I think i have a problem
Every time i start my truck it runs like crapola it sounds like it runs on 2 or 3 cylinders then after a minute or so it starts to run fine. It will die if i dont give it some gas when its running badly. I also noticed oil or something spraying out of the exhaust. If i hold a rag up to the tail pipe it will get a bunch of black spots on it. I am pretty new at working on cars and i hope its nothing major. I did a compression test and the first 2 cylinders were 110in and the last 2part were 90psi. I have a feeling you guys are going to say i have to rebuild it but I thought I would get some input anyways. Its a 20r and i have no idea how many miles are on it damm 5that digit odometer. Thanks

Sounds like your oil rings are cracked or failing, and compression rings are gone. probably a couple hundred dollar job considering the gaskets and if you find any other trouble.

perfect for you to learn "how to" .. think positive !!
pick yourself up a "builder" engine .. do lots of reading .. (we'll help ya here) , and build yourself an engine . You should be able to find a good builder for VERY cheep or free .. I myself tossed 4 away this year cuz after hanging onto them for years , I couldnt even give them away

If its a 4Runner, yes. All '86+ 4Runners are EFI. (U.S. market)
Carbs were in 4wd truck until '88 (last year) and '92 in 2wds.(U.S. market)
IMO, the OP should swap in a 22RE. more power, better mpg and would be killer in a 1st gen 4wd.

I would love to do a 22re swap but i probably dont have the skill for that. I need to get a 22r and rebuild it so i can learn how to work on my truck. I plan keeping it for a while.
