If the car hasn't been towed to a mechanic yet, borrow a code scanner from an auto parts shop (free) and check for codes (fairly easy). Then look 'em up online.
I'm guessing you might have a bad crankshaft or camshaft sensor, because they often fail hot.
It's possible you have a broken timing belt (inside engine front cover -- not the serpentine belt that you can see). If so, there are probably all kinds of weird codes.
And it's also possible the engine severely overheated and is now kaput -- but if the temp gauge rose only slightly and you didn't see steam or smell antifreeze, that's unlikely.

1992 4 runner 4 x 4, I think it is already passed 150,000 miles.the pistons and rings are lose and are leaking, the pressure probably low, try to use some oil treatment, I used Market America special oil treatment and got a very good result. you can set to 19 degrees and add some of those treatment see the result, this is cheapest way, just try it, because I can not test drive your car and check the engine pressure.
Please be sure go to MarketAmerica.com and check it first.

It could be the fuel filter. Check fuel pressure and volume.

You need to isolate the problem. If it starts when you spray carb cleaner into the throttle body while cranking then problem is in fuel system.(pump, pump relay, filter or fuse) If not, then look into ignition system. Use any manual to get specific testing instructions and do not buy anything till you verify by testing that you really need that part or it can get unnecessarily expensive.
If you need more info on anything, just ask, but at the point you are at, careful testing will tell you far more than anyone here can tell you.

Find the temperature sensor(usually around the thermostat housing)'disconnect connector and ground it with a test light. Observe the inside gauge. It should slowly go up. If so, change sensor. Do the same for the fuel gauge located on the fuel tank. If gauge move to fill as you groung the sending unit wire, change sending unit. Test the right wire. Ask for further assistance.
