and then go back to just cranking. MY thoughts are that when I jumped the wiring across the dash because of the no power problem with the fuel pump I msut have jumped some sort of control that monitors the the gas input on the EFI cause the only thing I can think of is that its pouring so much gas in their that it floods before it gets a chance to fully fire up cause it smells and sounds like its just pouring gas in their non stop.
