Sounds like a nice short list. I want to hear it running by 5:00!!!

 

problem: one or more of the cold start injector washers or bolt is bad. it looks like an old faithful of fuel in my engine bay. i'll also need to re-paint my intake chamber

 

Ian....i had alot of trouble getting that on. did you use new washers? i did not torque (don't know if there is a torque value for those or not)....be careful now!

 

see if this post helps

not new washers, but i will be now. i'll see if the parts store has them after dinner. it makes sense if they're copper crush-type washers. boulder dam

 

did you have trouble threading them like i did. that's what i meant in that post.

 

how did i miss this... grrrrr!

where did you get your washers?

 

nope. it was snug, but it fit just fine. it's the washer issue that got me

 

Take the washers you have and lay a piece of sand paper(fine grit) on the flattest surface you can find and rub the washers on it until all the grooves in the washer are gone. I called and left you a message.

 

TOYOTA........cheap......order extras......i dropped a few before i put a "net" under the area.

i don't recall actually, but i believe (and I could be VERY wrong) they are ??hollow??......well, whatever.....i think they are like 79cents apiece.

 

it runs. and it runs well. i have a temporary fix on the cold start injectors, but those will vanish soon enough. i'll do timing tomorrow, along with burping the radiator.

now for a spin around the block!

 

well......in that case...... WAHOOOOOOOOO

 

aaand just got back from a li'l test run. runs fine with a few stutters (very few). also, i was waiting at a light, and the idle dropped to a tad below 500. i had to tap the gas to keep from stalling out, but after i turned around to head back, it was fine. huh, any ideas? i'm about to call it quits for the night, but i'll be back at it tomorrow

 

if you didn't set the timing yet....maybe it's that

 

probably. thanks.

now for some pics! (no labels as it's late and i'm tired. i'll put them on later)

 

Man, it must have been great to pull outta there running, eh? WOOT! Great job, man!

Far as the crush washers, ....one of them is copper and one is soft steel/tin/aluminum? hahaa. It's silver, I'll just say that. Far as my leaks, it was my damper. I did what RBX said and voila! Just used some emery actually, ...wasn't bad with impression, etc., so it worked fine. However, ...the CSI ones?/Yeah, I'd just get it, I did, and they were like 4$ each. The one with the tongue on it is a lil more, but both are like 7$ I think? With those fresh clean things in there, why not use new ones, eh? lol. (HOWEVER< ....that method probably would work fine on those, as well )

Have a nice night sleep, man, ...bet you're wiped out, eh?

PS> LOOKS GREAT, ..like that color scheme, ..it's AGGRESSIVE! grrr, lol.

 

like the empty bay pic.....I did the same thing.

good job bud.

 

Ian, your stutters could be the computer relearning a fuel map. If the ECM is unplugged for a while, the computer resets and returns to the base-map, then relearns as you drive more and more. And if the timing isn't set correctly, it may have a more difficult time learning.
Set your timing up, and reset the ECM(pull the fuse), then take her for a spin. Let her warm up good, then give her a good flogging. Make a few good shakedown runs, if something is going to break you want it to happen now....my guess is...nothing will break.
I also want to hear how those injectors feel now that they are balanced.

 

Congrats man, glad you got her done!!! Looks good. I'm at a stand still till i get some cash. Heads and block are done and awaiting p/u. Just waiting on some funds to clear. Have the rebuild kit on hand so its just a waiting game....

 

thanks mark. yeah, it's nice to know i have nothing left to do (or very little). it rides a lot higher than i remember, but then again, i have been driving an a55-dragger of a car (it's a nice little car, though it is tiny)
thanks. now i have to clean it up
ah-ha! i'm sure it'll get better once i do the timing, but that would make sense. thanks
so far, in between stutters, the engine runs smooth. and if the 22r-e wasn't famous for it's loud valve tap, i would call it quiet.
hang in there bud. take your time, take lots of pictures for personal reference, read the service manual, and take your time. yeah, i said it twice.


thank you to everyone who helped out (92, mark, brandon, peow, lumpy, rb, and the list goes on...)
i could not have done this as easily as i did were it not for your continued wealth of knowledge. it feels good knowing that i can now do any repair to the engine. take that, dealership! thank you all so much
