So, my 1990 sat in the garage at the weekend house for about a month, but of course ran fine when I parked it. When I tried to start it the battery was stone dead (not a big surprise after I discovered that it was seven years old), and apparently out of fuel. With fuel and a new battery still no start, so I did some obvious, simple and possibly overdue replacements: crank position sensor, distrib cap, rotor and plugs, 25 amp fuse on the front left fender wall. Still no dice.

So I went to test the codes. Zip. No codes. I get a dim light from the LED, but no code readout whatsoever regardless of which socket I connect with the lead.

Don't get a spark at plug #1 either, but haven't tested for fuel delivery.

So. Since no codes are generating should I suspect a dead ECM?

This car sits out in the country most of the time and is only driven at low speeds around town, usually pulling an 8-foot trailer, to maintain the property. I've had Bobo since he was new, but maybe time to replace with a base Tacoma?
