so i am the "Toyota guy" out of my group of friends that are all full size people so i have to show them up as much as possible so today we were in a local mud hole and they didn't want to hit it straight so i did long story short it was way deep i got sum mud water in my intake (stock 22r carb) now i don't idal and also hard start but it runs fine if i keep my foot in it does anyone know an easy fix or what my problem is

ps i have no idea how to spell "idal" i don't spell so good but i think you know what i mean

Try pulling the plugs and drying out the distributor.  And it is idle..

i drowned mine one time, same motor. and it ran like crap for a couple mins, then i took it out on the highway and it burned whatever crap was in there out, and it ran fine after a bit.

[CrawlerBrennan [OP]]

i think my problem is in the carb because if i mess with it like carb clean it will run till it has to just idle then it slowly starts to die out then about 1000 it just craps out

X2, distributor cap HAS to come off and get checked and dried out, as well as all the distributor electronics.  Napa carries a spray for just this purpose, just can't remember what it's called.  How long have you run it since?  If it's in the carb it would have cleaned out after a few minutes at most.  I'd also grab a can of HEET and poor it in the tank.  It should help flush out any water that may be lingering in the float bowl if you somehow got some in there.

possibly water in the fuel?

[79coyotefrg]

spray the dist cap (inside) with WD-40

clean carb


you might have gotten muddy water in one of the vacuum switches that operate the fuel cut solenoid,

OK all i did was carb clean the crap out of every thing every wear i could get to in the carb let it sill a day started it ran for a few min died then started it again ran fine drove it drove fine parked it got ready for work went out got in turnedkey and nothing starter didn't even try so now I'm like wtf so hop in my dad 4runner go to work then get off its been raining hard [im in clovis] open my door to get sum stuff out of it then just try for shits and giggals and starter works again didn't start it because its almost 2 am but the starter is now working again that's cool because now i can drive it again but why didn't it work earlyer i don't have an alarm but do have kill switch and at time of no starter it was turned on so that wasn't it 

[Travis H]

sounds like the starter is going out, and just happened to work when you tried it?

[Bazzi]

or the key cylinder socket thingy is loose or broken

[CrawlerBrennan [OP]]

i think its the oringinal starter how long do they normally last its an 82

did it click?? yota starters  usually dont wear out, but the brass contacts do,  but are easy to replace,  ive done it without pulling the starter

little plate with 3 screws,  contacts are in there

[CrawlerBrennan [OP]]

when it happened every thing went just like it always does till i turned my key all the way to turn it on then my dash lites got dim and i could tell their was draw from the noise but nothing not a click or any thing iv had lots of cars that click click click but no stater but never like this were it didn't do anything at all really threw me for a loop

If it still won't idle after you dry the distributor, open the hood and look at the little fuel level window on the front of the carb. Rev it till it clears out then let off the gas and watch the fuel level in that window. After you let off the gas the fuel level should go up and stay somewhere inbetween the two little metal tab looking things on the outside of that window. If the fuel in that window exceeds past the top tab then you could have sucked up some dirt or something causing the float in the carb to stick.

When I first got my license and my old truck I went mudding a few times and sucked some mud into the carb and had this same problem.

Mine does that from time to time.  Try turning off everything - the lights, the radio, a/c /blower motor, and so on, then starting it.  If the battery isn't putting out enough voltage to trip the relay attached to the clutch pedal sensor, nothing happens.(also try pressing the clutch bypass switch)   In my case, it's a combination of cold weather, older battery, lights and radio on... so I'm just in the habit of starting it with all of that off in the winter.

1st gen trucks or trucks with 22R's don't usually have a cluth start sensor.
