Need some tips/help in trouble shooting this thing
And
Finally managed to jump the system to bring the code into the dash
The check engine light comes and goes
So found the perfect time to do it.

But now what ? What is code 12 and what should I do ?
Thanks for anyone that answers

Not to be rude, but this is easily found with googling "Toyota OBD1 Codes". That said I'm nice and will tell you that code 12 is for missing engine speed signal, so something is wonky with your distributor. If you take your distributor cap off it'll probably look like copper spaghetti inside, that or your ignition coil is cracked. That's provided your wires, rotor & cap, and plugs aren't needing replaced anyway. If it's not having any other issues aside from flashing the code it's probably one of the more simple ones.
