FIXED:
Cause was the injector harness for injectors 2 and 4. On my 87 22re injectors 2 and 4 are controlled by a white wire and blue wire. Injectors 1 and 3 are controlled by white/red stripe and yellow wires. Each set of wires (2 blue and 2 white) are spliced to a single wire of the color about 18" back on the wire harness. I found that the blue wire 2-1 splice had broken so a a bit of solder, shrink wrap and electrical tape later I have a 4runner that purrs along. Thanks to all who gave ideas. Very glad to have my truck back again!

 

And thanks to the guy that fixed your broken center bolts too right.

 

mine does the same thing except i can red line it in neutral and it does fine but as soon as i put a load on it, it surges at about 2500-3000 rpm and wont go any higher any ideas?

P.S. if you block off the EGR valve going into the intake it runs like a champ wihich led me to believe it was a faulty EGR but i replaced that and it still does it

 

I would check the usual things first. TPS and AFM. Sounds like it might be the tps since I think that is what accounts for load on the engine.

 

I had the same thing on my 88. I don't like how they wired the injectors on the pre 88's.

 

Well done!!! As much as I love these rigs it always kills me when, after weeks of chasing potential problems, you find something as simple as a bad wire. With me it was 3 months of crap only to find out it was a leaking intake gasket.

Good job!
