Ok i am new on here and i just bought a 85 22re pickup, i bought it with the motor locked up well me and my dad got it cranking and the motor starts up but it wont keep running, we think its either, fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, or maybe even injectors, idk, but we were thinking about replacing the fuel filter first, but we dont know where its at. So can someone please tell me where the fuel filter is, it would make me very happy

 

under the intake manifold... passengers side.

 

ok yea i found it after a little searching, but anyways what do you guys think would be wrong with it based on my little description

 

Well what do you mean motor "locked up" I mean by that I could say it was hydro locked.

 

it had water in it, over the pistons but we got all that out and it cranks and starts right up but wont stay going

 

idle control screw could be mal-adjusted... Had that problem for awhile.

 

Which I believe is located on the top surface of the FI manifold, towards the front... atleast it is on an 89 22RE. Also check for vacuum leaks. This includes hoses AND mating gaskets.

 

i think the idle control screw is mal-adjusted cause i got it running but it wont idle at all

 

Then what are you doing on here still? GO FIX IT!

But seriously, keep us updated.

 

Well did you find the fix ?

 

my truck was doing the same thing and for a long time, i could not find out what was up, turns out the coil wire was bad. it took me a month to figure that out, they were new wires so i didnt think it could be them but it was

 

hmm well i havent had time to adjust the idle yet but if that dont work ill see about the coil wire

 

well i got it idled up it runs fine now, i just have an exhaust leak between the headers and down pipe so it sounds like an old tractor when its running

 

What ended up being the problem.???

 

idle screw wasnt adjusted right, fixed it and it runs pretty good i took her off roading today, she surprised me, i took her through some decent little climbs she handled him great i love that truck now i just need some pics for yall
