- In this episode my Buddy Shayne brings over his old 2WD Hilux with the legendary Toyota 22R. It won't say idling at all. With only tools and cleaner, can I troubleshoot this and get it running correctly without buying anything?

I had this same problem with my 87 Toyota 4x4 22R i was certain it was a carburetor problem, hard starts,rough idle after days of checking vacuum lines and adjusting the carburetor i decided to check my distributor cap and it had grime inside it from a bad cap seal, cleaned out the grime, replaced the rubber O ring and now its running like a swiss watch.
Great job. Small tings add up. You have experience working with this engine
So just needed a clean rotor n tune up. Cool! My initial guess was fuel filter...
I was thinking vacuum leak for sure 🤷♂️
Small update post video, I ended up sitting there for about 30 minutes in idle waiting and it stayed running, as well as on the way home. Picking up parts this weekend and will update from there.
An update from the man.. the myth.. the legend..
Cool thanks for the update but I’m curious if the problem came back and if so, what fix did u go with?! My 22R has the same issues however, there’s no resolution fix for me! - It still has a bad idle- I’m looking at the fuel systems area rn- thxu
@@JoseGarceeya no, in doing the tune up (plugs, wires, cap and rotor) it fixed it up. Plus running a little carb cleaner helped as well. Hope you can gets your fixed up!
Sounds like your EGR is starting yo get stuck open. Mine used to buck out of 1st gear. Did an EGR block off and no problems...
I've got an '86 22r with a similar issue. Pretty sure you need to clean or rebuild your carb.....or go with a genuine Weber. I plan to do the latter (previous owner tried new dist, wires, plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump, etc).
Weber 32/36 is for sure the best thing to do but this was a quick and cheap fix 👍
Whats the deal with the three nothed lever that changes everything after it warms up?
I can set my idle,air/fuel mixture on a fresh rebuilt carb an then after a few stiop lights, RPMs are in the 2k! I have to pull that 3 notched lever back down to get the idle correct an I even used a bread tie to make it stay. there but then, I smell it running rich and my mileage goes down the drain. Any avice here? Cause I know I cant alter the adjustments made initially or else I'll lose my initial propper idle at about 1k. Even the FSM makes no sense to me regarding this. Anything you can share here, most appreciated!
It sounds like maybe your choke it set too high? With the stock carb it's all vacuum controlled, plus the set screw. Could be an issue with either... Honestly, I would upgrade to the Weber 32/36 carb. They are so much easier to work on than the stock carbs and you'll get better power and fuel economy!
Check your fuse for the cig
I have a similar issue to this with my 1990 Toyota Pickup. Though, my truck will be able to idle after about 20 minutes of driving it.
A tune-up will do wonders!
Thanks 👍 will this be the same for a 87 Toyota Corolla ?
Probably would be pretty similar for any carburetor powered engines :) A basic tune up will always help!
If it's rough at start it could be Coolant blockage to ideal control more then likely have been the whole problem after he Rev it for a Lil blow blockage there videos on it
It was fully warmed up. After the tune up he's had no issues and has been driving it regularly
My 1992 toyota wont start cranks but no start .fuel pump wont shut off
I've got a carb question for you!! I've got a 22R which is running rough and stalls if you give it any gas at idle. If I put my hand over the throttle plates, it smooths out and you can rev up just fine. Any idea what I need to do?
I replaced the fuel filters with no change.
That's for sure a vacuum leak. The carb is getting too much air, so when you put your hand over it, then it gets less air. So I would check either vacuum lines/hoses and if not that. Then it could be one of the gaskets between the carb and the manifold 👍
@@DragonDriver5 below the manifold right?! It sits on top of the carburetor?!
@@chrisb3116 did you ever get er going?
@@JoseGarceeya Yes, the base plate gasket was leaking. I ended up replacing the carb as it was filled with crap. As soon as I replaced the carb and gaskets, it ran beautifully again.
Do you know the gas mileage on the truck? Looking to compare mine with the same model/year.
I'm not sure, it's my friends truck. Based off of similar trucks I've had in the past, I would estimate probably about 22-24mpg average for a 2wd, or around 18-20 average mpg for a 4x4. Hope that helps :)
My corolla Ae82 doesnt want to idle after putting manifold gasget i dont know if its my carburetor pipes or bad distributer cap
sounds like an air leak of some kind
When you set the valves last time?
It's my buddies truck, I haven't touched the valves, but might in a later video if needed
My 87 toyota pickup does this only when i turn on the AC
Strange! Never experienced that one before
What’s the gas mileage? Typical you think. Thanks
I'm not sure, it's my friends truck I was helping him with. The 2wd Toyotas usually do pretty good though from past experience
I got news for you , your grandkids will be running it way after you are gone, guarantee, those Toyotas were designed to outlast every car in the market, note, should you choose to accept you should consider put 205-75-14 tires, very possible that you may get near 29 MPG, I don't want you to believe me I dare you to prove me wrong.
Probably true, although this is my friend's truck. The old Toyotas do last forever!
Put the dog gone rotor back in it.
Haha it helps for sure :p
