Have you called 22REPerformance? They're great people over there and I'm sure they wouldn't be happy to hear you're having issues.

Yeah I did a few months ago and they didn't seem too interested to be honest. I'm not bashing them, but I didn't get much help.

I'll be honest, I've experience the same thing and I think it's because they're usually slammed and try to get you off the phone as quick as possible. Now more than ever. Maybe you could email Jim and he'll probably write something more in depth when he has free time. I don't want to speak for him but I feel like they don't have a bunch of time to be on the phone.

Yeah I get it, I figured that was it too. But I paid $3k+ and this thing is a huge paper weight so far haha.

Is the vacuum advance on the distributor maybe malfunctioning? Check also that the hall effect sensor in the distributor is working properly and that there is no slop in the distributor bearings.

Are you trying to set the timing warm or cold?

It’s a new (remanufactured) distributor, could be defective I guess.

Yesterday I had the timing light hooked up while the engine was cold.

Get it to run, let it warm up to operating temp, then set the timing, and see if that doesn't help.

Yes, 'new rebuilt" doesn't mean "all new parts", usually means just replacing the parts that went bad.  I would test the vacuum module and see if you can draw a vacuum on both sides.

I let it warm up and then reset the settings on the carb, its a new Weber. It idles fine now but I still have to reset the timing to know anything substantial.
At the moment it will backfire if I rev it too high and when driving it  there is a huge loss in power.

I finally took the Toyota to a Toyota specialist and they found out that my coil was wired wrong as well as the ignition module . I guess letting the Toyota sit for almost a year without an engine, I forgot how some stuff went??

Either way, I'm happy to say it's running normally again with the brand new 22r
