Just got through completeing 22rte swap into the 88 runner and she will fire but won't stay running. Have not had a chance to do fuel pressure check yet but the pump is running. The truck sat for 3 years with no fuel in the system. The swap was taken out by me and installed by me. Now there were some wiring issues that I am still sorting out but as far as I know there should't be anything holding this thing back from running. I am getting code 23 which is intake air temp signal and also 28 which is 02 signal but like I said neither of these should give me any hurdles. Any help is greatly appreciated.


Ok updated flipped the distributor 180 degrees truck will now idle. The truck will not rev up past say 2k. I checked for vacuum leaks etc. I really think that I am missing something from the other truck. I have what appears to be a map sensor that I took off of the other truck has 3 wires from it and a vacuum line. The other truck is gone so I can't go back and check it. seems as if when the truck goes into boost than this would take over and that may be my problem.

this might sound dumb but... is the maf sensor plugged in?

Yeah its plugged in. I drove the doner into the shop to do the swap and my truck ran before i took it apart. However my truck was down for 3 years. I am gonna run a can of toyota fuel injector flush through it today and see if it runs off of that. Hell the pump may be bad or may even have some trash in the line. Any other ideas on this.

Still nothing will not even run off of a fuel injection can. Anybody, no takes on this. Does anybody have access to a turbo truck that they can snap some pics of some areas for me. left and right engine side of fenders and the firewall to verify all my stuff is hooked up correctly.


Come on guys I am ready to drive this beast. I am gonna make my 3inch down pipe and exhaust tonight so lets help me get this thing rollin

I did the swap from a 22re to a 22ret a few years ago. I just had issues with blowing head gaskets.

Just a thought for you: When you did the swap did you get the turbo computer from the turbo truck to replace you regular ecm? Also make sure you have no leaks from the turbo to the intake. It wont appear as a vacuum leak it will be more of a pressure leak especially under a little boost. If the air line from the turbo has a crack or small leak it will cause it to not run right. With the one I did, my turbo line came off under boost and the truck would barely idle and when you gave it any gas it would die.

This may help it may not.

92laser do you still want pics of the engine bay? I swapped a turbo 22RE in mine and everything is hooked up correctly. The only things I had to get from the donor truck other than the engine were the computer, airbox, airbox plumbing, and radiator. I can take some pictures if you'd like.
