Fixed the exhaust leak, set timing at 5 degrees BTDC, adjusted TPS and found a vacuum leak at the PCV valve that dropped the idle down to normal. All of this did not fix the choppy idle and while the miss is over a narrower range, it is still there. What I need to do is smooth out the idle and make the miss go away. The PCV valve is a generic Vatozone with a tiny aluminum plate and when the engine is revved the valve chatters because of the pressure. Would an OEM Toyota PCV fix the miss and choppy idle or do I need to get more advanced, like adjust the afm? I am going to run injector cleaner, new PCV valve, clean afm and TB, new plug wires and NGKs and see what happens...after I get paid.
Stupid question...How would one know if a 22re has a mild cam? My 82' will barely hold 65 on a flat highway with a Weber 34/34 and a Thorley Tri-y and this Runner with a 22re wil cruise at 70 all day and pull hills that would put the 82' in 3rd gear and the engine seems stock...with a somewhat lopey idle. If this were the case, does a 22re still run smooth at idle with a mild cam or does it need larger injectors to keep up with fuel demand.
My 82' has a lot more low end than the 85' and stops making power at 2500 rpm. Food for though if anyone can help me out.
