Hi all,
Sad sad day for me and the 22re. After replacing my HG I noticed a huge use of gas for the short distance I went. The truck seems to be running rich and lacks the power it had after the rebuild 200 miles ago. (Yes the head gasket failed on the rebuild that quick. The head bolts came loose.)

Here is what I did do after the HG replacement

I noticed a Code 5 and unplugged and repluged in the wire to the distributer cap. Rest EFI fuse and the code did not persist.

Then I saw a Code 6 (Ox Sensor) but decided to adjust everything first.

1. Warmed Engine
2. Jumped Te and E1 (Or what ever the number and letters are)
3. Set idle to 750 rpm
4. Set Timing to 5 BTDC
5. Set the TPS
6. Rechecked idle and Timing.

After adjustment no Codes were thrown.

What could be causing the truck to run rich and loose power?

Next thing I would think would be 02 sensor...

btw, Can I see some pics of your truck, I used to have a truck exactly like it.. (see sig)

PDX_1ton

Is there a way to test the O2 sensor. Some picts coming up.

scuba

Yes, But your going to have to do some diggin in here to find the fsm for your year and the specs for the sensor..

Sorry about that quick response, my old truck came to mind though...
Ouch much?

Picts as promised. Pulling a 11,000 pound trailer from Oregon to St. Louis. Didn't know it weighed that much until we arrived.

Over heating as we crossed over Utah to Wyoming. I used a box fan and an inverter to cool down the engine. Took about 5 minutes to return to a normal temp.

Power washing out the truck before the trip.

that must have been a SLOW ride 11k behind an 22re hope you had good trailer breaks!

I doubt he even got going fast enough to need trailer brakes

sweet little 2wd

hah, wearing the same pants in both pics..?



Nice little truck though, I do miss mine...
I need to not drink

I was thankful it was the 1-ton. Stock is beefy brakes. Going up hill was slow, but on the flats it was easy to keep 60-65 miles per hour. Just slow getting up to speed.

Scuba.. sorry about your truck. It is easy to get attached to them. Mine was given to me by my dad. He bought it new off the lot.

In that situation the gears of the 1ton is where it counted, speed wise

Oh oh, I spy a yota van (2nd gen sienna) in pic 2...


Can anyone tell im bored..?

the pics went showing up when i posted, that 11,000 lbs must have been gross combined vehicle weight? what did you have in that trailer? a load of lead?

in this pic i was at 14,500 gross - the 6800lbs my truck weights empty would be about a 7700lb load



i was at 21000 gross in this picture witch would make for an 14200lb load including the wave runner in the bed

the most i ever towed with the toyota was an 20ft trailer with an datsun 280zx on it without a motor or trans that i would guess was about an 4000lb load and it was all my truck could do to maintain 45 mph up an hill

PDX_1ton

Yes the 11,000# was gross weight. Still very shocking.

Anybody else want to chime in on why I could be running rich?

best bet is the 02 sensor, when mine went it was brutal. It smelt sooo bad and ran like poop. Got a new one, wasnt much better but oh well. Then i did my timing chain, and acutally put the timing back where it was suppose to be and now it runs amazing...

Ezrider_92356

sorry for getting off topic
i agree with the others about the 02 sensor could also be the tempature sensor

iamsuperbleeder

you should have just zip-tied or bungied that thing to the front of the truck and carried on

desconhecido

I love it. A $20 electric fan conversion.

iamsuperbleeder

that's probably what I would have done in that situation, lol, I don't like sitting around on the side of the road

but it only took him 5 mins to cool it down; it probably would have taken me 45 min just to set it up

PDX_1ton

Thank you to everyone. Yes it was the O2 sensor. The old one was caked in a white powder. At first I didn't see any results. I pulled the EFI fuse for about 30 seconds to reset the computer. Upon the next start up she flew down the street. It actually was a bit shocking.

PDX_1ton

Oh I thought about it, but the hood did not close far enough to see when driving.
