Pull the ECU codes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many stored ECU faults don't light up the "check engine" light, my guess is that you have a defective cold start injector system problem not an oxygen sensor as the o2 sensors job does not begin until the engine reaches closed loop mode which is after about 10 minutes of running.
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:

www.efisakh.narod.ru/at_toyota.htm
www.usatransdoctor.com/foreigntoyota.htm

Any public library in your area would have the Factory service manual,Haynes,Chiltons,Mitchells and Toyota repair books.
There is also free AutoZone service manuals at:

Finally there is a free aftermarket 1995 4-Runner (22R-E and 3VZE) service manual at:

www.net-impress.com/4runner/cd

For scanned pages of factory service manuals for other engines:

As for a specific free service manual download for 1990 4-Runner I don't know of any sites but the other free service manual downloads should be the same,for the mean time try using or downloading the free EPC (electronic parts catalog) that Toyota dealerships use around the world.

Here are places to download the Toyota EPC catalog:

www.yankeetoys.org/docs.htm
www.supracentral.com/oldschool/htm/epc.htm
www.showmesome.info/hilux/info/download_links.htm

For version 1/2002 the passwords are:
Europe 02052311; General 02032511; U.S.A. 02022608; Japan 02071608

Here's the codes for the 01/2002 disks:
Europe 02022004
General 02022212
U.S.A. 02022608
Japan 01121209

There is a Russian Toyota dealership that has the EPC online to be viewed:

I copied Todd E's posting from about 2 months ago that he posted at:

www.t4x4pickup.com/dgroup/index.html:


"There is a newer version of the EPC available for download.Similar in size to the older version (254MB and 220MB zipped files)
I have them on my personal FTP server (not always running), and they are also on another FTP server.

Address and login for mine:
151.203.109.45 Port 21
Login: t4x4pickup
Password: t4x4pickup

Address and login for the other (usually running 24/7)
ftp.lawvision.net
User: upload
Pass: upload

Apparently they cover 1988 and up vehicles (I haven't unzipped mine yet).

Feel free to upload and download on mine.

Enjoy!
