Electrical Problems

We have recently purchased a used 5FGC25 lift, upon giving it a good cleaning and tune up we found the electrical system to be a complete hack job. The lift ran fine when it was purchased and now has little to no spark, Coil pack tests fine (1.8-2.0 Ohms) plugs are gapped, timing is correct, fuses are good. Im assuming the brittle wiring and previous hack job is causing my problem. If any one can direct me towards a service manual or wiring diagram that would be very much appreciated.

I should mention I am not intending to score copyright material, I legitimately need appropriate documentation in order to trace out this issue. I have been in touch with Toyota and have had no luck in purchasing any information from them.

Trouble shooting would start with: Ground to the distributor? What kind of voltage drop are you getting? Verify your voltage supply? If you have both and they are good then you have an internal failure of the distributor. Most test will not show poor connections for the ignitor and pick up. You might get lucky by just cleaning them. Check air gap.008-.016in.

Ohm test not the best. Do you have a variable spark tester? It should fire 3/4 inch in the open air. If not, need a coil. They often fire internally accross themselves. Igniter could be bad, a rebuilt dist may be needed, but before replacing any parts, check wires to dist for breaks in shield, or opens
