i have a 88 4runner the motor has a strance ticking noise i was wondering if the fuel injectors would make the noise cause it doesnt sound like a valve then the outher issuse is when i first get on the gas it has a stutter to it and last thing that has me some what stumped since im new to toyotas is when i rev it above 3000rpm when it idles down it trys to cut off i was wonder if anyone can give me any suggestion on this problems

 

i have a similar problem on my 22re i get a constant tick, i have no idea what it is. if i find out ill be sure to let you know

 

ok thanks whitenblu yota its really got me scratching my head im use to v8s so this is all new to me

 

Not sure on the 22R's, it's been a while since I've had one of those.. On the newer ones the solenoid (or the VSV's) for the carbon canister can make that annoying and sometimes quite loud ticking. It is independent of RPM and you'll notice it more when stopped.

Your second and third problems might be ignition related - check plugs and wires and coils etc.

constant tick is valves common on all vehicles!! could also be injectors however if you can hear it from the cab "Valves"

the issue with hesitation is usually due to induction there will be a slight hesitation since the Cyl has to draw the air in creating a vacuum if you want to reduce this hesitation you can use a high flow filter.
oil replacement for not too dusty situations.
as for your trying to stall but not it has to do with the electronic ignition and maybe a tune up would help just remember to use the specified plugs!!

 

so i did a full tune up plugs wires rotor button and cap and it still does that funny tryin to cut off stuff on me but on the good side i got the injector to quit knockin i put injector cleaner in the gas and it seemed up help alot

 

Might want to check the points.

 

the answer to my problem was that it was not really a problem, it is just a normal tick caused by my synthetic oil, no harm, but it went away with conventional oil. as for my stuttering, i installed an intake and completely eliminated that problem

 

does anyone kno if mine is throwing a 11 and 12 code what that means

 

so i found what my problem was it was my knock sensor got broke by the peps i got it from but now with the full tune up she runs like a champ now
