Need Toyota guru help please.

85.5 22re pickup. Starts after sitting a few days and runs a few minutes but dies and wonâ€™t restart.

Already replaced the afm, fuel filter, checked for vacuum leaks on intake and other lines.

Check engine code shows 2 and 8. Common denominator in both is a possible bad afm or ecu.

Any ideas? Anybody have a good ecu they want to loan before I buy one?

Thanks in advance.

Stick a screwdriver in the afm and hold it open and see if it stays running.

Figured it out. It was the ecu. Anybody have an ecu for a 85 yota. Tried a buddies out of an 85 4 runner and it ran like a top. His ecu was 89661-35020.

The bad ecu was apparently a reman and was missing the pertinent numbers.
