85 4x4 converted to 22R

Creek · 10-11-09, 09:51 AM

My 85 is all stock except it has been replaced with a 22R...It does not have a snorkel as the exhaust manifold has the re sensor thing on it..What is my predicament as far as passing emissions and resale?

Creek · 10-11-09, 10:08 AM

I am calling it a snorkel..Comes out of the air filter assembly?,,Y'all know what i mean..I am worried i may not pass emissions with this set up?....Any feedback fellas?...Thank you!

No I really don't know what you mean.

Are you saying your truck used to be EFI (22RE) but someone converted it to carburated (22R)? Maybe a pic or 2 would help.

The answer also depends on where you live. Some states (CA) are fussy on emissions. Where I live, anything pre-OBD2 ('96) doesn't get tested, they don't even open the hood.

yes i will get a pic for ya...I am in seattle...they do open the hood

Creek · 10-11-09, 05:24 PM

and yes...it was a 22re...on the manifold exhaust it has a sensor that sticks out..about 3 inches long...i will get pics...thanx

I think some 85's were carbed-were they not? If not, you're screwed. And you may be anyway, if the law requires you to comply with the original vehicle equipment guidelines. There's no way a carbed engine will pass EFI emission requirements.

OK, that's the O2 sensor. It sounds like you don't need it. Just remove it (2 nuts) and put a block-off plate over the hole. LC sells one:

Carb'd 22R's were available in 4WD models thru '87. They put them in 2WD models all the way up thru '95.

I would call the testing place and talk to them, see what they say.

Actually I've seen 22r's as late as 91.

EVEN THE CARBED ONES (some of them) HAD O2 SENSORS!!!
It's probably stock.

My dad's 84 22R 4wd has an O2 sensor.

But yours is probably not doing anything unless they swapped in the 22R computer and hooked it all up too....

cruiser88 · 10-11-09, 09:22 PM

yep......mine did also. California model.

Ya, you know, after some thought... it could very well be that there is an O2 sensor on that thing from the factory. Is it hooked up to anything? What makes you think it was converted to a carb? If you run the VIN thru the toyodiy.com website, it will tell you how it left the factory, and how it was equipped.

KLF, Did Toyota use "feed back carburetors" with any kind of wiring going to them? If they did, the oxygen sensor is just there for very basic fuel trim control.

Creek · 10-12-09, 06:21 AM

It is not hooked to anything...The Air cover/carb cover...has a part missing...it comes out the side and connects to the exhaust manifold and feeds out the front..my 88 has it?...not sure what it is called....?

toy4xfun · 10-12-09, 07:30 AM

keith they did have feedback carbs my 84 had one. and creek the horn you are referring to only takes and sucks hot air off the exhaust manifold when the engine is cold, once it warms up a thermo damper closes and it sucks air from the engine bay. it is only to aid in warmup.
