Im new in the toyota world. HELP
I bought a 1989 Toyota pickup 2wd with the 22r for $750. When I purchased the old girl, she was spitting and sputtering. The previous owner was frustrated with it he had put a new Ignition module, plugs, wire, cap and rotor on it. I drove it 6 miles home. I checked the timing and the distributor was off one tooth, now it she will purr and be in time for 30 seconds and then the timing becomes erratic -10 to +10. any advice would be greatly appreciated. still missing bad except for the 30 seconds of happiness. Thanks all

I thought originally it was timing. it still may be. i have not checked the sprocket yet but I took some carb cleaner and sprayed some of the jets and it stabilized a little. it still has no power and still idles rough. I considered rebuilding the carb, but i can see that not ending well.

I recently bought an 89 as well. I had similar problems. I ended up just desmogging and going with the weber carb. I also had to replace the timing chain and it's related components. Now it runs awesome. Here is a great thread that may help you: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f114...torial-264405/
