TPS part deux
Well; after screwing around with timing and such I bit the bullet and replaced my TPS. God bless Roger Brown (4crawler). His step by step made it very easy. I cleaned stuff and replced a few suspect vac lines but the truck runs GREAT now. FYI I was getting a code 11 and my timing wouldn't adjust properly when I jumped the plug. $80 and a few hours.

un-real... this is the problem that lead to my RTE 4Runner not running, and me busting the windshield out in total frustration after the countless hours and troubleshooting work I did to it.
Glad you got yours...
Linky to part uno?

well of course I can't be THAT lucky...
Now I've got to drop the tank!(the gauge is flashing)
yay, oh happy day!
ok, back to my original problem.....
it will not time. T-E shorted, lets say it runs best at 30(3-0, thirty)deg BTDC. The closer I try and put it the worse off it gets till it stutters and stalls.

22RE Timing Issues! - YotaTech Forums
god...I've done so much IH8 to do anymore...even if it's just a little to see it through....
it's idled at 950 and sounded real good. but why would the TPS being bad make the time at 25°-30° BTDC?
Death toll to date:
Removed engine from donor
Removed engine from 4Runner
Got completely finished installing donor motor only to break off the #4 spark plug flush off in #4.
Spent weeks trying to get the piece out of the hole
Spent a week at a friends, a life long mechanic to remove...he couldn't
Brought 4Runner back home,
Removed engine.....
Drove engine 2hrs to another friends to remove...
Drove engine with damaged hole due to the removal 2hrs back home....
RE-installed motor in 4Runner...
Bad FP, so changed it.
Bad FP so took it back and got another
No fuel, so cleaned out the tube for the slosh tank
Finally get it to start and it won't idle so I can check the timing....
Gage lied to me so I removed FP to look, messed up fuel level sending unit...no prolly have to remove tank to replace
uh,....

No Part one really, that was just me troubleshooting then biting the bullet.
I am happy to report that I just ran through most of a tank and am now getting 21.5 MPG!! This is with mostly highway @ 70 miles per hour. I was getting about 15 before the TPS. The motor is much happier and I rarely have to downshift any more.The crappy gas around here is 10% ethanol so I think my mileage might be a bit higher but I am pleased overall.
My O2 sensor is the original(210K miles),maybe I should replace it for good measure?

If you have 210K miles on the 02 sensor, then its way over do and you need to replace it. When i got my 86 4Runner it had over 200.000 miles on it and i replaced the TPS and the 02 sensor, i figured with that many miles on them that it was just a matter of time before one or both went bad on me.
