22RE code 41 and 42, rough idle

Yeah, the engine will surely die as the fuel pump will shut off as well as the ECU can not gauge the air intake and properly adjust the injector duration (amount of fuel). To test the VAF, you don't need the engine running.

Thanks Aaron, Do the checks tommorow at work, seemed so simple as something like fuel, but nothing is easy. Seems you follow one lead and get your mind set and it's hard to go another way.
I'll post some pics too.

My truck has been having the same problem, in vermont we have the winter thaw, so I was thinking I was getting bad gas. I've changed the fuel filter, cap and rotor and wire set, plugs too. It seems when I put injector cleaner in the problem seems to go away. It did it again on the way home from work tonight and maybe my TPS is going too. I just thought it could be a poor fuel issue.
You're probably AFU with the AFM ATM... lol. Once that spring comes loose, you'll be hard pressed to get everything back together.

I have the VAF completely dissasembled and don't think the repair can be made. The metal band is made of hard steel and the holder is plastic. Only thing I can think of is to drill a pinhole and set a small jewels screw. Just not enough material to work with and think it will only break somewhere down the road. Since this is a sealed unit, I doubt Toyota would sell the $5 part needed to fix it. If you know some Joe that would have a used VAF for a good price, by all means send me the contact info. Thanks.

whoops, missed your reply.
I don't know anyone in your area with one. There is a wrecking yard up in Rancho Cordova, California that has a lot of toy parts and they may have one and will ship to you https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f123.../#post50716916
I think I gave you this link for an ECU....

So you think my initial diagnosis could be correct of the poor fuel. Should I stop using the fuel injector cleaner altogether. Switch to isopropyl alchohol and run the tests on the vam and tps, should solve the problem, hopefully!

I'd say use the driers/alcohol for a few tanks, then if the problem doesn't go away with a full (and I mean FULL tank) start looking at other things, like testing the TPS etc.

Should give you something to work with.

For those interested, here is a picture of the coil and AFM shaft lock that broke.

The sad thing is that the spring is set in such a way that if it fails, it just pulls out of the housings. It would've been nice if it had say, a 90 kink in the end of it.

Uh, if it didn't break they would never get to sell the replacements for $800 would they? I agree. There ought to be a hook or even better metal to metal contact. Not sure why they chose to use plastic around the shaft either. Metal would have been better.

Yeah, I suppose, but if they made it a bit better... by spending that extra 12 cents to fold an angle into that spring... then they could've raised the cost of the trucks a grand at least, no?

Hey guys....intentional, yet short lived hijack here....sorry, Aaron.
During my rebuild (22re) I lost the dipstick. I had one for a V6, so cut it long enough and stuck it in. Well, I'm at the 500mi marker for the first oil change on break in. I'd go by the amount of oil to mark my "new" stick, but I'm on unlevel ground.
Would one of you guys get me the measurements for the dipstick? From tip to top, from tip to low level, and tip to full?

Abe's comment about a 90 degree angle got my wheels in gear. Flipped the plastic piece over and bent the coil over. Seems to retain tension over the full swing across the resistor pad. Temporary, but might get my daughter and I to Bruster's for an ice-cream tomorrow night!

Two pics of the dipstick lying on a tape measure.

Tip of dipstick at 2"
Low mark at 2-5/8"
Full mark at 3-1/4"
Top of stick (grommet) at 16-3/8"
Total depth (grommet to end of stick) is 14-3/8"

from tip of stick to 'low': 3/8 inch
from tip of stick to 'high': 1 5/8 inch
from tip of stick to dipstick 'stopper': 14 1/4 inch
yikes... big differences....
