The cam grinds that I have received from EB have bin imprecise.


In my early days I worked in the engineering department for the Flight Test Division at Hughes Aircraft Company in Culver City, CA.  The amount and level of quality control, quality assurance, and quality testing was amazing!

I have no idea how many camshafts or heads engbldr sells.. but I wonder when the last time Tod or Ted did a quality assurance check and specs check on their camshafts after receiving them from their supplier?  Or would they do a check after installing a camshaft and building their RV head?

... It's all going to work out. 

Yeah... it's probably just a bad connector/connection on #1 injector.... *fingers crossed*  :crossed: :D

Hey H8PVMNT,


Thanks for the positivity.

The intake manifold for coffee beans....

So...

1 - you are being very generous.  :beerchug:

2- coffee beans in Montana are extremely rare and very expensive.  :o

3- The manifold may or may not work.  ::)

4-  You have so many 22R intake manifolds and limited space you need to get rid of some. :gap:

OR.... you want another "tweaker" pal running a carb'd engine. :dancing:

https://www.yotatech.com/f116/3-noid-light-22re-270857/ I cheap noid light

Hi ovrarok,

Yes, I saw that.  It's a cool trick.  I just don't want to spend the time chasing parts and putting it together.... I'm too lazy.

I will justify my purchase of a NOID kit by using MY labor at "no out of pocket" cost to rebuild my engine.  That's how I have justified buying thousands of $$$ worth of "tools" over many years.

For example... I could have paid my tranny shop and extra $200 to remove and re-install my 5-speed when I had them rebuild it.  Instead I bought a $50 tranny jack from Harbor Freight and removed it and re-installed it myself.

I saved $150 and I got a new tranny jack to add to my garage "tools".  :thumbs:

Thank you for the input.  :)

Is he NOT joking about adjusting the valve lash at the bottom of the base circle of the camshaft?

And, most of my engines have performed very well to extraordinarily well.... so I must be doing something right.

UPDATE 4-1-17

Problem SOLVED!!

My next door neighbor has been bugging me to buy my truck for several years.

Yesterday, he said: "How much would it take?"

I said:  "It's worth $10,000, but for you I will sell it for $9,000!"..... so to my utter shock 'n awe... he said: "I'll have the cash for you night!"  :yikes:

So, now what do I do?  :dunno:

UPDATE 4-1-17 PM

Experience is the Mother of education!  And, I don’t have much with my Toyota trucks…. Just haven’t had to “work” on them much.

I believe I have uncovered the mystery misfire.

It looks like one of the metal bifurcated contacts inside the injector connector is broken off… so only one contact on the injector connector was connected to the two injector teminals.

The ohms tested on the connector at 1.9 (FSM says 1.5 to 3.0 ohms) – so I assume there is no issue, at this point, with the wires inside the harness.

I don’t think there is enough room to get the #1 injector connector off the injector without removing the thermostat housing, TPS, and hoses.  The length of the pigtail is not long enough to connect the Noid light on it anyway… so the Noid light test using the one in the kit I bought is useless for this test.  The one that ovrarok linked would work, because you could make the length of the wires what you need.  Once you get a Noid light connected, you would still have to re-install the thermostat housing, TPS, and hoses so you could start the engine and pulse the injector connector with the Noid light plugged in.  So in my opinion, the Noid light test for this 22RE would not be practical.

So what I have learned knowing what I know NOW….

If I could do a rewind on this project and before dropping in the engine…

1 – I would have replaced all of the injector connectors BEFORE installing the intake manifold and chamber and t-body.  Even if they all looked good, I would have taken the time to cut, solder, heat shrink, and test the new connectors – it is just not worth the hassle of those 31 year old brittle connectors failing.

2 – I would have ohm checked all the new injector connectors to make sure there is NO problem with the wiring in the harness.

3 – I would NOT have purchased the Noid light kit – for this diagnosis.

