pull your injector plugs one by one to see which one it doesnt get worse with thatll narrow it down some

[jrock [OP]]

Man, it's going to be a pain to do that with the intake still on.

[yotaneck13]

you can pull the plugs with the intake still on its been done before not as hard as your thinking it is cuz all your doin is pullin the plugs and re pluggin em in

[superyota]

don't lose the little metal clips on the injector wires.

you really should do a valve adjustment.  as rough as your truck was idleing sunday before you left my house, thats where i would start.  there is no reason for a stock 22re with a stock cam to be loping like its a built v8.  your valves are more than likely too tight, causing them to not be able to close all the way.  also might explain why the vacuum would bounce between 15-16lbs.  it should sit steady.  15 lbs is where it should be at.  do a valve adjustment!

there is no reason for a stock 22re with a stock cam to be loping like it has a big cam at idle.

wait it was louping jrock said spuddering this is different Not to thread jack jrock jus wanted to put out what i have tried with mine as now our problems sound the same my motor had a fantom loup at idle as well ihave doen everytthing my hole underhood is new everything only 10g's on the motor and everything was new in it when it was rebuilt and i still have this loupe sometimes and others its fine ive been seeing more ppl having this issue i even replace my ecu and fuelpume i have it pretty much narrowed down to a wireing problem somewhere possibly a ground issue ( does the ecu ground through the truck body where it is bolted in place in the cab)

[superyota]

it does sputter, but it also idle's rough.  not sure on if the ecu grounds or not.  i don't think it does.  not sure though.  when i took my truck into the ref after the 22re swap, he unbolted the ecu while the truck was running and pulled it away to read the serial# on the back to make sure it matched.  i would gues probably not on grounding to the body.  i do know there is a couple of pig tails for the injectors that ground to the intake. 
if your motor only has 10k miles on it, i would definitley check the valves for adjustment.  for some reason, the hand full of toyota's i have worked on, the valves seemed to tighten over time rather than loosen up like you would expect.  s

start with what doesn't cost anything, and work your way from that.  the valve adjustment might not be the sputter problem, but it sure sounds like it is with rough idle.  hopefully the sputters not froma burned valve from running the rockers too tight.  here is the order i would do it in...
1. Check valve/rocker arm adjustment
2. Check compression, even if you did it recently
3. Check to make sure all your grounds are connected
4. Check EGR to make sure it is functioning properly(this can cause a sputter if plugged up); what I did with my egr to see if it was working or not when i had a miss/sputter was plug off the vacuum lines going to the diaphram and drive it around to see if it goes away. 
5. Check fuel pressure
6. Start spending money....

im just 5vz swapn it ive replaced everything under hood and my egr is blocked off comp 175 176 176 176 HAVE SHAVE HEAD all ground good  and valves were adjusted at time of rebuild and at end of break in process i may re check them tm tho jus to be 100 sure

[jrock [OP]]

I will adjust the valves tomorrow, when it's not raining, and go from there.

[twistedtoy92]

just out of curiosity, how much was shaved off the head?

[yotaneck13]

my head or his?

[jrock [OP]]

Yours. Mine is not shaved.

[yotaneck13]

o ill have to look i have it written down ill let yall kno tm

[GreenYoterKrawler]

My brother in law has a built blue runner, 22re. before he did a motor swap it ran like it was just on 3 cylinders, turned out his tps was bad. Just thought i'd throw that out there

[yotaneck13]

ive had this stated to me before as well if i unplug it it runs worse so it cant be ive messed with the adjustment as well idk bout yours jrock im jus done with this motor everything is new and i have more money into it that need be someone wants it they can have it
