1989 22RE Pickup Relay Clicking and Stalling
Hi. I just found this site. What a great source of info.
I have a 22RE that we have been fixing up. It's been running good lately. Yesterday it started making a clicking noise under the dash and sometimes stalls out. This usually occurs after the pickup warms up. I dug around and found that the circuit opening relay is what is clicking. I have never heard it before. It starts to click alot and then the pickup sputters and stalls out. Any suggestions? Would this relay be bad? Thanks.

Test the circuit opening relay first:

If it tests good, test the EFI main relay:

Hey, thanks for the pages. Where do you get those at? Also I just checked the circuit opening relay. There is continuity where there should not be. So I will replace that first. Hopefully it clears this up.

So I replaced that relay. I did check the new one I bought and it read correctly.
The truck is still having some the issue. The relay is not clicking as bad. It is still wanting to die after it warms up. While driving it starts to cut out. I can put it in neutral and give it some gas and it runs ok for awhile. But then does the same thing. Anything else I can check out? Thanks.

I had a similar issue - mine wasn't dying when the RPMs were up, but more when getting close to idle. Turned out to be the idle adjustment screw - rubber o-ring failed and was allowing screw to spin on its own w/engine vibrations, making it somewhat random and hard to diagnose. When it would drop idle and get close to stalling out you would hear the relay start clicking. I just used Teflon plumbers tape on threads instead of oring fix.
So dunno if it'll help, but it's at least something to try. Good luck and welcome to YT!

check your dash pot on the throttle body. My 22re was doing the exact same thing. The dash pot was old and allowed the throttle to fall too far back triggering the tps which in turn triggers the relay to shut off.
