i have a 22-re and every time i go over 2,000 rpms at a steady speed, it starts running really funny and rough, i dont know much about about diagnosing problems and i need help

 

Have you pulled any codes from the computer yet?

 

i dont have any kind of diagnostic equipment, or the time to do so

 

I'll wager if you pull out your desk drawer and rummage around in there you will find a "scan tool"



and how to use it:

Takes less than a minute to pull any stored codes.

 

no see thats just the thing, im only 20 and on my second yota, and im the only one in my family to drive an import

 

Seriously, all you need is a paper clip (a metal one is preferred) to jumper the diagnostic port and then at least one working eye ball to look at the check engine light flashes. The rest is just counting the flashes.

 

ok, i did not know that, ill have to do that tomorrow when its not raining here, thanx

 

i pulled 5, 7, and 12, for the trouble codes

 

#5 Is the O2 Sensor
#7 Is the TPS Throttle Position Sensor
#12 Is the knock sensor


Ok These are easily replaced, Also you should check the wires for damage first. The O2 Sensor is screwed into the exhaust manufold. The Knock sensor is below the intake manifold, The TPS is attached to the side of the throttle body.

 

found out the knock sensor was missing the tps has a bad connector but still works and the 02 sensor got replaced

 

That's good.

 

hows it runnin now?

 

better... but after some time of sitting it developed a miss, fixed that, now it runs eraticly while stayin a constant rpm, and lopes at idle

 

Dump some fuel system cleaner in the tank when you fuel up. Use that tank then change the fuel filter. Check distributor cap for carbon marks and good connections. Is the rotor good? Check wires with ohm reader end to end, reading should be under 1 ohm if not change wires. Check fuel pressure should be around 65psi roughly. Hope this helps.

 

i found out its the maf sensor thats causin my problem now... now either i need to find a good one that works right used, or somehow manage to get 180 bucks saved up to buy a new one
