Topic: 22r sputtering while driving

[blackyoter416]

having problems with my 22r, it sputters A LOT when i am drivin. it doesnt do it when idling or free rev it. but when im just cruising down the street it sounds like its missing firing every other cylinder. the only way it doesn't do it while im driving it when i floor it. so ive been flooring it every where i drive lately.

please help!!

you have a weber on there??  sounds like the  fuel jets are too small, you need to "richen" it up a bit

[blackyoter416 [OP]]

no its got the stock carb its an 86 too. sounds to me like its too rich if anything. i talked to the guy at the parts store today n he said somethin about the electric choke but i cant figure it out...

[llamas]

start with a new fuel filter..

[blackyoter416 [OP]]

ya ive tried new fuel filter, cap, rotor, plugs, n cleanded the carb but nothing is helping.

[llamas]

Is it a rebuilt carb? is the truck new to you ?

[REG535]

check timing, and wiring

[Rocksurfer]

Sounds like the diaphragm in the in the carb has a hole in it, or has gone bye bye.

[Duffil]

yeah check the AAP diaphragm. it's on the drivers side of the carb, 4 boltl cover.

[blackyoter416 [OP]]

ya the trucks new to me, just my dd.

[Rocksurfer]

My 80 with an 84 22R did this exact thing and it was the Diaphragm, funny thing is my 86 is starting to do this right now and I'm planning on checking it out next week.

[blackyoter416 [OP]]

ya the trucks new to me, just got it for my dd. and i think i read somewhere on the carb that its a reman. and the truck only had 140k on it?? i think its the carb but i really dont want to tear it apart, theres a lot of vacuum lines and crap hooked up to it, looks like a chore to take off

[Rocksurfer]

It ain't so bad, if you have trouble remembering where everything goes just color code or number code everything. Should be a vacuum hose routing diagram somewhere under the hood too.

[llamas]

Yeah ...,when you buy used stuff learn how to work on it or pay some one to do it.On this site these guy's will really help you, they helped me and
if i have a problem this the first place i look for answers........not the dealer or local parts hous these guy's are TOYOTA....yes sir!!!

[blackyoter416 [OP]]

im not afraid to work on anything just trying to figure out if its something simple im overlooking, dont want to tear anything apart i dont have to

[llamas]

Yeah i hear ya ..... but this is about the best advice there is.. and it's OK to question your the advise, ... remember there is no stupid question if you don't know the answer

                    jeeeesh i sound like my father..........good luck !

My 84 22r did the same thing about 15 years ago. I changed the ignition wires and that fixed it. No more sputtering.

[llamas]

Did you fix your problem?

make sure the choke kicks off by opening the butterflies, check this by taking off the air filter assy. top cover and look at the carb.  vacuum leaks can prevent it from operating under speeds over 5mph.  smell the exhaust, is it rich(lots of fuel)?  look  at the choke if ok check the plugs and wires for a fouled plug or bad cap n wires.  last resort check the diaphram in the carb/clogged jets.     good luck
