sorry guys, i been suuper busy, havent really had time to come on here. driving back from chico every weekend is wearing me out.
nice man, you get it running last weekend?
heres a little update.
empty engine bay
wiring
new harness
new engine
threw a little paint on it
cleaned most of the baked on mud off the header
engine bay cleaned and a little paint
wiring stripped
in with the new
old stuff
engine in
broke this in the process
also dropped a bolt in the bellhousing through the starter hole, so i had to unbolt the transmission and driveshaft and move it back a few inches just to get the bolt
thats where im at, lights, wipers, stereo, all that stuff works. turn the key, fuel pump, fuel gauge, gauge cluster lights work. but no crank. i still have to ground everything.
That's awesome that you got a hold of a 22re! 130,000 isnt too bad. Good luck with the build. I wish i had time to help, but i cant because i'm still working 40hrs a week. I'm having my crank reground, got new pistons, rings, new head from engnbldr. also getting new main and rod bearings and in a few weeks i should have my 22re finnished. A+ engine machine shop in Reno, is doing all the major work.
1. Engine Degrease
2. Magnaflux the block
3. Bore 0.020'' over & Hone
4. Regrind the crank
I'm just glad you went this route instead of doing what i did and went with a bad company like Attarco in Sac. Apparently my qoute on qoute "new engine" was merely just a used motor with a hone job and new head. My engine had cylinder bores were 0.012" over stock and the pistons were like 0.015" undersize from the stock specifications. So were in a race to get our engines put in. Lol
Nice engine Hoist by the way!

Play with your timing and see what happens. When my buddy and I threw a new 22RE in his rig, it was hard to start and was stuttering, had to play with the gas to keep it running. Full throttle was 1000 rpms 
Turns out his distributor was off by a tooth. Moved it over and it ran perfect. Truck is looking real good by the way!

It sounds like your right there though. let me know if working on it sunday? I hope to have mine up and running, as soon as i get my fuel injectors seals from Toyota. I think i might in a new ignition or ingnitor. By the way your weld job on my stupid flowmaster cracked.

Sputtering? I'd point to TPS first... Just MHO. Always check for codes first, after driving it around a bit..... Then test the 'FREE CHECKS' first, right? lol. ........>>>>> TPS, AFM, 02, CTS, Timing, Unmetered Air.... etc.
Best wishes, and GREAT JOB, HB!
