I have a problem that i really need help with. After i have been driving for a while and my truck is quite warm, but not overheating,then i park it. when i go to start it again within about 15-20 min, it will not start, if it does it will chug along until it either dies or will make it and start running normally. Recently i drove to tahoe and it did great until the traffic was backed up and then it died, it started a few more times but kept on stalling until it would not start again. I popped the clutch and continued to drive it, but had to keep it moving otherwise it would stall. Please tell me what you think the problem may be, any help is greatly appreciated. thanks again. -aaron

 

My 87 runner with a 22re was doing the same thing and it turned out to be the fuel filter. so in your case that would be the frist thing i would check

 

Sounds like a good place to start with the fuel filter. If I recall, my friend has a 22re and the fuel filter is pretty hard to get to.


Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps you might want to check your air filter and the engine for vacuum leaks.

 

I am going to agree with the fuel problem. Fuel filter, fuel pump or the fuel pressure regulator (22RE) malfunction.

 

i just replaced the fuel filter and it feels as though it may still have the problem. any other suggestions? im thinking about replacing the o2 sensor. thanks- aaron

 

Did a little reading on some other sites concerning rough running 22REs, and people had different suggestions. Some suggestions were easy like checking your spark plug wires, spark plugs, pvc valve and air filter.

I also read that it could be a valve or timing issue, but it seems those two would be a problem even when the engine is cold.

Something else you might want to try is cleaning the throttle body. I did it on my 97 Tacoma and it was fairly easy. Should be even easier on yours.

 

thanks for the advice.. any idea on how to clean my throttle body, or where i can find the info, did some searchin but no luck. thanks aaron

Read this thread. It has a couple of links that should help out. The links are not for the 22RE, but is should be close enough to figure out what you need to do.
