85 4runner 22re fuel issues
#1
Hey guys. Here's the low down..
First off this problem started when the weather got super cold. She starts, runs good for about 4 seconds then idle drops drastically until it's sputtering and then it dies. Before this problem got really bad i could at least drive it but it would jerk real bad as if i was about to stall it.. Now it's un-driveable. I checked vacuum, no leaks anywhere i could find. I had replaced the fuel pump and filter prior to this problem as well. Upon changing my o2 sensor and replacing my plugs my o2 appeared shot and my plugs were gas soaked.. i lit my cylinders and sure enough got a nice mini explosion from each hole. i'm thinking she's getting way too much gas. Anyone else have this problem? I'm just curious if anyone has some suggestions on where i should check first. I'm gonna check my injectors when it warms up a bit outside but i've heard of people having difficulties with the egr? Any input would help. Thanks!

Now you say 22rec this is fuel injected.
All your plugs were wet ???
Have you checked the spark after it stalls .
it comes down to dirt holding the injectors open spraying gas into the cylinders. I could see one but all 4 seems hard to figure
Or you lose spark after it starts
What shape and kind of spark plug wires?? Time for new ones??
It seems you have been having problems for awhile the cold only made it worse.
How low do you run your fuel tank picking up a lot of moisture??

All my plugs were wet, Haven't checked right after it stalls but i still have spark after it stalls. Plug wires are new ngk's. Never really noticed the problem until the first cold day and i try to fill my tank up everytime it's at half. I'm trying to locate the egr, i think that may be the problem.

In the very top right hand corner of the pic below. The pipe with the 90 degree elbow is your EGR. I make a little plate that goes inbetween the plenum and that pipe I just mentioned to block off the EGR. Ignore the rest of the picture, it was the quickest one available.
Not sure what would keep all injectors open. I would also suspect the Cold Start Injector.
I remember helping a someone on here and they had something similar. Coming off of your coil is 2 or maybe 3 Green Plugs. One of his wasnt hooked up after rebuild of his motor and got same results. He said his would start, but fuel was rich and run you out of the shop because of the raw gas.

My cold start injector is good. Not stuck or anything and i'll have to have a peak at my egr. thanks for the pic. I'll also double check all lines again and wires. However i've been getting closer to thinking it has something to do with the top end of my motor. I guess i'll find out seeing as how i'm rebuilding it this week.
