About half of the ECU codes stored on the first & second generation EFI
Toyotas don't show a constant blinking check engine light therefore you
must pull the ECU codes to see if a fault is registered.

To pull the ECU codes:

All 1980-1995 and including 1995 EFI equipped vehicle allow you to find
engine and related faults by pulling the ECU (computer) codes without
the need for a handheld OBDII diagnosis scanner,the sites listed below
have the fault codes needed to pull the codes and the instructions on
how to do it:

Pulling the ECU codes is the first thing I do to diagnosis a problem
thereafter I reset the ECU to see if the same problems show up and if
so I then take voltage measurements both with the engine running and
not and compare with the factory service manual,I also close the
ignition switch after a cold engine and also after a warm engine and
compare them with the factory service manual.This technique will
completely isolate your problem without having to do trial and error
and it is the technique I use when repairing tv's,vcr's,home/car audio.

Any Public Library in your area would have the Factory service
manual,Haynes,Chiltons,Mitchells,Clymers,Bentley and Toyota repair
books.

1)buy a used one off e-bay
2)some Toyota dealerships may give you one or sell it for $10-20 (used)
as most Toyota dealerships don't repair many old Toyotas and no longer
need the service manual
3)some public libraries sell their old books as they are not in demand
any longer
4)some free buy & sell classified papers,websites and bulletin boards
may have some used ones for sale
5)some junk yards may have one laying around
6)some Toyota specialty garages may have one laying around and no
longer use it as the vehicle may be too old and those mechanics
probably have so much experience that they could publish their own
factory service manual with corrections and "real world repair tips"
7)if someone has the FSM maybe they could scan all of the pages and
post it on a site for all of us to download or view.
