"no power spits spudders back fires.."

 

Sounds like a timing issue to me.  I would take a break and then review the timing component settings when the normal frustration level has passed.

i have checked the timing twice rplaced all sensors under the hoof new plugs wires coil you name it i have probably replaced it im to the point i might as well crush it

Mass Airflow Sensor or related issue.

 

Got all the intake ports connected for PCV and IAC?

DON'T GIVE UP! Took me over a month to get mine running. Tons of head banging but you'll get it.

 

My maf was shot, and to test it I unplugged it and it ran better.

 

What all do you have done on it so far? Exhaust? Harness fully hooked up?

 

Where are you located?

I have a new mad sencor new exaust I have tried everything tried to go to pia in Tacoma they didn't really help me out at all I just keep getting the run around

Unfortunately, when you start to muck around this much with a car, 99% of places don't want to know about it. It's just too hard cos its not in a manual how to fix.

 

I've had a conversion crank, but not start for 6 months (EA82T replacing carb EA82) simply cos I had 1 wire plugged in wrong.

 

The sense of achievement when you finally solve this kind of problem & can drive it is amazing. I was out on country roads for what felt like 30 mins enjoying it. Risky considering unregistered and initially not even the dump pipe fitted