So for those of you who may read this and do a rebuild, or any kind of maintenance where you have to pull the injector connectors on an 20 or 30 year old 22R-E or 22R-TE, if you don’t replace the injector connectors, you should visually check the contacts inside each connector, then ohm check each one – BEFORE installing the chamber and throttle body on the engine.

You can see in the photo that the plastic housing is broken and the wire spring grooves are completely missing.  You can also see where the contact is broken off.

I believe there is enough room so I can cut and solder on a new connector and then ohm check it.

And, while I have the TPS off, I will replace the two stock little screws with allen screws!! That bottom one is almost impossible to get to!!!

I’ll post up photos when I’m finished.

New injector plugs are $6.99 at Oreily's or $4.44 on Rockauto.  I would go with a walk in store, so you know they will fit. 


I would send you my spare harness, but its for 1988, and thats the one year they had to be different. 



I would pull the upper intake, and unplug the injectors, and check them all, and replace.  Then check resistance in the wires.  Put it all back together, and should take care of the issue.

Hi Cheesemaker,

Yes, I'm going to buy a pig tail connector this morning at one of my local parts stores.... if they have one in stock. It always seemed strange that these auto parts stores don't carry much stock for the 22s... one of THE most popular globally distributed engines ever built and STILL running!!

I very much appreciate the offer on your wire harness.  You might consider holding on to that if you need it as a spare or trading or selling it when you need to.... they appear to be rare and not being manufactured as a direct replacement.  And, as I mentioned, the idea of replacing an entire wire harness would seem like a bad nightmare to me.

I agree that I SHOULD pull the chamber and replace them, BUT... I've put so much time into assembly that I will just replace the #1 connector, at this point, and fire the engine to finish the break-in.  Now that I know of the potential connector issues, I will be on alert.

Thanks for the input.

Gnarls.

Hey :)bestgen4runner,

So you posted this, I assume just jokingly.  :greengrin:

*quote* Is it wrong for Me to enjoy the blind leading the blind.   
Here is some advice. Go back to basics, what does it take to fire a cylinder?
We have been over this before.
#1
#2
#3
#4
Fill in the blanks. *unquote*


The blind is me.  To me there was no one leading the blind, just offering suggestions and double checking common mistakes, right?  :beerchug:

By that post I had already established that:

#1 – the #1 cylinder had spark
#2  - the #1 cylinder had sufficient compression
#3 – the engine started so it had enough starting RPM
#4 – So…#1 cylinder was most likely not getting enough fuel or too much fuel

So at that point we were passed “going back to basics” , right?  :psss:

Then you posted:

*Quote*  Try adjusting all the valves again making sure each valve is adjusted when you are on the back side of the cam lobe. This exact same thing happended to me and is why I will never use a crap EB cam again.
poor cam grind is likely your problem. If you adjust it on the back side of each lobe it will run on all 4 cyl. *Unquote*

*quote*  Man oh man.
There is a peak to the lobe (the tallest part)
You should be adjusting each valve on the back side (the complete opposite of the peak)
This is how it's been done for years. *unquote*

Please explain how you adjusted the valve lash by setting the valve lash spec on bottom of the cam lobe at the base circle of the camshaft?  :dunno:

So why would a gas soaked spark plug NOT fire the mixture….???

I suspect, and just my weird thinking, the reason that when I immediately pulled the plugs after first firing the engine, and noted that 2, 3, and 4 were firing, and #1 was not, but seemed wet, smelled like gas, and dried quickly in the air – is because the injector plunger was getting just enough fuel pressure to slightly dribble gas into the chamber.  Because the injector was not firing, the fuel was not atomized enough to actually combust with a proper A/F mixture.  :dunno:

Gnarls. :spin:

UPDATE:  4-2-17 PM

AutoZone had 1 injector connector in stock.  I cut the old injector connector off, soldered it on and sealed solder joints with shrink tube.

That fixed the no-fire on cylinder #1.

