ok my 22re is going nuts and taking me with it. When im driving and stoped at a light she idles very badly wants to die, and i have to give it some gas to stay running. When im driving from the light in 1st gear she falls on her face no power no nothing. then i go to full skinny and it gets a lil worst but keeps going misses everything then at 3,200 to 3,500 rpms its like nothing ever happened all better.


i dont get this at all please help me its getting worse and worse everytime i drive it


everythings grounded and good NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT nothing

has 268 cam open air filter and thats about it was doing just fine 2 days ago now i cant even drive her

i tried unpluging the cold start injector and it did nothing please help me im ripping my hair out here!!!

 

ignitor?
duct tape leaking?

which whatever... try pulling your trouble codes and see what comes up.

 

ok how do i do that buddy and il go right now and do it

 

umm...
you don't know how to pull trouble codes?

 

what year is the runner again?
oh... 87... you should know how.

 

1987 you pop te1 and t1 right and turn key on and count the flashes?

 

t1?? or e1 i think its e1

 

you got it toyota!

 

Check TPS and AFM.

 

Check the distributor cap for cracks.

 

Plug wires??
Fuel filter??
Timing??
trouble codes??
Loose electrical connection???
Vacuum/Egr???
AFM(x2)??
TPS(x2)??

If multiple codes, try to resetting ECU then drive to see what is thrown.

 

If it's running that ty it probably has a stored code.

 

no codes!!

ill be checking the tps and afm at work tomorrow

 

Well this seems to happen to alot of people, hopefully it never happens to me. Wish I could help, maybe its your TPS..

 

im thinking my afm booties its a 280 buck part

 

Easy way to check TPS: UNPLUG IT!

 

and after hours on the phone with him....

there might be a problem with the spring in the AFM...
he remembers there was a problem before and it did the same thing....

oh, and there's a temp switch on the thermostat housing which has a connector that has corroded and the wire is connected just as well.

and...

and...

c'mon allan... norbert... albert? lol
but he likes chocolate.

 

damn man, that sucks, last time i saw her she was 99.9% metal and 00.1% wood block, but still runnin hella strong. id have to agree with abe, other than that it sounds like its flooding at low rpms, which then comes back to the afm, or the AFM boot. dont get it from toyota, go to a wrecking yard bro! im gonna hit one up next weekend and get me some lincoln towncar seats, (COMFY AS HELL), a right side fender, if they have one in good condition, and a e-brake assembly.

 

i had a similar problem before on my honda and it turned out to be faulty plug wires. easy way to check it is to check the resistance between the points with an ohm meter

 

im sure he has replaced the plug wires... thats the absolute first thing you check. the wires, plugs, and dist.
