I Finally swapped the battery and intake last night and changed to a cone filter. After I was done I started it up and the beast shut down about 20 seconds later, rechecked everything and tried again. This time I took it for a test drive and my results are check engine light, creeping, sputtering, and sounds like a slight backfire out of the afm.
The only thing I can think of since its so close to the intake now that i need to move the internals of the afm a tooth. But in all the write up about this swap it says nothing about a check engine light or havingto mess with the afm internals.

i'm just gonna go down the list here:

-is this a 22r-e?
-is the afm pointing the right way?
-did you cut and splice any wiring?
-did you re-connect all the vacuum lines?
-did you move any of the spark plug wires?
-did you get the check-engine code?

KBar

1.yes
2.I'm pretty sure theres only one way
3.yes the 7 wires for the afm
4.never touched any
5.no
6.yesterday before doing this swap the truck was running perfect excep for minor coolant leak

I've read your batt intake swap intake about 3 times before I decided to tackle this swap

yeah, it's not too bad if you have all the stuff beforehand

all right, 2 things:
1) re-trace your splices, and make sure all the wires are correct. i've messed wiring up before, and it brings teh suck
2) do you have a check-engine light right now? if so, do this (p 170-172):

Cool I'll try that at lunch, I never uderstood how to check for codes on my 4runner mostly because its never thrown a code lol

KBar

its throwing code 27 which is sub o2 sensor, Any ideas?

make sure the o2 sensor plug/s is/are clean. i had mine short out in a rain storm once.

also try pulling the efi fuse for a good minute or two, then plug it back in. sometimes that'll clear any codes that might have been tripped while moving wiring around

KBar

But why would that code show up after the swap. It seems like its not getting enough air, and i think the sub o2 is for like california emmisions

i live in maryland and have a california-emissions truck. just check to make sure, and definitely pull out the efi fuse for a bit

KBar

I think im gonna start calling this truck murphy's law

Yup 2 wires were wrong I ran out of one of the colors so they were the same color and after I triple checked them, kicked the hell out of the tire, threw the old air box across the yard. I walked back out to the truck 3 hrs later and was like "Damn these two wires are wrong".

side note- I noticed the little boost in power almost instantaneous.
