none yet, haven't had a chance to look at it, i go to work before dawn, and usually get home at dusk... where i'm livin i don't have a garage, so I'm thinkin over thanksgiving i'll look at it. Does anyone know the difference between 22RET and 22RE injectors and the compatibility between the two? I'm thinking of having my set of turbo injectors rebuilt and I'd like to know if they'd work on my 22RE.

New Symptom

Well the truck this morning showed a new symptom. It seems to stutter and jerk. It feels like its trying to go, but its being held back, then for a brief period it runs good, jerks forward, but then stutters. The power difference between the two feels about like what I was previously talking about, sometimes it has plenty of power, other times not so much. It never hopped back and for between these power modes before, but today it did. Any ideas, or are we still lookin at the same possible causes?

I've also noticed that it only sputters and acts weird like I described in the last post when it rains... I've had it in deep water, and it has never given any problems, however rain seems to cause the problem... any suggestions?

Check the plug going to the sending unit on the gas tank. I have read a few times of people having a problem with the sputtering like you mention and discovered that there was a problem with that connection getting water in it.
Also, this sounds exactly like the same problem someone else had on another board (Pirate4x4.com) and in their case the rain water was getting in through a bad windshield seal (I think that was the access point) and was allowing moisture to get into the plugs going into the ECU. They used CO2 to blow the moisture out of the contacts and it corrected the problem. Obviously, you would still need to find the source of the moisture getting into the cab.
Good luck!

Ok, I found the solution to the most recent probkem, spark plug wire. Apparently it had come out of its loom and had wore a hold in it. So that fixed the sputtering problem... On my trip for Thanksgiving I'm going to check the fuel mileage and see if that helped. From what I can tell, I think I still have teh fuel mileage problem, and a lacking power problem... I'll post what I find out.