The engine only had about 20 minutes of run time since initial firing.  I took it for very short test run, about 1/2 mile.  It had an unexpected miss from idle to about 3,000 RPM and slight blubber in the exhaust on deceleration.

Back in the garage I pulled the spark plugs and they looked fine.  I timed the ignition and took it for a longer test to get more gas, then took in for a longer drive on the back roads.  I kept it under 55 MPH and varied the speed.  By about 10 miles the miss went away, and it had better throttle response - but it did not seem to be as perky as I thought it should and it didn’t feel smooth.  After about 20 miles I tach’d it to 4000 several times in 1st and 2nd.   At about 40 miles I drove down the freeway 4 miles at 65 MPH and the truck started vibrating badly.  I’m not sure what the cause is… maybe the tires have flat spots because it sat for over 4 years.  I noticed a sharp clank at clutch start, and when I backed up into the garage.  So now the engine has about 45 miles on it.

I need to find the clank, fix the fuel gauge, and have Discount Tires check out the tires.  Then I can take it for longer drive to get some miles on it.

I don’t see any leaks!  It starts up and idles nice.

I feel much better that its running, but it does have a little more noise than I think it should have.  It doesn’t sound like rockers or loose valve lash.  It’s more like a clunk.  I don’t like the sound.

So I’ve got some things to fix before I will start driving it.

In the Noid Light Kit, the light for the 1986 22RE is one I circled in yellow..... Bosch2.

Oh and on the note about your tires... My 82 has been sitting for about a year (various reasons for that), and the tires developed a baaaad case of dry rot. Be careful with stagnant tires!

Probably tires, but not flat spot.   Flat spots go away once tires warm up.     Either balance weight (hopefully) or see above....

Misfire might be another iffy connector.

Clunk: driveshaft splines loose (did you relube shaft?),   loose bolts, or u-joint bad.

As for perky,  the engine has more friction now (breakin) so you lose some there; and the ECU is still learning the new setup.....

Hey fireitup,

Yeah... thank you.  I really appreciate all the good input and encouragement.  :greengrin:

Hey emsvitil,

The vibration...  Well, before I parked the truck in 2013, the tires were fresh and balanced well.  I cleaned and relubed the U-joints and spline and was careful with re-installing them, so I'd be surprised if they are loose.  The amount of vibration feels like tires, but could be in drive line.  I will check it out, and then have Discount Tire look at the tires... geezzz I would hate to have to buy brand new tires again!... but I should have blocked up the truck.

The clank at start and back up...  that sounds like very sharp metallic clank with a very slight lag.  I will check motor mounts and drive line.  I may have to put it up on jack stands and get under the truck with my wife doing the shifting test?

The misfire... it has a very slight misfire during low RPM between off idle and 25 MPH, just driving slowly in 1st gear. I don't think its spark or ignition timing.  It could be air/fuel mixture? I will pull the plugs this afternoon.  I will do some diags on the ignitor and coil.  Yes, the issue could be 3 other bad injector connectors!.. or some wires in the harness that are not getting a solid connection or ground.

I am still wondering about this cam profile.  IF, after about 200 miles, and all my normal "tweaking" and verifying all systems are performing normal, it doesn't smooth out, I may consider swapping in a different camshaft.  I can re-install the stock cam that was in the old head as a test.

I don't have the pleasure of previously breaking in a rebuilt 22RE so I don't have anything to compare to.  I realize at only 45 or so miles on a break in its still "stiff".  I have read that the ECU "learns", but I would like to understand what EXACTLY does that mean.  The ECU and input from the sensors have electrical ranges and limitations - what are those limitations?

This rebuild has been a real challenge and interesting.  I sincerely appreciate all the input, great advice, shared knowledge, and the poking fun at me.  My truck is my second "hobby" right now, and it would not be as fun if it weren't for all of you who contribute to my experience!!  Thank you with HUGE-ness!

Gnarls.
