welcome to red light hell.
http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/forum/ has heaps of info.
firstly is it a 2lt or 2lt-e ?
if 2lt-e you can pull up the fault codes easy enough.
otherwise redlight can mean just about anything. comman problems are tps faults, dash connection (really easy to bend the contacts when fitting the dash back), water in fuel filter etc. i would check fuel filter first.
on the 2lt it can sometimes be easier to disable the emmision gear then pull the red bulb out and throw it away.

the pulseing could well be the buterfly partly colseing on and off. simply disable it, plug the top vaccum hose on the acuator (make sure it the one that closes the butterfly). you will notice it a bit rougher to shut off.
also check if the EGR has been blocked off, not just disabled ie by a ball bearing in the hose. if you just disable it it can stick open causeing similar problems which is why its best to block it off.
also check the vacpipe off the manfold, the one that goes to the pump/boostsensor as they often crack and leak.
